Labels

I'm guessing many of you already have the hang of labels. For those who don't ...

Next time you're typing in your yummy and wonderful new recipe, decide what category/ies you think it should fall under. Under the lovely little box you type your post in there's a small field for labels. Simply type your category/ies here and you're good.

Example: I put on a recipe for crockpot chicken. I labeled it "crockpot" AND "chicken." That way when Sarah (or anyone else) is looking for a crockpot recipe to cook while she's at work, she can just go to the labels section, click on crockpot and all the different recipes labeled crockpot will come up for her to choose from. Likewise, if I have some chicken in my freezer and want a new way to cook it up, I'll go to chicken and viola.

Tip: If you're not sure what to label it under, click on "Show all" next to the labels field and see the list of other labels people have used. Feel free to start whatever you categories you want. But keep in mind that if I use "chicken" as my label and you use "chicken dinner" it will be under different sections. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but keep it in mind.

P.S. Feel free to go back to your previous posts and edit them, adding the label. We'll have a big catalog in no time.

Taco Soup

This is pretty similar to the other taco soup post.

2 Lbs. Ground Beef
1 C. Chopped Onion
(Cook together and drain grease.)

2 C. Water
28 Oz. Diced Tomatos (not drained)
27 Oz. Kidney Beans (not drained)
15 Oz. Tomato Sauce
1 Pkg. Taco Seasoning Mix
46 Oz. V-8 Juice
1 Can Corn (optional)
1 Can Red Beans (optional, not drained)

Combine all ingredients into a crockpot and cook on low all day.

Toppings:

Sour Cream, Frito's, Grated Cheese, Lettuce, Sliced Olives.

Zucchini Soup

2 lb. Zucchini
2 C. Chicken Broth
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
3/4 C. Chopped Onion
Salt to taste
3 Tbsp. Flour
3 C. Milk
1 Sq. Butter
2 C. Velvetta Cheese (cubed)

Wash zucchini, cut of ends and grate coarsely. Melt butter in sauce pan. Add onions and saute until transparent. Blend in flour and broth, bring to a boil. Add grated zucchini and stir while adding milk. Add worcestershire sauce. Stir continuously until hot. Add cheese while stirring. Garnish with parsley.

Also, you can substitute broccoli for zucchini. This is the Thanksgiving favorite for our family. Enjoy!

Crockpot recipes

Okay, people, we're slacking a little bit. We need to have some more regular posting. If everyone does one post a month, that's one new recipe a day (on average). Doesn't need to be fancy - just something that we can all use to feed our families. Even if it's a recipe you think everyone must already have ... don't be afraid to post it. I've tried a fair amount of these posted recipes and I've been happy with the outcomes. I still could use some ideas though Ü

On that note, I need some more crockpot recipes. Anyone have any good ones? Or some soup recipes, like Jade requested. Or soup in a crockpot ... just something that I can start before I go to work and come home to. Working 2 jobs is taking so much time ... I need something that will cook itself for me Ü

Jade also had a really good idea for how to better keep things organized - by using labels (noitce them on top right hand corner). She's going to post the instructions on how to make it work. It's a good idea - then we can all search by category.
