#SundaySupper – Low & Slow Style
Happy Sunday friends!!! Another weekend come and gone………..it’s OK with me since, one, I’m dying for some warmer weather and two because I’m counting the weeks until we get to meet my baby boy!! Now this weeks theme is right up my alley! Anyone who knows me must know by now that me and my slow cooker (aka. Crock-It) have a serious love affair going on! All Winter long I put it to good use, during the summer I use it to avoid using the oven, it’s a win win for this Momma! Well this weeks #SundaySupper theme is more than just slow cooker recipes! It’s any recipe that cooked Low or Slow!! A big thank you to Susan over at The Girl in the Little Red Kitchen for hosting this fabulous event. OK so what did I decide to share with you today? Well I’ve been making this dish for a long time, it’s by go to old time favorite that I used to make in a casserole dish in my oven. Well I decided to try it in the crock pot this time and boy was I NOT disappointed! I even ventured out their and used chicken thighs instead of my usual chicken breasts. I also added some fresh cilantro (my new fav!) after it cooked and the dish! It’s simple and delish! I often serve it with plain brown rice and use the tomatoes to mix it with so it adds flavor to the rice!
Ingredients
- 1 lb. of boneless chicken thighs (or breasts)
- 1 14 oz can of diced tomatoes (onion and garlic)
- 1 jar of salsa or homemade
- Fresh Cilantro
Instructions
- Pour the diced tomatoes and salsa into a crock pot.

Cinco De Mayo for #SundaySupper!!!
Not only is it #SundaySupper time but it’s also a theme that I personally love!! Who doesn’t LOVE Mexican food? Well this Momma does and so does her family so this week you are going to love these dishes!! This even is being hosted by a personal fav of mine! Jen from Junita’s Cocina!!! Thanks for hosting such a mouth watering event Jen! When I was trying to decide what to make I thought back to some of the dishes that I’ve made in the past, I was tempted to make one of them again, but wanted to try something different. I used this event and this day as an excuse to make a few Mexican dishes! I’ve always wanted to try my own homemade Salsa before, I’ve also wanted to make a Mexican salad all on my own (meaning not from someone else’s recipe) and I also wanted to try Tacquito’s too soooooooo………I decided to make the Salsa using that primarily as my dressing for the Salad and then I made Tacquito’s for my family Saturday night for dinner, so stay tuned for that recipe!!
Now for a Salsa, I wanted something simple, I wanted to make it in my new hand blender I just bought from Pampered Chef and I wanted to make it at the mouth watering temperature that was right for my family!! I also like my Salsa a little chunky as well. I was highly impressed with myself, either that or Salsa is really that easy to make on your own and I’ve just been missing out on the goodness of homemade! I’m not sure I’ll ever go back to store bought again, it has a certain “freshness” to it that jarred Salsa does not have.
Ingredients
- 1 Can of Diced Tomatoes w/green chilies
- 1 Fresh tomato
- 1 Small onion
- 1/2 Cup of fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 2 jalapeno peppers (I chose to not seed them, if you want to cut the heat, de-seed them!)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Chop up the tomato, onion and jalapeno's (don't worry about the size they are gong in the blender!) Pour can of diced tomatoes in a processor followed by the remaining ingredients.
- Add the cilantro, salt and pepper at the end so you can taste as you go. Puree to your desired thickness. I had a manual processor and it worked great. I just kept tasting and adding cilantro until I got to the taste I wanted.

http://www.mommasmeals.org/cinco-de-mayo-for-sundaysupper/Now for the salad I decided to just cook some chicken breasts in a Fajita seasoning. I bought a Fajita seasoning mix packet, cut my chicken into thin strips and sauteed them on top of my stove! How easy is that for a little kick in the salad. As far as what I put in the salad, well I used what I liked, you can use whatever you’d like but here are some idea’s.
Ingredients
- Romaine Mix Lettuce
- 2 Chicken Breasts, sliced
- 1 pkg. of Fajita seasoning mix
- 1 Avocado
- 1 Tomato, chopped
- 1/4 Cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 Cup of light sour cream
- Other additions: Tomatoes, Corn, black beans, green chilis
Instructions
- Saute chicken strips with a little bit of olive oil and fajita seasoning, turning them until they are cooked through.
- Lay them on top of the lettuce and top with your favorite Mexican additions!
- Use sour cream and homemade salsa above for dressing.

New Cooking Adventures for #SundaySupper
So this weeks theme is all about trying something new. Something we’ve never made before, something we would like to experiment with. So let new cooking adventures consume your Sunday!!! Grab a cup of coffee and dive into new ventures in the kitchen this week! This fabulous event is hosted by The Foodie Army Wife. Thanks for hosting such a daring event Conni!!
Besides once you see what I’ve chosen your going to want to check out my recipe, one because it rocked and two because, well I despise anything fishy. I vowed to never cook anything sea worthy in my kitchen. Like ever. Never. However………I did it. I’m not sure what made me choose a seafood dish, there are plenty of things I have yet to try. Baking a cheesecake for example, or making Polenta, or how about a simple coffee cake, I’ve never made any of those, I’ve never even made a Prime Rib or Beef Tenderloin yet! Gosh the more I write this the more I wonder why I chose a fishy smelly dish!
Oh yes that’s right, my husband. He loves Scallops and I love making him happy. I love making him things he loves. I knew I wouldn’t eat them and I was afraid it would smell up my kitchen, or worse even, my whole house!! AH! However when my mom and I passed the “Fish” department at the local Meat store down the street (our new favorite place since moving) I couldn’t help but grab a package of scallops. Mom promised me that they wouldn’t smell up my whole kitchen. I knew my mother-in-law was coming for dinner this week so I planned it around that and now had 3 people I could feed them too (luckily my sister is on my side when it comes to smelly yucky fish items!). I went on the search for a Scallop recipe that would be easy yet good, how was I to know since I don’t even like them you ask??? I didn’t……I went with my mom’s opinion on baking them in a breadcrumb mixture. Not only a breadcrumb mixture but when I read the recipe and realized the only thing I didn’t have in my kitchen was the actual breadcrumbs, I decided to make my own!! I used a handful of whole wheat saltine crackers and Italian seasoning and popped them right in the food processor and wala……..instant breadcrumbs!!! Yay me!
Recipe Adapted From: Everyday Gourmet
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 pounds seas-scallops, rinsed, drained, and dried with paper towel.
- 3/4 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 Tbsp parsley
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- In small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, garlic powder, paprika, parsley, minced garlic. Set aside.
- Pour melted butter into oven proof casserole dish or pan. Roll Scallops in butter and arrange them evenly in the dish.
- Top each scallop with 1 tbsp. of bread crumb mixture.
- Bake in oven until scallops are firm, about 20 minutes.

Easy Baked Ziti for #SundaySupper
This Sunday you will find great starters and snacks for your upcoming Spring gathering. Soups, salads and Sandwiches for the perfect setting. Main dishes, drinks and sweet endings for your perfect party right here at this fabulous themed #SundaySupper!
I’ve been given a few “Showers” in my time and I’ve thrown a few “Showers” in my time. I’d like to offer some tips and idea’s only because I love love love throwing a party, I love entertaining and I LOVE LOVE LOVE making a very a special occasion as special as I can for someone I love. Between lots of weddings and babies over the years I’ve learnt a lot and still enjoy every second of them! My newest one will be next year since my best friend just got engaged and I get to be the Maid of Honor for the very first time! Yay! So stay tuned for some tips and pictures tomorrow I’ll do a special post to offer more ideas for any and all parties!! A special thanks to today’s Hostess, Brandie from Home Cooking Memories! Thanks for hostessing such a great event Brandie! Now onto these yummy recipes!
I chose a recipe that I’ve come to enjoy making over the years. I make it for any of my girlfriends or neighbors that have just had a baby. When I had my daughter in 2010 one oft my friends brought over a casserole that consisted of enough dinner for 3 nights for my husband and I! She even brought bread and dessert to go with it. I remember thinking she was my savior that weekend because I had no idea that when you have a baby the last thing you want to do is take care of yourself! Since that gentle mark of kindness meant so much to me I’ve been doing the same thing for my friends since then. I just made one last week for a very good friend of mine who gave birth to her first baby!! While making it I thought, what a great dish to share with all of you for this event!
This dish freezes great and serves many of people. Bring some garlic bread and cookies and it's a dish for a busy or sick friend. Bring it to a party with the directions added on top so you can drop it off and mingle!
Ingredients
- 1 lb of Ziti
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- Olive Oil
- 1 lb of ground turkey
- 1 jar of tomato sauce
- 1 1/2 cups of grated Mexican cheese or four cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup of seasoned bread crumbs
- Cooking Spray
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- Boil Ziti according to package directions. Drain and set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile in a large saute pan add green peppers, onions, oil and ground turkey. Break up turkey and brown slowly adding salt and pepper as needed. (about 10-15 min). Add the cooked mixture to the cooled ziti. Pour in all of the pasta sauce reserving 1/4 cup. Add in 1 cup of grated cheese and mix to combine.
- Spray a 13x9 in baking pan with cooking spray. Pour the pasta into the pan, filling to the top. Dot the top of the casserole with the remaining pasta sauce, sprinkle with 1/2 cup of cheese and finish with sprinkling the bread crumbs on top.
- Wrap with tinfoil to bring to a friends house or freeze for another day. I write on the tinfoil: Bake for 20 min at 350F covered and 10 min uncovered. That way my friends know exactly how to make it.

Individual Deep Dish Pizza’s for #SundaySupper
This weeks #SundaySupper theme is super fun!! Who is a movie buff?? I am I am!! I LOVE watching movies, any movies, all movies. My all time favorites are comedies and dramas. One month shy of my 21st birthday (seems like moons ago) I lost my ex-boyfriend in a motorcycle accident. Life as I knew it was over. Or so I thought until I learned not even a year later that my dad had stage 4 lung cancer. Don’t worry I’m not telling you these sad stories to make you all sad, I’m telling you them because movies………..well movies took me out of my world of darkness for the 90-120 min that they were being played. I used them to zone out and forget about my feelings for the hour or so that they lasted for. STILL here I am 14 years later still using movies to zone out, not so much to me out of misery anymore, but more to just relax and forget about the world, forget about my responsibilities, and just laugh (hence why comedies are my favorite). Drama’s are my second favorite because man………..my life seems so much better compared to 90% of the drama filled movies that are out there LOL. Hey whatever works right!! This awesome event is being hosted by Heather over at girlchef!! Yes that name sounds familiar because this Momma featured her a few weeks back!! Thanks for hosting Heather!
Well today’s theme is to choose a dish from a movie that has inspired us! This one was tough for me, only because I have A LOT of favorites. When I was running it by my sister one afternoon (she knows movies better than I do, though I probably watch more) she listed off a bunch of favs. When she said Mystic Pizza I said wait!!! That’s it! Though this movie is a oldy and I was all of 10 when it came out, I watched it years later as a teenager. The movie is about 3 coming of age women who work at a pizza shop as they lead us to wonder where their lives are going…..It’s got drama, it’s got comedy and at the age I first saw it at, I could relate. Soooooooo I cooked up a pizza. Not just your average looking/tasting pizza. Don’t worry, I made it fun!
I got a new pan from Pampered Chef a few weeks back and I’ve been dying to use it so I decided to make Individual Deep Dish Pizza’s! Feel free to use whatever topping you may enjoy, I used pepperoni because my daughter loves it, I also used some ground sausage and pepper to throw a veggie in there for my picky eater. You may not have this cutesy little pan that I have but all you need is a large muffin tin pan, or heck, even a regular one is fine too, I just LOVE deep dish pizza!!
Ingredients
- Your favorite pizza dough (I use pillsbury artisian style pizza dough)
- Pizza Sauce
- Mexican Cheese
- Pepperoni
- Jimmy Dean pre-cooked turkey sausage
- Italian Seasoning
- Oil Spray
Instructions
- Roll out the pizza dough and use a round cutter (or the top of a bowl or cup) to cut circles in the dough. Use your judgement on the size given whatever pan you are using.
- Spray each cup with a good amount of oil.
- Place the cut out dough in each cut, pressing firmly into place and up the sides
- Place a tablespoon or two of sauce in the cup, followed by some toppings and some grated cheese.
- Place another circle of dough and repeat the layer, ending in cheese.
- **Bake according to your pizza dough directions. More time may need to be added depending on how deep the cup is. The Pillsbury dough gave a time for deep dish so I used that and it was spot on.
Notes
If using regular size muffin tins don't double the layers. It'll make 8 pizzas.

Today’s theme is being hosted by two awesome hosts that I have had the pleasure of getting to know outside of #SundaySupper. Lane from Supper For A Steal and Pam from The Meltaways.
Thanks for bringing these dishes to our table ladies!!
The recipe I chose for today is simple and VERY budget friendly. It’s a pasta dish that adds flavor and a great heaping pile of veggies!
Ingredients
- 1 pound of dry spaghetti (or fettuccini)
- 4 tbsp of unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- 2-4 garlic cloves, minced
- 12 oz. bag of frozen collards
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
- Boil water and cook pasta to al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Mircrowave the collards in the bag for half the time it calls for.
- While the pasta is cooking chop garlic and add to a small saute pan with the olive oil. Add the collards to the garlic mixture and coat well.
- Add the butter to a large saute pan and twirl the pan around until the butter melts, becomes brown and has a nutty fragrance. (you'll be able to smell it!)
- Add the pasta on top of the melted browned butter mixture and move around with tongs coating the pasta well. Plate.
- Add the collard greens on top of the pasta and sprinkle the parmesan cheese on top. Serve.

Healthy Bean & Sausage Soup For A Souper #SundaySupper!!
Yup you guessed it! It’s a Soup kind of #SundaySupper! I don’t know about you but I could seriously live on Soup! Starting in October I enjoy making fall themed Soups. Winter comes and it’s flu season, this season I’ve never eaten as much soup as I have! When all you want are those fresh veggies and that warm broth on your throat. Spring comes around and you want to do away with the soups and break out the grill, but I’m tempted to try some chilled soups this season! Well we’ve got them all right here! Pam over at the Meltaways. Yup that name sounds familiar because Pam was Featured here for a Featured Friday not so long ago! I am happy to see her hosting this awesome event!
I have so many favorite soups, I make new ones all the time, it’s one “food group” I love experimenting with, I originally got the idea from another website but I’ve been really trying to see outside the internet lately and just go with what I feel is going to taste good, I’m so glad I went with it, because again, I wasn’t disappointed!! 
A hearty healthy soup for a cold winters night. Warms up great for leftovers too! Serve with warm bread and it's a meal!
Ingredients
- 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
- 1 1/2 tsp of basil
- 1 tbsp of Herbes De Provence

- Olive OIl
- 36 oz of chicken broth
- 1 cup of water
- 1 1/2 cups of fresh spinach
- 5 celery Ribs, chopped
- 5 carrots, Chopped
- 1/2 bag of frozen Edamane Beans
Instructions
- Saute carrots and celery with olive oil in a stock pot for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile remove sausage from casings and add to the pan. Add garlic.
- Saute together until sausage is browned, roughly 10 minutes.
- Add the broth, water, and all the seasonings, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.

Skinny Meals for #SundaySupper
Of course our #SundaySupper team got together to host a “Skinny Event!” Aren’t you excited!!!!!???? Sue from Sue’s Nutrition Buzz is hosting this fabulous event so lets give her a hand! You know Sunithi, AKA Sue, I’ve cooked a dish from her before, I just posted it last week, Corn Chowder Mac N Cheese!
Healthifying a dish, is very important to me. It’s part of the reason why this blog was started because I love cooking and I love sharing recipes with people, sharing is half of it but making the recipe Good…..Healthy or even Hearty is the other half to me. I try replacing artificial ingredients with fresh ingredients, I substitute additions that are high in fat with low and in fat and high in fiber additions, I also try and make each of my dishes scream FLAVOR!!
You know that I love my #SundaySupper crew and I’ve made MANY of their dishes, this weeks theme is no different. I am setting a goal to make sure I put at least 5 if not more of these awesome dishes on my MUST TRY list over the next few months because once baby Drew is born this Momma is going strict again!
When choosing a recipe for this week I contemplated making a favorite dish and healthifying it, give you the true meaning behind what this Momma tries to do in the kitchen but I wanted to make something new. Something different. So I reverted back to my favorite site that I first found when I started making healthier dishes in my kitchen. Man did I pick a good one!!
Slow Cooker Pork and Green Chile Stew
Serves: 6 (roughly 5 Cups, 3/4 Cup a serving)
Recipe From: Skinnytaste.com
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs* boneless pork loin roast, lean, all fat trimmed off
- salt and pepper to taste
- cooking spray
- 2 tbsp unbleached all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup diced onion
- 2 cans (4.25 oz each) whole green chiles, sliced into thick rounds
- 2 tbsp chopped jalapeño, or more to taste
- 10 oz can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Ro*Tel Mild)
- 1/2 cup fat-free low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Directions:
Cut pork into 2-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a large non-stick skillet on high heat; when hot lightly spray the pan with oil and brown the pork over medium heat on all sides, about 3 – 4 minutes total. Sprinkle 1 tbsp of flour over pork and stir to cook 30 seconds, sprinkle remaining flour over pork and cook an additional 30 seconds.
Add browned pork to the crock pot, along with the remaining ingredients.
Cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4 houts (if using a Dutch oven, cook on low heat for 3-4 hours). When done, adjust season, salt and pepper to taste if needed.
I wanted to serve this over brown rice, however I was out (hate when that happens) so instead I served it over Stir Fry noodles. JUST AS GOOD!

Chicken Parm for #SundaySupper and #SauteExpress
Pssssst………guess what????? Guess who I am working with again???? I was so ecstatic to find out that I was one of the lucky chosen bloggers to work with Land O Lakes® and their new product!! Let me introduce to you a seasoned butter & olive oil saute starter called, Sauté Express® Sauté Starter!!!! I can’t think of an easier way to make a good, healthy, hearty, quick, weeknight meal. YES all of those things in a beautifully wrapped little square my friends. How you ask? Visit your local store that sells Land O Lakes® Saute Express, choose one of these awesome recipes that my fellow #SundaySupper bloggers have come up with, whip out your favorite saute pan…………and wala! Dinner is ready on a busy night!
You have to take my word for it, you trust me right? I’ve used Land O Lakes® products before and I’ve never been disappointed. Remember my awesome Glazed Chicken w/Butter and Pecan Rice? Yup that was Land O Lakes® product too!! Once I was introduced to Sauté Express® Sauté Starter I looked and looked for a recipe, it took me a whole day of glancing through their website, other people’s ideas, I really wanted to try something of my own and I already had a rough idea of what I wanted, I just couldn’t piece it together, I really never “made it” happen until I actually cooked it and then proceeded to eat almost the whole dish. Hey I’m eating for two remember! I’m so glad that I just went with my thoughts on this dish because it was awesome! So flavorful, I already started selling it to my sister the next day when she had some for lunch. She’s a single gal, doesn’t love cooking like I do, likes to cook healthy but quickly. I think I have her sold!
I know, I know, enough talking, let’s get down to the details!
Chicken Parm Tenders over Spinach & Orzo
Serves: 4
Recipe From: Momma @ Momma’s Meals
Cook Time: 30 Min.
Ingredients:
1lb. of Chicken Tenders (Any chicken is fine, breasts, cutlets)
1 box of frozen Spinach, thawed
1 can of diced tomatoes
1/2 box of Orzo
1/2 cup of egg whites
1/2 cup of Italian bread crumbs
3 Squares of Italian Sauté Express® Sauté Starter
Parmesan Cheese
Helful Hints to Save on Time:
- Make Orzo ahead of time to save on cooking time. Make on a Sunday and pop it in the fridge until your ready to cook the rest of this delicious dinner on a busy week night.
- You also do not have to bread the chicken, I made it both ways and the flavor of this product makes both ways perfect! It eliminates steps and makes it a bit healthier if you just saute the chicken rather than bread it first. I now have realized that the true “Chicken Parm bread feeling” did not have to be done.
- In order to make this dish even quicker, get everything out and ready to go, it happens so fast every thing will be right their by your saute pan. Take your frozen spinach out of the freezer that morning to let it thaw out, open it and get it ready to throw together!
What to do:
- If the Orzo has not been previously made, make according to package directions and set aside. I did this ahead of time and had it by the stove ready to go.
- In a small bowl add the egg whites. In another small bowl add the breadcrumbs. Dip each piece of chicken (whether it be the tenders or the cutlets) into the egg whites and then dip it into the bowl of breadcrumbs and coat well. Repeat with all of chicken.
- While you coat the chicken heat a saute pan on medium heat and add a square of Italian Sauté Express® Sauté Starter, once it starts to melt add the chicken in piece by piece sauteing it with the block of seasoning. Add a half a block of the Italian Sauté Express® Sauté Starter to finish the chicken. Cook until no longer pink inside. (times differ depending on the type of chicken used)
- Place the chicken on a serving dish and cover it with a piece of tinfoil. Add the last block and a half of the Italian Sauté Express® Sauté Starter. Once it’s almost melted add in the cooked orzo, spinach and diced tomatoes. Mix well until everything is incorporated together.
- Add chicken to the top of the Orzo Pasta and transfer back to the serving dish. Sprinkle with cheese. Wala. Dinner is served!
Go check out Land O Lakes® and the rest of their Sauté Express® Sauté Starters and buy them ASAP!!!
