Here’s a little throwback with some easy slow cooker recipes for Memorial Day weekend, plus one of our all time favs! And don’t forget to follow along on Facebook and Instagram where I’ve started posting new little bites here and there while I rev up to full blogger mode! And if you’re bringing something to a potluck you don’t want to come home to a huge mess to clean up. Plus my all time favorite no-bake dessert, which isn’t made in the slow cooker, but will keep your house nice and cool and be a quick an easy crowd pleaser.

This recipe was perfect for me because I cooked the salmon and quinoa and mixed the sauce during nap time and let them cool and marinate before throwing everything together and baking them before dinner. While salmon cooks, combine 1 cup greek yogurt, avocado, cilantro, juice of 1 lime, 1 t black pepper, 1 t garlic salt, ½ t chile powder (less for less heat) and 1 t cumin in a bowl. Combine flaked salmon with cooked, cooled quinoa, bell pepper, onion, garlic, 2 t cumin, 1 t chile powder (less for less heat), 1 cup greek yogurt and eggs in a large bowl. Let sit for 5-10 minutes and serve hot, topped with avocado cilantro sauce, chopped avocado, cilantro, chopped onion, and/or pico de gallo

there’s been a lot of sewing and web work and business card designing and all of the things that go along with launching this sweet little business of mine. So a lot of all of that and not a lot of photography, editing, writing, and general blog-y-ness. Once Hubby got home, all I had to do was toast up some fun little slider buns {you could use big ones, but life is so much more fun in slider size sometimes…and the kids feel like it’s the right size for them too}, scoop and enjoy. Trader Joe's} Put everything except for the slider buns in the slow cooker Cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-6 hours Use a slotted spoon to scoop slow cooker mixture onto toasted buns.

It’s nice to lounge in your pj’s and read books for a little while As much as I’d love to just hand her a bag of goldfish crackers and call it a day, I just can’t. Because I don’t even want to know what kind of grossness starts growing when my kid leaves the bag unzipped with half an unpeeled banana inside on a hot day {true story}. Oh, and it’s simple, black and the toddler has decided it’s basically her purse full of goodies that she can carry around with her.
