This literally almost never happens. 1. I make a dinner. 2. I post it to my Instagram. 3. I get a dozen DM's. Everyone was swooning over my Portobello Bruschetta photo that I posted to my Instagram Story. Hindsight, I'm assuming it had a little something to the lighting, plating, and the colors. But part… Continue reading Portobello Bruschetta

What’s Crocking
What's Crocking was originally a blog that I started for a class as I finalized my undergraduate degree. Now it has turned into a hobby. Since my move to Utah is only weeks away I thought what better way to keep the magic cooking than by continuing my new found passion in a new place. … Continue reading What’s Crocking
Cinnamon Applesauce
Yummy, Cinnamon Applesauce! Check out this SUPER easy recipe!
Caution: this recipe will make your house smell wonderful! The majority of the time that goes into this is preparation time of peeling and chopping the apples. I hand picked both Red Delicious apples and McIntosh apples from Door Creek Orchard to make this tasty, two ingredient recipe. Each apple included will yield one small dish of applesauce – the more the merrier.
_______________
Ingredient List:
- 6-8 medium sized apples
- 4 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
Directions:
- Peel/skin apples
- Chop apples into small 1/2 inch pieces
- Put chopped pieces into the crock pot
- Add cinnamon (do this to taste, while the recipe may call for 4 tablespoons, feel free to add more)
- With a medium sized spoon mix the chopped apples and cinnamon together
- Cover and cook on ‘High’ for 5 hours
Roast Beef and Cooked Carrots
Check out my sister blog site ‘What’s Crocking’ Roast Beef and Cooked Carrots!! Yummy.
A recipe courtesy of my family cupboard. My family and I love this fix and forget dish because it is simple and takes less than a minute to put together. I used a boneless top round beef roast but any cut will work. The Coca-Cola does a good job of breaking down the beef and tenderizing it to a juicy perfection. The final dish can be served plain or with a simple gravy dressing. Being slow cooked with the onion soup and dip packet adds a familiar taste to a traditional dish. Enjoy minimal preparation time with maximum taste. This dish feeds four people, and can be refrigerated up to four days.
_______________
Ingredient List:
- 3 pounds of beef roast (any cut—I used a boneless top round roast)
- 20 ounces bottle of Coca-Cola
- 1 packet of Lipton Onion Soup and Dip Mix
- 2 cups of carrots
Directions:
- Place 3 pound beef roast at the bottom the crock pot
