This easy apple pie recipe belongs to my mother. I make it all the time when I want a simple homemade pie. I love it! I often add a dash of nutmeg to the apple filling.

Easy Slow Cooker Stroganoff
Was in a hurry one day and threw this all together in the slow cooker. When I got home I was so surprised because it tastes like beef stroganoff made the hard way. So much simpler. I love this on a big piece of butter bread like an open-faced stroganoff sandwich.
Traditional Gyro Meat
Delicious gyros made with homemade gyro meat. This is the closest I've come to emulating my favorite Mediterranean restaurant's recipe. The Greek/Lebanese-style meatloaf is sliced and served with pita bread, tzatziki, and tomatoes. The preparation time seems long, but most of it is resting time, so you can be doing other things!
Poor Man's Pie
This is an awesome recipe for poor man's pie that I got from my coworker. It can be modified in many ways, including for the slow cooker. It's a simple meal of things you often already have on hand that really sticks to the bones, and it can also be a fun way to use up some leftovers.
