EASY SLOW COOKER RECIPES | THROW & GO CROCKPOT MEALS JUNE 2021 | FRUGAL FIT MOM

[@marysimpson8457]

I am right there with you on calling items by their brand name rather than the actual product. Kleenex= tissue.....Band-aid= bandages...Ziploc=food storage bags.....Tupperware= any plastic containers....Pyrex= any glass baking dish...Popsicle= frozen treat....Velvetta= processed cheese.....Windex=glass cleaner...and the list goes on and on

[@robinobrian4842]

For me Coke means any soda or pop.

[@pacluv]

Or kool-aid = drink mix

[@missfitz5892]

In Ireland we do the hoovering not vacuuming

[@mamasaidno1749]

I'm in Texas, and I also Hoover instead of vacuum.

[@kathyrais574]

Never heard that one, I usually just saw sweep wven though it really isn't I guess, that would be with a broom

[@baalambsbaa]

Yeah I’m in the uk I have a Dyson but I never vacuum I always hoover

[@zoewilkins2896]

@@baalambsbaa Yeah, another Brit - we definitely all Hoover with our Dysons here 😀 And we nearly all use biros and not ballpoints to write with.

It's a crockpot, a Kleenex etc. Love using a crockpot, especially in the summer!

[@kazanapepper4146]

I've always called it a Crockpot probably always will. All the meals looked fabulous.

[@SamizzleWren]

welp- i just learned i called the slow cooker a crock pot all my life and didn't know it was just the brand LOL thank you!

[@tammymilner814]

Just like nesco roasters. Ah, it's all right...we know what we mean.

[@morganvillas6436]

I have been doing the same.

[@karlabarragan1386]

Me too! 😳

[@kathrynwitte3398]

Brits call vacuuming “Hoovering”… Germans call power washing by the brand name of the power washer, which is a national obsession.

[@LifeinNewHampshire]

I like the "welp", I say that too

[@mrswhite645]

Thank you for posting about Porter Road. I had pork chops from them on Friday night and wow! They were so flavorful, tender, hard to dry out. The first thing my 8 yr old said the next morning (after good morning) was "Do we have any more pork chops?" Their meat is not the cheapest but, it is the best I've had in a home cooking environment.

[@chastity1534]

I own a Ninja Foodi and it does everything. So I ask my son or Husband to get the Ninja out of the cabinet. The like I use to get priceless.

No, it is not just you. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who makes the chicken sing and dance

[@amandawilliams5219]

Crock pot, Kleenex, Bandaid, Frigidaire and Coke. Yes! (I'm southern) 😂🤷‍♀️

[@FrugalFitMom]

LOL, YES! Every soda is called a coke!

[@caseyleger3551]

Actual conversation in the south: p1:Grab me a coke P2: ok what kind? P1: a Mountain dew

[@KindLovelyLife]

I'm thinking of Steel Magnolias: "WHAT is this in my Frigidaire?" 😂

@@caseyleger3551 ABSOLUTELY! I can't tell you how many times I've had that conversation!

Multiple occasions I've ordered 'coke' at a restaurant and they brought me a coke instead of a dr pepper lol!

The seasoning blend is what my husband calls his “spice melange” minus the brown sugar! We coat any and all chicken with it.

[@crystal3087]

Have always called it a Crock Pot. You just taught me the difference between a Crock Pot and slow cooker!

[@danieljones5217]

Everyone always talks about dad jokes but not enough people talk about mom jokes.

[@fandhtwoohs8129]

Because dad jokes are bad jokes, but mom jokes are bomb jokes.

[@andreajohnston7479]

OK when they came out with the slow cooker the only brand was crock pot so everything after is a crock pot!! Have a great day today

[@robynw6307]

Same with biro. Biro is/was a brand but everyone calls pens biros now.

[@ErdbeereRot]

Christine, I have bought my first small crockpot yesterday. You have inspired me.

[@adriennefein2284]

I’ve found you on KZbin & your recipes as well as your descriptions of the cooking really looks so much easier. The only thing that I really make in a crockpot is beef stew. I’m 59 years old I don’t make it like my mom did. But everyone loves it. I’m making some of your Wonderful recipes for my family this weekend. Thank you so much for everything hon and I’m gonna keep watching you

Eating chorizo with just onions, tomatoes, and jalapeños in warm corn tortillas is a favorite childhood meal for us! 😁🌶

[@lizacisneros9663]

Sounds yummy

[@randijohnson3806]

Perfect timing! I just flipped this on to have something going while I meal plan! Our house gets hot easy, so crock pot and IP are awesome in the heat of the summer.

[@kristinatidwell6563]

Randi Johnson Or you could cook the meat overnight in the oven set on 250* and it will smell delicious when you wake up in the morning! I say this bc the power companies raise the amounts they up the charge 3x thru the daytime. I've also been washing clothes and dishes in the DW after 9pm because that's when the power rates go back down to a third of what the daily rates are charged. Idk if you saw that I posted I had 3 kids but a surprise phone call from CPS where a niece and nephew needed a place to live? Wow. I was a busy Mom for about 10 years but now the kids have grown up and stolen my cookbooks! Lol! I'm now an empty nester. I've been looking for sales on new cookbooks and I gave the kids my old crock pots. I just have a 3QT now bc it's just me. :)

[@LisaofHopewell]

These have to be the best-looking/sounding things you've made in a crock pot! I'd LOVE to find Chorizo we could eat! All of it here is doused in red food coloring and makes us ill--the one you show looks like it does not have food coloring. It all looks SOOOOOOOOOOO good.

[@marzity]

It's called a proprietary eponym or a generic trademark :) In the country where I am from the most common one is probably Pampers (for a diaper) and it was Xerox (for a copying machine/place), and yes, I'm that old :D

[@marywatkins6798]

Years ago when I worked in newspapers, we would occasionally get letters from the Frisbee company, asking to stop using that term and use "flying disc" instead.

Christine has 4 teens and 2 adults plus or minus her brother or Mom, whoever shows up at dinner time. I know that I've always felt like I couldn't put enough food on the table bc my kids just scarfed it down! I was lucky to have lunch for the next day as leftovers. Omg. Kids can EAT!

[@karmagirl314]

Thyme is ah-may-zing in that tik tok feta pasta recipe. It makes it taste so much more complex and sophisticated than basil does.

[@JB-vd8bi]

Add oregano too

[@HeatherLynseyMusic]

I knew we were really internet soul mates when you said Ogres have layers 🤣🤣

[@lynnkavanagh7361]

Christine, here's my take on the name of the crock pot or slow cooker. Perhaps we should call it a Crock Cooker, or a Slow Pot!! Lol! Seriously, I have been married for 47 years & raised 3 kids so I've gone through a lot of crock pots. One recipe my family loved was BBQ hotdogs, which is a recipe of my moms. The hot dogs get sliced in to rounds & then get sauteed in butter. Then the sauce gets made, with sauteed onion & other savory ingredients. My mom didn't like sharing her recipes, so if this went on the world wide web I would definitely get haunted the rest of my days, LOL!! BTW after the sauce is made the hot dog bites go in The sauce & summer for a couple of hours. My son's school had a non sweet party for Valentine's Day, so they asked me to make those. Once I made them, there was no going back, I had to make them every Valentine's after that! I sure could have used one of those crock pots with the clamps on each end! All Of your recipes looked great, especially the breakfast. My family loves breakfast for dinner! Great video!!

3 night ago i got 6 bunches of asparagus and 5 huge heads of broccoli. Just steamed broccoli and put butter and hot salsa on YUM so healthy and eating for free ! Hello I'm on..

[@kathyrais574]

Always call it a Crockpot, always Kleenex. My Memaw always called her refrigerator "the Frigidaire" because they were 1st to produce acself contained unit, sometimes in her honor I will call mine the Frigidaire even though it is a Whirlpool. My new one is basememt is a Fridgidaire. She also always called her couch the Davenport, never knew why but found out recently they were an early sofa manufacturer

[@kathimorrical9912]

I was confused as a child. We had 'Frigadaire' stoves and 'Hotpoint' refrigerators.

[@ashleyashleyashleyyyy]

Interesting, I always wondered about the "davenport" thing..

[@kristinatidwell6563]

I've researched getting a new freezer and Maytag is one of the best but when i went to their website? Out of 52 items 50% were out of stock so didn't look at the last few pages. Idk when we will return to normal? When does supply & demand come back to normal? Idk if it ever will after the covid shutdown. This is getting crazy!

[@kathyrais574]

@@kristinatidwell6563 I kniw what you mean, since Covid started we have had washer, dishwasher, stove & refrigerator problems. Luckily my husband is electrical engineer so he can usually troubleshoot & fix stuff. We had to order parts for dishwasher & stove which he fixed. Washer wouldn't start after filling up w/water! And of course it was heavy towels so had to wring out best I could , they took like 3 hrs to dry. Whatever issue was, he rewired around it so but worked , then we had to order part for it. Refrigerator totally went out, it was compressor so not worth fixing so we went to local appliance store, we live in country so we try to support local, it was extra 1 we keeo in basement for overflow stuff, oj, milk, butter, bread etc so we didn't want to pay $1000 for 1 for basement but like you said not much stock. It seems some stuff like at grocery store that I couldn't find is now showing back up so hoping that is a good sign thst things getting better. We do need to replace dishwasher, washer & dryer too, all gettin old so hoping stores will have more selection. Sorry prob TMI & too long, just frustrated everything kept breakin in middle of Pandemic!

[@loriweaver5776]

Thyme is the best! I bought a lemon Thyme plant today for my herb garden, which smells AMAZING. I can't wait to try it on chicken. Thanks for more great recipes. I can't wait to try them. They all look yummy.

[@kristinatidwell6563]

You may need to get a 2nd one just to keep up with your family. I had 3 kids but surpised with a niece and nephew who needed a place to live. I put alot of food on the table every night for dinner and my Mom couldn't believe how fast the kids ate it! I might have 1 serving leftover which became lunch the next day that i went to work as PT housekeeping service. I tried to balance work hours with getting the kids to Dr or other appointments. It was a busy life, now they're grown up and moved out, now I'm an empty nester.

[@aerona85n8]

Technically a slow cooker has heat source on the bottom only, while crock pots have heat on the sides too. Depending on what you are cooking it may or may not matter…most recipes are written for crock pots these days (instant pot ones excluded…instant pots function is a slow cooker). I tend to call them all crock pots though!

[@lydiahernandez2268]

Always call it crockpot. You have inspire me to cook more at home. Thank you for sharing with us❤

[@FaithFoodandFamily]

Love crockpot meals! Thanks for sharing!

[@meltaz2284]

Hi. I have a video idea for you. As much of the country is going through record heat we need meals that don't use an oven or even cold meals. My A/C already has a hard time keeping up. The Crock-Pot meals definitely help!

[@kristinatidwell6563]

To save on your energy bills? Cook them overnight when your bills is charged at a third of the daytime rates. 9pm to 7am when i looked at the rates that were charged at my power company PEC was a co-op so i tried to cook 24# turkeys or (2) roasts or maybe even 2 chickens overnight to make sure that the kids knew they would have dinner that night when they got home from school or little league. Especially if I had to work that day? I didn't want the kids to think that I expected them to go without food. I always told them that they had lunch meat or peanut butter and jam to make sandwiches after school but they routinely ate dinner instead. So then what? I told them we couldnt have 2 dinners every night! I was already paying for (5) breakfasts and lunches at the school not counting the food they still ate at the house? They were always eating a ton of food! My niece gained 90# in 1 year i had to put a lock on the pantry, fridge and freezer to stop her getting up during the night to eat whatever she could grab... unbelievable.

[@kristinatidwell6563]

Joei Shaffer I just googled it and Walmart, Target, Kroger (*and Murfee's Cheese in DfW) is listed as having Radiatore pasta in stock for in store shopping. I've got discount tags on my key chain for all except the last store which idk that one, myself. I hope that you can are able to locate the pasta.

To me, a crockpot is a crockpot regardless of the brand. Just like in the South, a coke is a coke regardless of the flavor.
