Kitchen Hack: The Easiest Way to Slice Cherry Tomatoes

Kitchen Hack: The Easiest Way to Slice Cherry Tomatoes

Kitchen tips like this one help to keep things simple in my kitchen. Whether it is slicing cherry tomatoes, grapes, olives or cherries this easy kitchen hack is going to save you a lot of prep time in your kitchen.

Fresh tomatoes are one of the most used ingredients in my recipes. They are so simple and fresh and create an amazing flavor in every dish I add them too. I love Roma tomatoes in the summer, but the rest of the year I lean toward cherry or grape tomatoes because they have the most flavor.  After a few years of cutting them one by one I started just using them whole because it is such a tedious job and who has that kind of time? AmIRight?

That is when I heard about this fabulous kitchen shortcut. Since then I have been using it to cut pitted olives, pitted cherries, grapes and just about anything thing round-ish and small that I normally struggle with. Now, I know some of y'all have seen it, there are others that haven't and trust me when I say this kitchen hack is a must for a simple kitchen!

I learned a long time ago that my bread knife only has 2 purposes in life. One, of course, is bread. The other is tomatoes. I have to tell you I have never been so frustrated as when I was trying to cut tomatoes in half and ending up with squished tomatoes.

Use the bread knife. It is like magic. It will perfectly slice through the skin without smooshing the insides. Trust me.


It is going to save you soooo much time!


Enjoy!

With love from our simple kitchen to yours.

Kitchen Hack: Cherry Tomatoes

2 lids (same size)
1 serrated knife (8" bread knife works great)
cherry tomatoes (or grapes, pitted olives or pitted cherries)

Grab 2 same size lids. You can use plastic ware or lids from your fridge. I use the lids from my Ziploc Twist N Lok The lid does not have to be round.

You can use any size lid as long as it has a lip around the edge. You can even use small appetizer plates from your kitchen.

Place lid with the lip facing up, so you have an edge that will hold your food. Fill lid with cherry tomatoes.

Place the 2nd lid on top of the tomatoes with the lip facing down. Firmly press down on the top lid, but do not squish your tomatoes.

The 2 lips will hold the tomatoes in place so they do not roll off the lid. Slide your knife between the lids and carefully slice through them.

Chicken Rice Simple Side Dish

Chicken Rice Simple Side Dish

Moist, flavorful and fluffy Chicken Rice is just the simple side you have been looking for. Made with ingredients that are always in the pantry, it is perfect in a pinch and good enough for company.

Do you remember those side dish pouches? I pretty much served every meal with one. Let's be honest here. I haven't always been such a fabulous cook and for a long time it was just Chad and myself. So I would grab some fettucine alfredo, butter pasta, and rice sides which were perfect with just about everything.


But then once I embraced being creative in the kitchen I started developing my own easy side dishes that are just as easy as that package was and tastes sooo much better.

After making my Chicken Rice as a simple side for the 1 millionth time, Chad asked me if I ever shared it on our website. "Of course not" I replied. "It is so easy....  that our readers will love it!" I realized as I was in the middle of answering him.

Well, that said. This is so easy and perfect as a side dish or add chicken and veggies on top to create your homemade rice bowl. Simple and delicious is the name of the game and this side dish is everything you could want it to be.

Speaking of simple recipes, of course our new cookbook {The Simple Kitchen - available to order now}is packed with delicious, easy recipes. The Simple Kitchen is loaded with more than 75 BRAND NEW recipes and a hand full of family favorites too.

Crockpot Corn on the Cob

Crockpot Corn on the Cob

Perfectly cooked, tender and flavorful corn on the cob cooked right in your slow cooker without heating up the kitchen. This recipe is so easy, it practically cooks itself.

I can't even count how many times I have professed our love for corn around here... I am a born corn lover and Chad is from Iowa, so needless to say we are a corn lovin' family.

I have prepared it just about every way you can imagine: Oven Roasted Corn on the Cob, Simple Stove Top Corn on the Cob, Grilled Corn on the Cob and of course I have tossed it in a skillet and also microwaved it, but we will get to those later. {Click on the bold recipe titles to see those recipes}

To be honest, I have been oven roasting corn for the ease of prep and let it go. But it still heats up my kitchen, which during the summer in Arizona, I do not prefer.  So a few months ago I decided to try popping it in the crockpot and seeing what happened.

I was pretty blown away by the results. I have prepared it this way all summer long, for every party and every gathering and I have to say that all I have heard are compliments. It creates a perfectly tender and flavorful corn with the easiest clean up ever!

I pack it with all the seasoning and butter that is required to eat it and then just let everyone grab their own pouch.  Open carefully. Pop in some corn holders (or use your fingers) and eat over the foil. When they are done, pop out the holders and wrap up the cob in the foil.  Easy peasy.

It all starts by placing the corn on a piece of foil, topping with butter and seasonings and wrapping it. It is really that easy.  I have used salt, pepper and cayenne for a spicy version which is excellent.  However I have found of course that butter, salt and pepper is a crowd pleaser and I usually go with that version any time we are having people over or going to a potluck.

For Chad's birthday party I prepared some burgers, Crockpot Brats, Crockpot Corn on the Cob and a salsa bar (staring 3 heat varieties of our Lazy Day Salsa and several fruit salsas). Needless to say we ate a lot! Everyone went nuts over the corn and brats and I gave out a lot of recipes. You are going to love them too!

I have even tried this recipe with coconut and extra virgin olive oil and it is perfect every time!

Speaking of simple recipes, of course our new cookbook {The Simple Kitchen - available to order now}is packed with delicious, easy recipes.

Helpful Tips to make Crockpot Corn on the Cob:

• You can mix butter, salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl and dollop about 1/2 tablespoon on each ear of corn.
• You can use your favorite spice mixture to kick up the flavor. I sometimes add 1 teaspoon (to taste) cayenne pepper to the mixture. If you add spices, be sure to smear butter mixture on the corn or you will end up with a pile of spices on the corn when you open it.
• If you are watching what you eat, brush lightly with coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil instead.

What you will need to make Crockpot Corn on the Cob:

• Slow Cooker - the slow cooker is almost my most used kitchen appliance, especially during fall/winter! It's just so convenient, and lets face it, it makes comfort food taste even better!

Enjoy!

Crockpot Corn on the Cob

Perfectly cooked, tender and flavorful corn on the cob cooked right in your slow cooker without heating up the kitchen. It couldn't be easier with this set it and forget it simple recipe.

prep time: 5 minscook time: 2 hourtotal time: 2 hours and 5 mins

Ingredients

• 8 ears corn, shucked and trimmed to fit crockpot
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• salt and pepper to taste (I used about 1 teaspoon each)

Instructions

1. Place each ear of corn in a piece of aluminum foil (about 12"). Add 1/2 tablespoon butter, salt and pepper to taste. You can smear the butter over the corn, but I usually just dollop it in there.
2. Fold aluminum foil by bringing 2 long edges of foil together. Fold them over until you reach the corn. Then, pull sides of foil up to center top. Place corn in the crockpot with the seam side up. I use a 6 quart crockpot.
3. Repeat until corn is all wrapped. (I can fit 8 trimmed pieces of corn in my crockpot).  Pour 1/2 cup water in the bottom of the crockpot.
4. Cook on high for 2 hours or low 4-5 hours.  Once corn is done cooking, reduce temperature to warm for up to 2 hours, until ready to serve. Add a splash more water if needed longer than that.

DONNA'S NOTES

1. You can mix butter, salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl and dollop about 1/2 tablespoon on each ear of corn.
2. You can use your favorite spice mixture to kick up the flavor. I sometimes add 1 teaspoon (to taste) cayenne pepper to the mixture. If you add spices, be sure to smear butter mixture on the corn or you will end up with a pile of spices on the corn when you open it.
3. If you are watching what you eat, brush lightly with coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil instead.

Slow Cooker Creamy Mac and Cheese (With video)

Slow Cooker Creamy Mac and Cheese (With video)

Crock Pot Mac and Cheese is made with four cheese's and it's so easy to make by adding all of the ingredients to the crock pot. It is so easy it just about cooks itself!

Slow Cooker Creamy Mac and Cheese is one of my favorites way to make Mac and Cheese. This recipe will change entirely the way you make Mac and Cheese.

No more stirring by the stove and ending up with runny Mac and Cheese, no more picking in the oven, this slow cooker version is delicious and easy to make.

Also, for the ultimate creamy Mac and Cheese this recipe uses four different types of cheese! Holy Yum!

I am completely in love with this recipe for Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese. This recipe is a time saver and also makes one of the creamiest Mac and Cheese I have ever tasted.

The best part of it? No crazy ingredients or methods, no pre-boiling the pasta, you add everything to the slow cooker and wait for it to work its magic.

This recipe was adapted from the original slow cooker mac and cheese on this site and from The Simple Kitchen Cookbook. 

Speaking of simple recipes, of course our new cookbook {The Simple Kitchen - available to order now}is packed with delicious, easy recipes. The Simple Kitchen is loaded with more than 75 BRAND NEW recipes and a hand full of family favorites too.

8 chapters with a total of 82 quick and easy recipes that are bursting with flavor!!! Every recipe has a photo that will make your mouth water. It has slow cooker meals, one-pot recipes, quick dinners, simple appetizers, desserts and more!!! And we have included kitchen tips to make dinnertime less stressful.

We are so excited to share our recipes with you!!! So, don't wait. Go and grab yours today!  The Simple Kitchen <-- click here to order. 

Helpful Tips to make Slow Cooker Creamy Mac and Cheese:

• You can use a combo of any cheese you like, or if you only have one type on hand, use just one, just make sure you use same amount of cheese specified in the recipe.
• The key to this mac and cheese is to make sure you remember to stir it a few times, otherwise the pasta may stick to the bottom or sides of the slow cooker and burn.
• You can grate your own cheese, or you can buy grated/shredded cheese to save time.
• If you want to add some protein to the dish, I like stirring in at the end grilled chicken or some cooked sausage.
• You don’t need to pre-cook the pasta for this recipe. You can also use elbow, bow tie or small shells pasta.
• For a spicier kick add some cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
• The cheese sauce will thicken as it cools. If you plan to hold the mac and cheese in the slow cooker on warm, add extra milk as needed to keep the sauce nice and creamy. Also, if you are going to refrigerate it to eat later, add enough milk to the pasta to thin out the sauce before refrigerating. That way when you pull it out, it will scoop easily and the mac and cheese will warm up perfectly in the microwave or on the stove top. We do this every week and portion it out for easy lunches.

What you will need to make Slow Cooker Creamy Mac and Cheese:

• Slow Cooker - a lifesaver when you are looking to have dinner ready with minimum effort.
• Cheese Grater- As much as I love buying shredded cheese because I'm lazy, fresh grated cheese melts down so much better and creates a smoother mac and cheese.

Enjoy!

Slow Cooker Creamy Mac and Cheese

Slow Cooker Creamy Mac and Cheese is made with four cheeses and its so easy to make by adding all the ingredients to the crockpot.

prep time: 5 minscook time: 1 hour and 10 minstotal time: 1 hours and 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1 pound cellentani pasta (also known as cavatappi), uncooked
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced into 1-tbsp pieces
• 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into 1-oz pieces
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 4 cups whole milk
• 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup fresh shredded Gruyere cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Fresh Italian parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. Pour the uncooked pasta onto the bottom of your slow cooker. I love my 6-quart for this recipe. Scatter the butter and cream cheese pieces over the pasta. Sprinkle the salt, paprika and mustard over the top and pour the milk and cream into the slow cooker. Stir to combine everything and smooth the pasta into one even layer coated in sauce.
2. Cover and cook on low for 1 to 2 hours, until the pasta is chewy (not quite crunchy, but very al dente). Your cook time will vary if you use a different pasta, so start with 1 hour and adjust from there.
3. Stir once halfway through the cook time and be sure to smooth the pasta into one layer so it is well coated with the sauce.
4. Once the pasta is ready, sprinkle on the cheddar, Gruyere and mozzarella cheeses and stir to combine. The cheese will melt into the sauce to create the most luxurious creamy cheese sauce. Cover the mac and cheese and cook for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and it comes together.
5. Stir before serving and garnish with fresh parsley.

DONNA’S SIMPLE KITCHEN TIP:

1. The cheese sauce will thicken as it cools. If you plan to hold the mac and cheese in the slow cooker on warm, add extra milk as needed to keep the sauce nice and creamy. Also, if you are going to refrigerate it to eat later, add enough milk to the pasta to thin out the sauce before refrigerating. That way when you pull it out, it will scoop easily and the mac and cheese will warm up perfectly in the microwave or on the stove top. We do this every week and portion it out for easy lunches.
