Some dinners ask almost nothing of you and give back a table full of happy people, and Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Chicken is exactly that kind of recipe. A pile of boneless, skinless chicken goes into the slow cooker with a homemade barbecue sauce you whisk together in minutes — ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider…
There are soups that feel like a blanket you can eat, and Slow Cooker Creamy Potato Soup is exactly that kind of bowl. Tender cubes of potato simmer slowly with onion, celery, and garlic in savory chicken broth until everything softens and the broth takes on the sweet, earthy flavor of the vegetables. Then the…
There are soups that politely warm you up, and then there is Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup — bold, brothy, and full of the kind of flavor that makes everyone drift toward the kitchen before dinner is even announced. Tender shredded chicken, fire-roasted tomatoes, black beans, and sweet corn simmer slowly together with chili powder,…
Some sauces are worth waiting for, and Slow Cooker Beef Ragu is one of them. Chunks of beef chuck, seared until deeply browned, settle into crushed tomatoes with onion, carrots, celery, and garlic, and then the slow cooker takes over for hours.

Potatoes, carrots, cranberries, frozen vegetables, pasta, and bread are some…
A Valentine’s dinner at home has one great advantage over any restaurant: nobody is waiting for your table, nobody is hovering with the check, and the two of you can linger over the last bite for as long as you like. The only real challenge is choosing what to cook — something that feels special…
Some dinners look like they took all evening and quietly come together in about half an hour. Creamy Tuscan Shrimp Pasta is exactly that kind of dinner. Tender penne or fettuccine is folded through a warm garlic cream sauce, sweet sun-dried tomatoes bring a deep, concentrated tomato flavor, baby spinach wilts into soft green ribbons,…
Some dinners earn their reputation the moment the sauce hits the pan. Marry Me Chicken is one of them: golden, well-seasoned chicken breasts simmered in a creamy, garlicky sauce studded with sun-dried tomatoes, finished with parmesan and fresh basil. The sauce is rich without being heavy, a little tangy from the tomatoes, a little warm…
