5 crock pot party dips you can make and take easily. It’s no secret that I think the crock pot is a miracle machine for busy family cooks, and not just for weeknight meals. Crock pots are also great for keeping big quantities of food at just the right temperature when you’re entertaining, or especially when you’re transporting goodies elsewhere. On behalf of our sponsor Crock-it Lock-it, I’ve put together 5 of my favorite, deliciously warm party dip recipes that are ready to take on the go. Crock-it Lock-it is very clever if you’re a crock pot fan; it helps you seal up and carry your 4-8 quart crock pot easily, right along with the cord and a ladle. That means you keep all that dip deliciousness inside, and not all over your car.

(Been there.) Then, when you get to where you’re going, just take it off, plug in your crock pot, and set it to warm to keep your dip at the right temperature all party long. Even if you close the party out. -Don’t miss a nice offer just for CMP readers, below- EXTRA COOL! 82Share. Dash and bella. La Buena Vida. A CUP OF JO.

Sabzi Polow. Persian New Year (Nowruz) is the celebration of the first day of spring (Bahar) with all its beauty, greenery and blossoms. Traditional Nowruz dishes are made with herbs representing new life and revival. Sabzi polow is a delicious and healthy dish usually served with smoked white fish (mahi doodi) or fried fish. I posted a sabzi polow recipe last year, here. However, this new variation came about in an attempt to have every grain of rice and chopped vegetables blend well together. In addition to the fresh vegetables, I used 3 tablespoons of dried vegetables which were a combination of parsley, leek and dill. Serves 4-6 1 cup of chopped parsley 1 cup of chopped dill 1 cup of chopped scallions or leek (green parts only) 1 cup of chopped coriander *optional 3-4 tablespoons dried herbs *optional 3-4 cloves of garlic, peeled *optional 2 1/2 cups of long grain rice 2-3 tablespoons of salt oil for the bottom of the pot (2-3) tablespoons Method: Enjoy and Eid Mobarak!

Delishhh. 5 second rule. The day before I started culinary school I was attacked by a tuna can. This was inauspicious at best, humiliating at worst. It meant I began the transition to my new career not in a haze of gauzy wonder but in several layers of actual gauze, taped over fresh stitches by the fine folks at Leonard Morse Hospital in Natick, Massachusetts.

Imagine my introduction to my fellow students the following day. "Hi, I'm Cheryl. Excuse me if I don't shake your hand, but really, you can trust me around meat slicers, robot-coupes, and giant knives for the next 10 months. " Our class bonded quickly, though we couldn't have been more different. And then there was me: thirty-two years old, a career-changing mother of two boys in diapers, my stitched hand wrapped up as subtly as a deli sausage.

That year was a good one. Towards the end of that year, someone threw a party. I gilt the top of that cake with golden spirals. It was a fun night.
