If you have been around here long, you know that I have MAD love for Gooseberry Patch. I have always loved their cookbook collections and so when they sent me a few copies of  Mom Knows Best, I couldn’t wait to dig in and get to cooking. (Psst… scroll down to the bottom to enter to win a copy).

Right away, I knew the book was speaking my language when none of the recipes hit on two things I absolutely love as busy mom… Crock pot cooking AND freezer cooking!

Homemade Frozen Meatballs - Perfect to add to your spaghetti or throw in your crock pot for a great appetizer. Great alternative for those that don't like store bought frozen meatballs.

 

 

These Homemade Frozen Meatballs are the perfect solution for me. My freezer is stocked with great meatballs to whip up with some spaghetti or use as finger foods at my next get-together. Easy time-saving recipes are always appreciated in this house!

Crock Pot Creamy Italian Chicken- Easy crock pot meal that everyone loves.

When a book includes no-fuss recipes like Creamy Italian Chicken, I know it is my kind of book. Simple and delicious. And, something the family will eat.

Crock Pot Chicken Ranch Nachos: Our FAVORITE recipe! Incredible flavor and so easy to make!

 

Last night my husband said that these Crock Pot Chicken Ranch Nachos were by far–of all the time I have been blogging– his favorite recipe I have made to date.  The were totally inspired by the combination of two recipes in Mom Knows Best — the nachos in the book and the recipe below. Oh and P.S. if you have never tried Ranch Dressing with Taco Sauce, you are missing out!

Crock Pot Chicken Fiesta and Beans

Crock Pot Fiesta Chicken and Beans: Great one pot dish! Perfect on its own, over rice or on a tortilla.

Crock Pot Chicken Fiesta and Beans is totally a favorite in this house and on our repeat menu!

Homemade Crock Pot Meatballs - Simple and delicious homemade meatball recipe that everyone will enjoy!

 

Aunt Lou tried her hand at Homemade Crock Pot Meatballs from the book and just loved the results.

Crock Pot Pizza Burgers

Crock Pot Pizza Burgers : These are so good! Everyone loves them with their favorite pizza toppings and they are SO easy to make!

These Crock Pot Pizza Burgers are a great example of the tricks this book has up its sleeve. I thought we had made pizza every way possible and then comes this brilliant idea to make it into a loose meat sandwich for the slow cooker. Such a fantastic idea.

Shredded Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Shredded-Buffalo-Chicken1

Shredded Buffalo Chicken Sliders are another great idea that makes the prep of food for the family or for a crowd and absolute cinch with the help of Mom Knows Best Cookbook.

I guess if I had to pick just one it would be Linda’s cinnamon buns. Finding something for breakfast around here is always a struggle. We get tired of eggs pretty quickly, so the cinnamon buns would be a wonderful change.
