Sandra is joined by her niece Stephanie to help prepare some kid friendly finger foods. With Fish & Chips and Chicken Fingers, Semi-Homemade Chocolate Covered Pretzels, Ice Cream Blizzards, and her semi-homemade secret Animal Cracker recipe!
Today Sandra is kicking back and taking it slow...and so is her menu! Whether it’s simmering in a slow cooker or baking in an oven, these recipes show how tender and juicy food can be when slowly cooked. The menu starts with a steamy and cheesy French Onion Soup. Then it’s a savory Chicken and Turkey Pot Pie with Pepper Biscuit Topping. For dessert, Sandra gets adventurous with her Apple Cinnamon Bread Pudding with Ginger Sauce. You won’t believe how simple it is! Then it’s cocktail time, made in a slow cooker, it’s Hot Spiced Sangria.
Sandra loves her slow cooker and the way it makes meals tender and juicy. But she also loves quick and simple recipes. So today the menu is a mixture of both fast and slow cooked food. First up, a favorite, Sandra's Pork Roast, which cooks low and slow with some unexpected ingredients. Next, a Cheesy Cauliflower Gratin that cooks under the broiler in no time at all. And for dessert, a Cherry Crumble, done in the slow cooker. Then it's cocktail time! Sandra's Cafe Roma Martini is delicious and you can put it together in a snap.
Sandra has got a slow cooked Italian menu you will love. With recipes for Wild Mushroom Dip, Bow Ties Pasta with Artichoke Pesto, Chicken with Vegetable Ragout and Polenta, Grape and Ricotta Crostata and a Venetian Coffee.
