Amazing Slow Cooker Chocolate Cake
This chocolate crockpot cake is incredibly moist and delicious, and it's so easy to make in your slow cooker. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Spicy and Savory Broiled Turkey Burgers
These spicy and savory broiled turkey burgers are some of my favorites. The recipe begins with the beautiful trio of onion, garlic, and ginger and are accented with a wide range of spices. Most ground turkey comes in 20-ounce plastic-covered trays, so I usually peel off the top, dump all the ingredients in, make patties, and throw away the package. There are no dishes to do except for the cooking pan and utensils.
Canada Day Nanaimo Bar Cheesecake
The taste of a Nanaimo bar in a cheesecake! Can't get any better than this. Make in the jelly roll pan for serving a larger crowd. Result is thinner but still as tasty. (You will need to adjust baking time if you use the bigger pan.)
