Hi, guys! Its been a while since I posted a recipe and I thought this one would be perfect for this chilly weather. It's a potato soup with a difference; It's hearty, flavorful, and positively loaded!

The potato soup base is chunky and creamy and full of flavor from garlic and chicken broth, chives, sour cream, bacon, and two kinds of cheese, then topped with everything you love about baked potatoes! You can also leave out the bacon for a meatless meal option.

It's also super-easy to make in the Instant Pot, but I'll also give directions for the Slow Cooker for those who haven't gone the pressure cooker route yet. Plus, keep reading for the chance to win a Better Than Bouillon Prize Pack and one of 9 $50 Visa Gift Cards! [CLOSED]

By now you've probably heard of food prepping. It's a method of performing tedious food prep while you have the extra time so you can reap the benefits when you don't. I've done this quite a bit with freezer cooking and it is a godsend. You may have seen those impressive posts where someone completes a week or month's worth of meals in one day and thought it looked like too much trouble, but you don't have to go to the extreme, or even do it regularly. If you know you have a busy week or few days coming up, you can prep a few meals or a lot to help save your sanity.

A lot of us are going to have a Smithfield ham at our holiday table. Instead of buying one just large enough for the meal, I like to get on much bigger than I need. Why? Because leftovers! There are so many ways that I love to use leftover ham from the holidays that it's become something everyone in our house looks forward to. I'll tell you all of the ways I use up every delicious morsel of that leftover ham and even give you my all-time favorite family recipe.

Back to school season is the busiest time of year for my family. Once we pick the kids up from school it's go, go, go. With homework, projects, and after school activities to tend to the last thing I want to do is spend an hour or more in the kitchen cooking dinner, so today I'm teaming up with Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork at Kroger to bring you a delicious fall dish, cooked in the slow cooker, and it only takes 5 minutes of prep time! It's Real Flavor, Real Fast!

This Slow Cooker Molasses, Garlic, & Herb Pork Loin is quick and easy and oh so tender and flavorful. The garlic and herbs infuse the pork with flavor while the molasses mixture gives it a deep, sweet, sticky crust.

Hi, guys! I don't know what the weather is like where you are, but here we're in the throes of full-blown Southern summer heat. I like to avoid heating up my kitchen for long periods, so today I've got a recipe for you to try that is made from start to finish in a slow cooker. It is a Mississippi Pot Roast.

This is one of my family's favorite chilly-weather recipes and it's so easy to prepare. This Crockpot Southwest Chili Recipe takes about 15 minutes to prep, but then you simply throw the ingredients into a crockpot and let it simmer for about 6 hours on its own. That's it! This Southwest-style chili can cook by itself while you work, run errands, or play with the kids.

I recently saw a recipe like this from OAMM that has you cook it overnight in the crockpot, but that's just too much trouble for oatmeal ;), so I adapted it for soaked oats (that sit in your fridge overnight), added in some molasses, and it gets zapped in the microwave in the morning. Easy! I made them for the kids and they're so yummy!
