MEXICAN POTATO CORN CHOWDER EASY CROCK POT RECIPE

by Family Crock Pot Recipes on 01/26/12

This is a different way of making chowder and also for how I normally use my crock pot. Most of the work is done on the stove top and the crock pot brings it all together. This is perfect for group events and is loved by those with hearty appetites.

14 small potatoes, peeled and diced
1 can (17 oz.) cream style corn
1 can (12 oz.) whole kernel corn-do not drain
2 tbl. chicken bouillon powder
1 can (4 oz.) diced green chilies
1 tbl + 1 tsp. butter
1 large onion (brown), diced fine
1 green pepper, diced fine
Seasonings
2 cups medium Cheddar cheese, shredded
1-1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

Cover potatoes with water and boil gently, uncovered until you can pierce them easily with a fork. Add sauteed onion and green pepper. Stir in corns, chilies and seasonings (Lawry's season salt, garlic powder, dash of Worcestershire sauce). Heat until bubbly. Place in large (5-6 qt.) crockpot on high until it bubbles again and then turn to low. Stir in shredded cheese. Simmer on low for at least 1 hour.

Simple ways to make dinner at home a special night

by Family Crock Pot Recipes on 01/23/12


(ARA) - Dining at home has many advantages, from saving money to affording family members more time together. But it's easy for those at-home meals to become routine and boring - unless you take some simple steps to make dinner time a special time for everyone.

Fortunately, making dinner at home more special doesn't need to eat up a lot of time or money. Whether you're serving a feast for the whole family or making a romantic meal for an at-home date night, these simple ideas can help make dining at home feel like a night out.

Make it restaurant style

One of the reasons people love dining out is the chance to eat something they normally wouldn't make at home. Making some of those restaurant favorites in your own kitchen isn't as difficult as you might think. By adding a delicious, easy-to-make dining-out treat to your at-home menu, you can give your meal restaurant quality flair.

One restaurant staple is the bread basket. You can create your own version with take-and-bake options, like New York Brand Garlic Knots. Found in your grocery store's freezer aisle, New York Brand Garlic Knots are hand-tied and contain no trans fat and no high-fructose corn syrup, but pack all the flavor and appeal of this traditional restaurant favorite. What's more, they're ready - from freezer to table - in about five minutes. Make your meal extra special by serving your Garlic Knots with your favorite pasta or homemade pizza with a marinara dipping sauce.

Tune out the outside world

You wouldn't be so rude as to take a cellphone call at the table in a quiet restaurant, so why allow such disruptions during your meal at home? Have everyone turn off their phones, switch off the TV and radio, leave all handheld digital devices in another room, and encourage a dinner conversation that truly focuses on each other.

Wear your "Sunday best"

Even if you wear a suit to work every day, there's still something special about dressing up for an unforgettable meal. If you'd prefer, you can leave the heels, jewelry or cufflinks behind - just skip the jeans and sweatshirts in favor of a skirt or a nice button-down and a pair of slacks.

Cook together

Cooking together increases the amount of quality time you spend with loved ones. Whether it's a date night or just a friendly get-together, involving everyone in meal preparation makes the evening memorable and special. Using easy-to-make and delicious products, such as New York Brand Garlic Knots, will ensure your meal will have that homemade taste that's sure to please.

"Two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA.
