A rice pudding with cinnamon, caraway, fennel and aniseed. It is garnished with coconut powder and nuts. It is traditionally served to announce the arrival of a newborn. The spices give it its brownish color.

My winter guest asked for chili. He lives on canned chili during the warm months so I thought a homemade version would be a nice change.

Takes 2 hours in crock pot, 5 minute prep. Note, i have doubled my recipe in the pictires, i also like to add a little butter for a little extra flavor.

High in protein, low in calories, and delicious! The perfect cold weather food!

I usually put this in crockpot around 6-9 am before I leave for work. Let cook till about 5:30pm. The longer you cook the more tender the meat gets.

It has the best flavor-EVER! I just love it.

A favorite dish from our family that is always cooked especially during special occasions. 4 hours of slow cooked you can feel the softness and tenderness of the chicken.

I first learned to cook mac n cheese in the crock pot about 20 years ago and it quickly became my favorite. Over the years I've enhanced the recipe given to me by a co-worker to get this recipe myself, just the way my family loves it.

It will warm you up on a rainy day!

Developed this recipe for the family, slightly sweet, mild spice, can easily be made hotter by adding in some diced chilies or a diced jalapeño. Just throw it in the pot and forget about it! Good great with the cornbread recipe

Awesome cold weather recipe....great on game day....start in the morning then no need to miss the game to make dinner :ohyeaah

Add celery or chopped green peppers to this recipe if you like these items in your chili. I would suggest sauteing them before adding. Instead of brown sugar, substitute about a quarter cup to a half cup very finely shredded carrots.
