Laurie over at Passionate Penny Pincher sent over her recipes for the week. She has a couple of great slow cooker meals that are sure to come in handy for any of us who seem to always be short on time!
I am a huge fan of Chicken Tortilla Soup – but I have never attempted to make it in the slow cooker! I think that will change soon.
Her other recipe is a kid’s dream come true (ok…mine too!) – Mac & Cheese! I have a rocking mac & cheese recipe that I do in my slow cooker. I will have to pull it out and compare it to Laurie’s recipe. I have not made it in forever but after looking at her pic, I have a little motivation to make it soon.
If you don’t have a good slow cooker what are you waiting for? Did you know that it is Crocktober

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe for Tortilla Soup! I found it last year, and made it one night just to try something new. Everyone in my family loves it too! It’s a regular at my house now. So easy that I mix it and turn on my slow cooker when I leave for work in the morning, and dinner is ready when I walk in the door. I love that! Gotta try the mac n cheese sometime soon too.
Psst. You have “is is” instead of “it is Crocktober” 🙂 Have a great day! 🙂
