Fall is here and it’s time to break out those slow cookers y’all! I honestly always forget how much I love my slow cooker until I use it and realize just how easy it makes weeknight dinners. I know Instant Pots are all the rage, but I just can’t stop using my slow cooker. There is something about the smell of cozy food cooking all day long and filling the house with delicious smells that just makes me so happy. One of the recipes I make the most in my slow cookers is a classic pot roast. This is a meal that my mom made me growing up and it happens to be one of my husband’s favorite fall meals! My Easy Slow Cooker Pork Roast is full of flavor, easy to make, and you can make multiple meals out of it for the whole week.
The weather has turned only slightly here, but there has been a new crisp evening air that has me craving all things comforting for dinner. Something somewhat healthy, that is warm and full of flavor is usually what I try to make! Soups are so good for just that because you can make them ahead and eat on them all week for easy dinners and for the most part you can control the ingredients keeping them as healthy as you and your family want them! My easy white bean, smoked sausage, and kale soup is just the kind of meal that I crave on a weekly basis!
There's a tiny (and I do mean tiny) feeling of fall in the air here in Texas, and it has me way too excited about all things cozy and fall like. With the drop in humidity and temperatures, came my desire to cook comfort food and turn my stove back on over the weekend. I am not going to lie, I am already plotting Thanksgiving and Christmas menus, decorations, and more. I know I need to have this baby first...that's what you are thinking...but honestly I think his arrival is making my excitement even more so. Regardless, my whole wheat butternut squash and pesto lasagna is the perfect transition meal right into fall!
Butternut squash and pesto is an epic combination.
