Chocolate Mousse Tarts

Finishing off the first series of guest posts here on Morsels of Life, we have Lisa from Flour Me with Love! I know I often opt to just not bake because it takes too long or it's too complicated or some other excuse. But if you look at Lisa's recipes, you can see how simple and straightforward baking can be! So, let's give Lisa a warm welcome as she shares her Chocolate Mousse Tarts with us. :)

My name is Lisa and I'm the publisher of Flour Me with Love. I'm a stay-at-home mom to four kids, and I have a passion for baking. Life can be very hectic, and I know a lot of people don't have the time to bake. Plus, some feel that it may be too complicated. I started Flour Me with Love to show everyone just how simple it is. I show step-by-step photo tutorials and have easy to follow instructions. I also use readily available ingredients so you'll be able to make any of the recipes on my blog. I hope you'll follow along!

Chocolaty tarts with a gooey center, then topped off with a slightly sweetened whipped cream! A wonderful recipe perfect for any holiday gathering.

Lisa's Beef Stew

I'm happy to introduce Lisa at Home to 4 Kiddos today! I first found her since she hosts Try a New Recipe Tuesday, and you're always sure to find something tasty there. I also love how she always gets her kids involved in whatever they're making and teaching them about making food. :) Without further ado, let's welcome Lisa as she shares her Beef Stew!

I am so grateful to be a contributing a guest post today! As CJ mentioned, I’m Lisa. I blog over at "Home to 4 Kiddos," where I write about lots of things, including our homeschool journey. I also host a weekly recipe linkup called "Try a New Recipe Tuesday." :)

A hearty beef stew with all your odds and ends - sure to please on a cold and blustery day.

Crockpot Rotisserie Chicken

I'm excited to introduce Kelly from Semi Homemade Mom! I'm definitely a fan of efficiency, and she shares quite a few shortcuts to get your meal on the table faster or more efficiently. :) A slow cooker is one really good way to decrease the amount of work needed to get a totally tasty meal, so I hope you'll all give Kelly a warm welcome as she shares her Crockpot Rotisserie Chicken!

Hello Morsels Of Life readers! My name is Kelly, also known as the Semi Homemade Mom. I'm an elementary teacher and I live in Pennsylvania with my husband Paul and two little boys, Silas (3) and Wesley (15 months). I love finding shortcuts in the kitchen and sharing my recipes with you. I hope you'll join me!

One of my prized possessions is my Crockpot. Seriously, I'm not sure what I did without that thing! I use it at least once a week and I LOVE trying new things in the Crockpot. Did you know you can cook a "rotisserie" chicken in your slow cooker?? SO easy and SO good, I'm telling you! No need to dirty lots of pans either, just plop the chicken in there with the rub and you're good to go!

Crockpot Rotisserie Chicken

A complete rotisserie chicken - seasoned and cooked in the crockpot.


Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 6 hours
Total time: 6 hours, 10 minutes
Yield: 6 servings

Materials:

• 4 pound whole chicken


• 2 tablespoons paprika


• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne (optional)


• 1 tablespoon dried, minced onion


• 3 cloves garlic, minced


• 1 teaspoon salt


• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, fresh ground

Methods:

1. Spray inside of the crockpot, in goes chicken!


2. In separate bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients to form a paste. Add a little water if needed.


3. Rub paprika mixture all over chicken.


4. Cover and cook on low 6 hours or on high 3 hours. Mine was actually done a lot sooner than that because I had one of those nifty pop up thingys, see:

YUM! Mouth watering dinner with lots of leftover chicken, too!

Thanks so much CJ for having me today, I hope to see you all over at Semi Homemade Mom sometime!

Hi all! I’m Sarah from Fantastical Sharing of Recipes. I have been blogging as many recipes as I can test out in my kitchen for the last 2 1/2 years or so. My family thrives on variety, and I try to stay away from prepared foods and boxed meals.

All the deliciousness of a stuffed pepper without all the hassle - with turkey, instead of beef, for a healthier alternative.
