A Gouda Life A food blog for home cooks. Elevate every day eats with ease! One pot, baked, grilled, air fryer - it's all here. Easy to follow recipes for home cooks. And me?

Simple ingredients, delicious results with an emphasis on comfort food. Many go from stove to table in 30 minutes or less. I'm fueled by cheese and wine, run with scissors and talk to strangers. Let's cook!

Every fall I start reaching for my slow cooker (or do you call it a crockpot?) - more and this Pot Roast is one of the first on my list. Maybe it's a Midwest thing, but we do love our Pot Roast around here.

Beef and vegetables cook low and slow until they're all melt in your mouth tender ... and of course there's that gravy - 5⭐ because there's no other way to go.

If you're craving a meal that doesn't break the bank, requires no side dishes (okay, maybe bread or rolls who am I kidding?), this is it.

I'd put this Pot Roast against any other. If you give it a try, let me know what you think.

The only game-day lingo I'm qualified to make: ranch or blue cheese?

Are you Team Ranch, Team Blue Cheese or a purist - naked wings all the way? Leave it in the COMMENTS.

These wings have the crispy skin of fried wings with juicy meat inside but are completely AIR FRIED using only a smidge of oil. In fact, air fryers were practically invented for football season. I said what I said.

The Potato Salad I've been making for 3 decades - with creamy Hellmann's mayonnaise, crispy bacon and yes - smidge of bacon fat. It's the only recipe you need ... because it's THAT good.

Somewhere people are debating beans or no beans in chili. I always - always - put beans in mine and REGRET NOTHING.

The Detroit Lions have kicked off preseason games so it makes me think pots of chili simmering on the stove or slow cooker and of course a few other football foods. You too?

This Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili is one of my favorites: creamy, a little spicy and packed with bites of chicken, white beans and corn.

Of course, I have to have toppings - like these tortilla strips - or Fritos - fresh avocado -- more cheese -- you get the picture. But chili should never be naked - I'm pretty sure there's a law against it.

The Apple Crisp I'd do a crime for. It's that good.

Tender diced cinnamon-sugar apples topped with a buttery sweet cinnamon oat topping baked until golden and bubbly. Let's not live with regret - add a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream and maybe a drizzle of caramel sauce.

You don't have to miss grandma's Apple Crisp, It's here.
