4 Slow Cooker Dinners for Trick-or-Treat Night
|
Hi friends! 👋 Is it just me, or did the cold sneak up on us this week? I had to dig out my warm socks and a sweatshirt, and I’m not mad about it at all. Today we finally picked out our pumpkins! Now they’re lined up on the porch, waiting for us to decide who’s carving what. With Halloween coming up next Saturday, I’ve been thinking about dinner. That night always feels like a race. Costumes, makeup, a missing shoe, and somebody who suddenly has to go to the bathroom right as we’re walking out the door. Sound familiar? That’s why I rely on my slow cooker. Toss it all in earlier in the day, and dinner is ready when you are. Here’s what I’d make: 🍔 Slow Cooker Cowboy Sloppy Joes 🥪 Slow Cooker Maid-Rites 🌮 Slow Cooker Taco Soup 🌽 Slow Cooker Chicken Corn Chowder Before I go, I just want to say thank you. Really. Thank you for opening these emails, trying my recipes, and sticking with me week after week. Whether you’ve been here for years or you just found me, I’m so glad you’re here. It means more than you know. Now I want to hear from you! What does Halloween night dinner look like at your house? Do you have a tradition, or do you just grab whatever you can on the way out the door? Hit reply and tell me. I read every single one! Warmly, ❤️ Heidi (aka Lulu) |

Hi friends! I had the day off yesterday for Veterans Day, and it gave me some time to slow down and think about my grandma. She was a veteran of World War II, and she’s also the reason this blog exists. Her cookbook is what gave me the idea to start Real Life of Lulu in the first place! So to every veteran reading this, and to your families too, thank you. We are so grateful for you. Here’s what’s new this week: 🍞 Old-Fashioned Date Nut Bread Remember the date nut bread that showed up wrapped...
Hi friends! 👋 I’m so tired this morning. Last night I helped out in the green room at my daughter’s show, and wow. Costume changes, bobby pins everywhere, and a whole lot of nervous energy packed into one small room. It was chaotic and loud, and I loved every minute of it. Watching her up on that stage made it all worth it! But my feet are still recovering, so today is a coffee and pajamas kind of Sunday. It’s also a menu planning kind of Sunday. Can you believe Thanksgiving is less than...
Hi friends! It’s been a busy week at our house! My daughter has rehearsals all week for her musical, so our whole family is running on a musical theater schedule right now. I love seeing how hard she’s working, and I can’t wait to see it all come together on stage! Here’s what’s new this week: 🍎 Waldorf Salad: I found this one in my grandma’s 1940s cookbook, and I love how simple it is. It has just 5 ingredients, takes about 10 minutes, and would be perfect on your Thanksgiving table. And no,...
