How do you utilize your slow cookers in the summer? I find that I appreciate them even more in the warmer months, and I've discovered how to make some surprising things in my crockpots! :)
I have a mini crockpot I use to reheat all sorts of things, like pre-made pulled pork, or walking taco/chili mix. I actually take the little one camping ALL the time and it works great at an electric site.
Mac-n-cheese, baked spuds, sketti sauce, roasts, soups, whole chicken, so yummy
I am not a mom, I'm a lone bachelorette. I work full time and attend grad school at night, and your shopping lists and recipes are a blessing for that grad-student budget and free time. I've been craving some new slow cooker recipes as the semester approaches, and you came through in the clutch! Thank you Momma Mindy ❤️
Yes! Same! Now I just need to find out if they sell slow cookers in my country... 🙈
Same here! I’ve never heard of them here. Maybe Costco sells slow cookers…
So smart of you to meal plan. It’s so much healthier to eat homemade food and cheaper. Eating well is for everybody!
I honestly didn’t realize you could freeze celery. It’s true that you (or I) learn something every day.
That is definitely true for me! I don't know what I don't know! :)
My son used to call them chicken on a bone when he was small and I still cant bring myself to call them anything different 😂 Thanks for sharing, always enjoy seeing your videos pop up. Boomer Sooner!
My mom taught me to plug in the crockpot on our covered patio rather than in the kitchen, so the small bit of heat from it still stays outside. Genius!
Several people have mentioned that tip, and I've been meaning to try it. I'm just a little worried about critters, though, because we do have them here!
When I lived in Phoenix, I used to run mine in the garage for that reason. The AC is already working hard enough from the triple degree temps!
I use my slow cooker a few times a week, the entire year long. It helps big time during the school year since we homeschool! I love using it during the hotter months, it keeps my kitchen much cooler than using the stove or cooktop. I love using it in the winter for heartier meals like roasts, soups, chili that get better the longer they cook. My crock is my best kitchen friend. And I am unashamed to say: I have 5 large quart + 2 small party crocks.
Hi back to that tiny wave at 15:16 👋
Full disclosure I’ve always had 4 slow cookers. Love them. Potatoes in one, whole acorn squash in another. Protein in another lol.
You are not alone! I am the proud owner of 7 slow cookers - all different sizes, all different brands. I have no excuse except I love using them and for family holiday gatherings they are indispensable. Thank you for the inspirational summer recipes!
Love everything about your channel. Keep up the quality work girlfriend. We appreciate you!
Karen, I appreciate those kind words and encouragement more than you know! Thank you so much!
I have made bread in my crockpot, and I was so happy because it was as good as oven baked bread. I have 4 crockpots, and I am not ashamed to use them all year round. :-)
Smart lady 😊
I'd love the recipe and learn how...
I just found your channel a few weeks ago, and I can't thank you enough. I'm a college student who is really new at budgeting and making consistent meals for myself. The budgeting videos you made have been incredibly helpful to me for understanding how to actually grocery shop. I know how to cook, but I never really learned to do it consistently. I absolutely LOVE cooking in slow cookers. I've got a really small one myself, and I absolutely envy how the slow cookers you have are!
Happy to help! Glad you found some good info here. Sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders, and I'll bet you'll be a "pro" in just a few years in the kitchen. :)
you can always check your local thrift stores for slow cookers.
@@minastirith997 and glass baking dishes! Thrift stores are great for finding this stuff!
I’m a crazy person with multiple crockpots too❤️I even have a “CROCK QUEEN” Christmas ornament ❤️
I'm in the official slow cooker fan club too. 😃 Great recipes! 👩🍳
I loved Bewitched! I haven’t watched it in forever, probably since my son was little. Goodness that brought back some memories! Everything looks delicious Mindy! Thanks for the great new video
Thanks, Kristy! I was just thinking about you yesterday, and hoping you are doing well. :)
@@SeeMindyMom you are so welcome and thank you! I’m doing really well. I finished all the heavy chemo and have a few weeks off before I start the next one which is supposed to be a lot easier to handle. I’m excited to have it getting closer to the end
Strangely enough I marathoned a few hours of Bewitched about a month ago. I forgot how much I loved it and how iconic Elizabeth Montgomery's taste and wardrobe was.
@@yvonnepalmquist8676 where on earth do you get to marathon Bewitched? That is still one of my favorite shows from childhood. I Love Lucy will always be my favorite but Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie are probably my next favorites
@@kristyb5821 Bewitched is currently playing on FreeVee.
You’re not crazy - I have 4 Crockpots - including a size not even made any more (1 quart) I received as a wedding present 40+ years ago (yes, it still works). I also own a large, non- electric stovetop pressure cooker (several years old), which I use often for cooking dry beans. I use them all year round! I have to try your spaghetti sauce with the pasta in the crockpot - have cooked sauce in the crockpot MANY times, but never thought to throw in the pasta (duh). Thanks for all the great ideas, Mindy! 🥰
Your drumstick crockpot came a perfect time…I was like what am I going to do with these drumsticks then I saw your video late last night and was like Yep I’m going to try it today….Thank you soo much for all the great ideas and recipes
I enjoyed this one! I highly encourage you to make a crock pot themed thanksgiving sometime in October or early November! I have always wondered what all I can make in my crockpots, how and what all is worth making in them for thanksgiving. I am excited to try the rolls and the potatoes! Your dinner looked wonderful with the drumsticks. Thank you!
Great idea!
We make a ham in one crockpot, a boneless turkey breast in a second crockpot, and use the instapot for mashed potatoes. That frees the oven for roasted veggies, baking rolls and other sides.
@@candycemonroe7345 I’m excited to try this, this year!
You are not a crazy person. When my momma passed away a few yrs ago, I (as a only child) got all her stuff. I have probably 30 slow cookers and crackpots that where hers. Love your channel ❤ thank you so much
I didn't know that you can make pizza in a crock pot. So cool!!! Thanks for the video ☺️
Thanks so much for your videos! My husband and I just downsized our income when we decided I should stay home with our baby. I am so bad at budgeting and planning. Your videos have been so helpful!
I made the crockpot sausage and rice meal last night. It was a big hit with my family. Thank you for all the great recipes!
I make stews in our crockpot. I put everything in raw, set it to low, and by the time we get back home from work 8 hours later we have stew ready to eat for dinner. I use the plastic crockpot liners to make clean up a breeze, too.
Instead of firing up the oven for the bread and chicken, if you have an air fryer that works well too.
Great tip!
Love my crockpots! When my husband and I combined households 7 years ago, we discovered that we had 4 crockpots. We were gifted three more! Needless to say, we ‘re distributed a few among our adult kids, but we still have 4 (or maybe 5)?
Are you from the South? I'm a Texas gal and you and I seem to speak the same language! I am blown away by every single dish you made! I can't wait to see what you come up with next! Y'all have a great day! 👍
Yep! We’re your neighbors on the other side of the red river, Angela. 😊
Yes Tabitha, totally remember. I mentioned Gilligan to my High school students and they had no idea...they had never seen the show.
I loved Bewitched back in the day! I also love crockpots for summer! So great to keep the kitchen cooler. I have 4 crockpots in different sizes!
Thanks Mindy! Great ideas.
I have 2 slow cookers and use them often. Can’t wait to try these recipes. I grew up watching Bewitched…..😊
OMGsh, I would never have thought that you could cook rice in a slow-cooker in just 25 min!
I also have multiple slow cookers to do different things, they are very handy. I use my slow cookers year around, putting them away in the summer months confuses me, what better way to keep the kitchen cook and be hands off while making a great meal for your family. Some of our favorites are soups, stews, BBQ, seasoned chicken, pot roast (that is made into sandwiches, burritos, or omelets), lazy lasagna, italian sausages with peppers and onion, steel cut oatmeal with apples & cinnamon. I will definitely being trying the mashed potatoes, we live near a potato farm and get the best fresh potatoes, I want to make them in a larger quantity & freeze them for the nights that I am tired or rushed. Love these videos and the ideas that you inspire.
Omgoodness, Mindy❣️. I grew up watching Bewitched, I Dream of Genie, The Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family. Thank you for this little “feel good” moment of nostalgia. Those certainly were the days ❤️
I remember bewitched...my mama used to love that show
I'm making this ranch chicken pasta tonight. Thank you for the link, I've never even considered a dish like this before.
Hello Mindy. I absolutely love using my crockpot too. I use it more than I do anything else in my kitchen. It's became my best friend. I cook so many different chicken dinners in it. I'm always throwing different ingredients in my crockpot to create a new meal. So far they've all been delicious. I hope that Y'all have a wonderful weekend. Love From your Indiana Friend.
Per your suggestion in previous videos, I made corn on the cob in the crockpot the other day, and it turned out SO WELL. It might be my favorite way to make corn on the cob now.
Wow I'm so excited to try the rolls in the slow cooker! I wish I knew this yesterday. I used the last of my rolls and didn't have 3 hours for them to rise on the counter. So I put them in the oven and they were little. I can't believe you can put them in the slow cooker! Can't wait to do this! 😊
I watched a video where a dump cake was made in the slow cooker. Talk about easy!!!
Great video! I love all the ideas and tips.
So many great ideas!
You can bake pretty much every single cake in the slow cooker!!! Just make sure you use a recipe with a dough; bake it in high for an hour initially, and finish it another 45 min in low!! … also put a towel under the lid to avoid condensation 👍🏼❤️
Love these ideas!
Perfect video, thanks!
Oh thanks for sharing your crockpot ideas! We have three crockpots in our home, love using them year round as well!
I love crockpot/slowcooker recipes and yes. I have several as well! Thanks for sharing all the tips and recipes today!
I have to try the rolls...love the crockpot all year round.
Great video, you've got my wheels turning as I plan out meals for next week when my brother and his family are visiting. Thanks! 😀 - Stephanie
Thanks for another great video.
I made spaghetti on the stove top this week and cooked my noodles in the sauce and I swear it was the best spaghetti I've ever made.
Awesome recipes, thanks for sharing 🇺🇸👍👍🤣
I agree... I use my crock pots year round. I have several sizes for different things! ❤️😊
That pizza just blew my mind
Thank you so much for sharing with us. They all look like winners to me.
This is the first video I am seeing of your channel ! I am loving it so far and can’t wait to binge watch your video ! ❤️
Wow Mindy what a lot of great ideas! I have one round slow cooker and now I want more…especially casserole size!
Thank you for sharing
I needed this so much today! I did not want to turn on my oven in 100F heat this weekend - thank you!
I absolutely love crockpot meals. I work 12 hours daily.
I needed this. Thanks
I truly love your videos 🥰you give me sanity with all these ideas especially when making dinner in the summer months and busy life. Would you please make a video with recipes on using a regular instapot on slow cooker settings? Still learning tons here! Much love from New Hampshire😁👋
I live in the South…South California haha and we call them Crockpots here too…I’ve never heard anybody say slow cooker except on UA-cam… 🤷🏻♀️
A friend said her husband was complaining about the smell of the food cooking and I mentioned I might try it out on the back patio…keep an eye out for ants…and she said it’s working great. My own husband, passed away nine years ago, was thrilled to smell anything happening in the kitchen. 🥰
I’m anxious to try the rolls, never thought of that! Awesome job with the pizza too!!!
For the hubby who complains ab smells...how about the wife doesnt do ANY cooking for a looong time?.....🤔
Yum yum yum ! Everything looks so delicious ! You are a genius Mindy ! Yes I loved Bewitched ! It was one of my favorite shows !!!!
Great video! I didn’t know you could cook pizza or rolls in the crockpot!
I love crockpots!!! Super easy and not as hot as an oven!! Us southerners need all the help we can get during summer!! 🥵
So true!
First time watching your Videos, these are So Amazing 😊
thanks!!!
I love Bewitched! I'm going to try that ranch chicken spaghetti in my crockpot. It sounds delicious 🙂
I do bread from scratch in the slow cooker and it turns out great!
Chicago style. Sauce on top. Looks amazing.
Good video! I'm getting my crock pot back out!
Video idea (not that you need inspiration)... but I would love to see an video on which items are still worth buying despite the increasing prices and which you are swapping for other food alternatives. For example, eggs have gone up, but they still seem like one of the cheaper protein staples for my house. Are you still buying eggs or is "breakfast for dinner" no longer a cheap meal? 🤔
Noted! I have something like that in the idea queue for next month, where I revisit an old "favorites" video and talk about this very thing.
@@SeeMindyMom oh that sounds perfect! And honest I watch everything you post. I've been binge watching your old videos since I subscribed
I sometimes use egg substitutes for baking and save the eggs for hard boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, any directly eaten egg preparation.
My favorite egg substitute is chickpea liquid from the can. About 3 tbs = 1 egg. I freeze in ice cube trays and it seems to work thawed. I buy chickpeas regularly so I use the liquid instead of throwing it out.
Chickpea liquid works well in chocolate chip cookies. I’ve used it successfully as a binder in meatloaf. I wouldn’t be afraid to try it in any baking recipe. I’m always trying new recipes though, and my husband is afraid to try egg substitutes in new recipes. He insists on using eggs whenever trying something for the first time. 😂
I agree ammmaaaZING!! Trying thd pizza soon.
Freezing celery!! I don't know why I have never done that.
I really want to try making those chicken legs and the pizza. Thank you so much Mindy!😊💛
Just when I thought all the food looked beige and damp .... BOOM!
My mind is blown! I knew about making cakes and cobblers. I've seen slow cooker for warming mashed potatoes, never making them. And the bread/pizza crust! Wow, thank you
🤯 mind blown Mindy!! This video is so helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I love videos I don’t own a slow cooker I own 3 instapot s 3 6 8 and they do have a slow botton I’ve made some of you just showed and man it’s so easy I have yet to turn I’m stove or oven I have to cosori air fryers to that’s all use at my age 65 I really don’t feel like heating my house so this is so great love this video can’t wait use your ideas bless you so much for all your help your awsome
Love your video, thank you!!
Thanks for watching!
Great meal ideas! That pizza reminds me of Savastanos!
I think the rolls were my favorite new idea, pizza 2nd. Great ideas all around ♡
Love how the pizza turned out . Looks yum 🤤
This video came at the perfect time! Thanks!
So glad I could help! :)
First time seeing any of your videos. Did enjoy. Hopefully I can implement them. I also believe that both slowcooker/crookpot and air- Friers are the to-go-to not to heat-up our homes in the hot months.
You were recommended by Momey Mom, she also enjoyed her slow cooker/crookpot.
I am a new viewer ! I love your content especially w inflation taking over!! Thank you
So many good ideas! I say drumstick, not chicken legs and crock pot not slow cooker. I used to watch bewitched as a kid so I did know what you were talking about. Thanks for sharing, I appreciate your channel it is one of my favorites. I hope you have a great week.
Thank you so much, Barbara! Have a great week!
Your channel popped up and I love what you do, so new subbie here! Btw, I love the ball cap you were wearing … I live in Oklahoma:)
Chicago style pizza has the sauce on top like made at end of this video. Looked good!
I have more then 1 crockpot and I use them all the time . That pizza looks great I'll have to try that one.
Drumbsticks...100% I absolutely love Bewitched.
I will most definitely try the rolls. I've never noticed those kind in the freezer section. I learn most my new finds from UA-cam. Lol
I make creamy ranch chicken with potatoes and carrots and serve with salad and rolls, like a roast! Now I need to try it with pasta. YUMM!
Would love to see some air fryer recipes too
I had no idea you could make mashed potatoes or rolls in the slow cooker! Thank you!
I bought an aura after watching you use yours. It has become a staple in my kitchen! I love the aura so much! Especially in the summer I’m not heating up my house by using the stove because the aura is so versatile. Thanks for all your content!!!!
Wonderful! I'm so glad y ou like it! I'm using mine a lot, too. The rice cooker and the saute function are game changers.
Loved this vid! Among the many hints, I didn’t realize my bread maker would also make pizza dough!! What a bonus you gave me. I had put away my bread maker and almost got rid of it, but it’s right now making dough for us for a pizza lunch today. Thanks, Mindy!!
Oh, I'm so glad! Yes, I keep mine around just for the dough cycle!
you can also make jam in your bread maker.
@@minastirith997 Really? How would you do that? I'm interested.
I love my bread machine. I made honey bread today a couple days ago made French bread. Which makes 4 when done. I make sanwhich out of one pizza out one. I make our sweet bread with everything in it. Love my machine.
Oh my word, that pizza looked amazing 🤩
I get so hungry watching your videos! Love your channel, new subscriber
Glad you found me! Welcome! :)
Mindy and family have a great day have fun thanks from Oklahoma
Thank you! You too!
A fantastic video once again. Your presentations are always awesome with everything flowing well and so professional. You keep the interest alive. So many fantastic Ideas. I've learned a great deal again. Thank you! Such cute kids too.
God bless all here.
Thank you so much! I have a really talented editor who helps me with some of those details. 😊
Girl! I have 5 crockpots!!❤️😂❤️6 if you count my instant pot.
