What is Slow Cooker Cheesy Potatoes?

Cheesy Potatoes is a simple, classic side dish packed with the flavors of savory diced potatoes and smoked sausage and topped with melted cheddar cheese. I loved the addition of adding smoked sausage to give it a more robust flavor profile.

Love it a bit more spicy? You can totally add in some andouille or chorizo sausage!

How Do I Store Cheesy Potatoes?

You can store leftover Cheesy Potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. 

Can I Freeze Cheesy Potatoes?

I would not suggest freezing Cheesy Potatoes because the potato texture may turn soggy, watery, or grainy. But, if you do decide to freeze Cheesy Potatoes, place them in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Then, thaw in the fridge overnight before you reheat.

Can I Prep Cheesy Potatoes in Advance?

Yes. If you are using freshly diced potatoes, keep them from turning brown by covering them in a water bowl. Then, store the submerged potatoes in a bowl in the fridge up to one day in advance. Serve prepared Cheesy Potatoes within three days.

Tips for Making Cheesy Potatoes

• You can use chopped fresh potatoes to make Cheesy potatoes in the Slow Cooker.
• Consider serving Cheesy Potatoes with crumbled pieces of bacon on top alongside your favorite green salad.
• Add extra flavor to Cheesy Potatoes by blending an additional cheese with the cheddar, such as Colby Jack or Swiss Cheese.

Notes 

Before making these Slow Cooker Cheesy Potatoes, Consider these suggestions:

• After you reach halfway through cooking time, pick up the insert and turn 180 degrees to ensure even cooking time on all sides. We want a nice golden brown color around the whole edge.
• Preheat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat to make Cheesy Potatoes without a Slow Cooker. Add the cooking oil to the hot skillet and sear the sliced sausage first. Remove the sausage before adding the potatoes to the pan. Spread them into a single layer. Cook until the potatoes are golden brown on one side without stirring or turning. Repeat on the other side. Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add the sausage and the remaining ingredients (minus the cheese) into the skillet when the potatoes are crisp and creamy. Once heated through, transfer to a covered casserole dish and cook at 350 degrees. After 25 minutes, sprinkle with cheese on top and bake uncovered for five more minutes.  
• You can also prepare Cheesy Potatoes with fresh varieties, such as red, yellow, or russet potatoes.

Substitutions

• Sour Cream– For a high-protein alternative to sour cream in Cheesy Potatoes, combine Greek yogurt in equal parts. 
• Smoked Sausage– You can substitute turkey sausage in this Cheesy Potatoes Recipe. 
• Cream of Chicken Soup– If you don’t have the cream of chicken soup on hand, you can use cream of mushroom soup, or make your own by combining 3 T butter, 3 T white flour, ½ cup chicken stock, and ½ cup milk. Melt butter in a saucepan and whisk in the flour. Then add the chicken stock and milk and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook until it thickens.

For the last few months, I've been trying to find ways in helping to building endurance for myself. I haven't been to gym in I don't even know how long, and I stopped smoking on January 11th of this year. One of the best decisions I could have made for myself!

The downside of not going to the gym in over 11 years, and smoking for over 15 years is that I have zero lung capacity, I tire out fast when I try to exercise, and there are times that I feel like I can't just make it past a certain physical threshold.

I would literally try to “gasp” for air when just doing minor work around the yard, or laundry, and even walking up a small flight of stairs. It was time for to make life changing decisions, or be stuck in this same frame of mind and never changing anything. This was the time that sticks out in knowing that building endurance would help me get my lung capacity back.

So, I decided to take that first step forward, and put the nicotine sticks down. Now, I had to try to find a way to be able to breathe better AND to try to lose weight. It was a crap year for me with so many people in my life passing away. It started with my mom passing away, and then a couple of months later I received about 76 bags of Oreo cookies from a dear friend of mine. That's a long story about fabulous deals, Amazon discount codes, a big family, and me eating most of them.

But here I am now. Wanting to change. Making a change. Making changes. Building endurance. Becoming a stronger and healthier person.

Why am I using a Bowflex Max Trainer for Building Endurance?

I'm so glad you asked that! Right now…in my current physical state of being, I'm just not too comfortable with being in front of other people working out, and then I would need someone to babysit Angela for me. I really need something that I can conveniently use from home, and the Bowflex Max Trainer has a lot going on for it.

I love that it has an amazingly convenient Athletic Intelligence (AI) app that I can use on my tablet. Yes, the Bowflex Max Trainer M8 has a pretty nice & legit screen without having to be all fancy shmancy, but that app is really nice and it logs all of my activity.

I am in LOVE with the AI app because it helps to drive goals and see results, and that's what I really need to see to help encourage me along the way of building endurance, and creating better wholistic health benefits for myself. The app is intuitive, easy to use, and comprehensive in addressing ways to optimize and increase my performance results.

The Max Trainer is Bluetooth enabled, so it's very easy to find on your tablet to utilize. Once the App is connected, you can then connect it to which user you want to on the Trainer. You can track up to 4 different users on this amazing machine! Which is cool because Stephen is wanting to use it as well. The App is called, Max. Max ACTUALLY speaks to you and coaches you throughout your workout. It also adjusts to your needs to help maximize that calorie burn.

And yes, it even has a heart rate monitor, PLUS you can use a blue tooth enabled heart rate monitor, which I love the convenience of.

The app syncs right to the machine, so you can modify and change whatever you want and your app will record it for you. Need a workout routine? You can do that on the app as well with an amazing premium subscription service, which is totally worth it!

It Has a 14 Minute H.I.I.T. Workout on it

The H.I.I.T. (Hight Intensity Interval Training) aspect is a winner for me. What exactly is H.I.I.T.? It is a training technique to where you give all-out, one hundred percent effort through quick, intense bursts of exercise, followed by short, sometimes active, recovery periods. With the Max Trainer, you're always active; however, you have a nice slow pace at the recovery time.

To be honest? I did not make it through the 14 minutes on my first 2 tries. It was hellish, and I thought I was dying…at times. But you know what? I made it through the 14 minutes on my 3rd try. I was bound and determined to get through it.

If I could stop smoking, then I can definitely get through 14 minutes. Gasping for breath in a pool of sweat, I did it!

The next thing to do for myself was to make sure that I stayed motivated. I have to keep reminding myself on a daily basis, “Aren't I worth the 14 minute investment?” I play music while I'm on the machine, and it takes about 6 – 7 songs to get through the work out with a warm up and a cool down included.

I will give a full update and progress report when I check in with you all again.

Everyone has their own definition of what it means to be fit. The Athletic intelligence that comes with the App, will crunch all that data that you give it from working out. It will analyze your peak performance, when you're drying out of energy, and it becomes your new coach in crushing goals and burning those calories.

This machine makes my fat cells cry, which is a good thing. My body and I are gonna see what happens with this Bowflex Max Trainer M8. So far, I do love it. It will kick you in the butt when you first get started with it, so be forewarned!

Whether you're just starting out, like my fat ass is, or if you're looking for ways kick up your training & workout regime, then this is the machine for your. Give it a try. You have a 60 day money back guarantee. A money back guarantee always makes me feel better about a purchase.

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Good Foods Guacamole. All opinions are my own.

In my home, the Holiday times are all about eating good food! However, just because the food is amazingly delicious doesn’t mean that it’s exactly healthy for you…like my homemade mac and cheese – not healthy, but delicious! However, I always try to find a balance of healthy and non-healthy.

It winds up being an endless line of food in my home from November till January. I have friends and family over my home constantly, and I don’t mind because I totally love entertaining and making food for everyone.

This year is a little different than previous years as we have added in extra party: A house warming party! I’m so excited to say that Stephen and I bought our first home! I’m committing myself to explore some healthier options for appetizers to share with everyone. As you know, I LOVE creating fun, creative, and simple appetizers that taste delicious.

This is where Good Foods Guacamole enters from stage left.

Good Foods has a HUGE array of guacamole products, including: Individual packs, individual snack packs with corn chips, pineapple guacamole, southwest guacamole, spicy guacamole, chunky guacamole, and so many more! There’s a flavor variety for everyone that you can think.

I had my whole family sample each flavor. I have my sister who can eat her weight in food and then 2 growing tweenagers that are eating me out of house and home, so I was ecstatic to get so many different varieties to sample. It’s food, so of course everyone loved it. However, they definitely loved the Pineapple guacamole and Spicy guacamole. I like them a lot, too…but I’m loved the Chunky Guacamole variety. I love avocado, so the chunkier the better!

The flavors of ALL of them were seriously so creamy and delicious. You can taste the real ingredients in them, and love that this is one of those products that taste like you made it from scratch. I’ve had other store bought guacamole packs, and I only kinda liked them or didn’t like them at all and they ended up in the trash. Yes, I know that I can simply make my own, but I don’t always have that extra time during the holidays to do so.

While devouring everything in front of us, I had a fabulous idea of a super easy, healthy, and delicious appetizer to serve my family during the holidays!

I found these super adorable mini red solo plastic cups that I’ve been dying to use for the last two years. Today was the day I was finally going to use them!

Here’s what you’re going to need:

Little red plastic solo cups

Good Foods Pineapple guacamole

herb infused crackers

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Fill up the little cups with the pineapple guacamole until it comes out of the cup a little bit.
2. Take a cracker and break it half. Make sure that the broken pieces of the cracker are facing in the same direction. Place them in the cup, and call it a day!

These are super fast to put together, which is great because guacamole tends to brown on top from the interaction with oxygen molecules. Since they’re so easy to make, you don’t have to make a ton of them at a time.

This year, consider Good Foods Guacamole by adding a touch of something healthy this holiday season!

Don't these look so super yummy? Plus the colors are perfect for the holidays!

Here’s some great information about exactly WHY Good Foods Guacamole tastes so damn good, and what process they utilize in making it. It’s SOOOOO freaking cool!

By switching to a clean eating diet, you’re embracing the world of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy proteins, and healthy fats added into your world. You’re kicking processed sugars to curb, while decrease your sodium intake. The clean eating diet encourages you to eat multiple small meals throughout the day, and this includes breakfast.

Let’s face it. You already have a hectic life. You don’t have time to be thinking about what you should be eating for breakfast, but you have to. The first meal of the day is what helps to set the tone for the rest of your day, whether it’s at work or home.

Starting your day off with the right clean eating breakfast can actually elevate your energy levels, while decreasing your cravings for empty calorie filled chips, snacks, and other high caloric foods that aren’t going to do your body any good.

When starting a clean eating diet (or any kind of diet), you should take a couple of hours and map out your week. Take the time to see if you can do any type of batch meal prepping to help make your morning routine run a little bit smoother, and still provide time to have a nutritious and fabulous meal to start your day.

To help you along you way of a cleaning eating diet journey, I have some pretty fabulous breakfast ideas to help inspire you to actually EAT breakfast and start your day off right!

Clean Eating Breakfast Ideas Recipes

Cleaning Eating “Pancakes”

Unlike traditional pancakes that have a flour base to them, these don’t! They’re so super easy to make, and you can totally make a nice batch of these to last throughout your crazy work and family life. They’re definitely so much healthier than traditional pancakes, and they’re already slightly sweetened, so you probably won’t even have the need of a pure maple syrup on them. I also love that you can fill the center with fresh fruit and roll it up. Such a delight!

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 1 ripe banana
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, mash banana with a fork. Add in eggs and cinnamon, and then mix well together until all ingredients are blended together.
2. Prepare as you would traditional pancakes in a pan over medium heat. I use a non-stick spray to coat the pan with before cooking.

Avocado Toast

This is one of my personal favorite treats that I LOVE eating in the morning. You get the healthy oils from the avocado, and don’t have to worry about refined sugars being in the bread. I use a flourless sprouted wheat berry bread for my toast that I get from Trader Joe’s. It's so amazing!

All you do is cut open an avocado and slice it up over a piece of the bread I recommended. It’s so amazing, and super satisfying. What I REALLY love doing is sprinkling some of Trader Joe’s Chili Lime salt on top of the avocado to add some fun flavor to it. For more protein power, you can easily add slices of hardboiled eggs or smoked salmon on it.

Clean Eating Breakfast Ideas: Everybody Loves Smoothies!

Smoothies are a quick and easy breakfast treat to make if you’re in a rush to get out the door to work. Smoothies are one of the many clean eating breakfast ideas to enjoy! You can use non-fat yogurt as your base, and add in fresh berries, baby spinach, flax seeds, peanut butter, cocoa powder, bananas, avocados, agave nectar, and so many more other amazing ingredients to your smoothie. Even though the smoothie may appear to be not-so-healthy, you’ll receive so many important nutrients into your body for the fuel that you’ll need to kick start your day. If you don’t know what to make, here are some fabulous smoothie options to help inspire you:

1. Coconut Milk Smoothie
2. Cinnamon Chai Tea Banana Smoothie
3. Green Lemon Pineapple Smoothie
4. Cherry Beat Smoothie
5. Sweet Cherry Flaxseed Smoothie
6. Purple Power Smoothie
7. Orange Mango Smoothie
8. Banana Oat Protein Smoothie
9. Kale Berry Banana Hemp Smoothie
10. Raspberry Almond Chia Smoothie

More Than Smoothies: Clean Eating Breakfast Ideas that You can Prep Ahead of Time

This is the biggest time saving tip that I can give to you for when trying to do your clean eating diet. I’ve already given you some pretty fab ideas for clean eating breakfast recipes, but I’m about to blow your mind with more amazing clean eating breakfast recipes that you TOTALLY have the time to prepare and then just grab and go to work. You can buy some little mason jars and plastic portion boxes to keep everything in.

1. Banana Chia Pudding
2. Quinoa Breakfast Bake
3. Sweet Potato Pancakes
4. Cherry Breakfast Rice Bowl
5. Seven Citrus Salad
6. Homemade Granola
7. Banana Oatmeal Muffins
8. Turkey Chorizo Sandwiches

10. Honey Nut Bars

Yes, life can be hectic between work, getting the kids to school, or running a 1,001 errands; however, if you do some meal prep work, the rest of your week will be easier to navigate through.

If you're on the Weight Watcher's Program, then you should definitely take a look at these recipes because many of them are so low in points, or can be made lower in points!

The characters in The Walking Dead find themselves in a constant rush to find food. Running from house to house with only the supplies they can scrounge from abandoned stores, inconsistent heat sources, and their wits, they manage to eat. And you think you have it hard? Well, ok, maybe you do.

After all, once a day of work, never-ending questions from children, and trying to manage a whole house full of people is done, you’re kinda like a zombie yourself. Walking Dead Recipes may sound complicated, but they could be the key to making dinner sound worth getting up off the couch for.

Walking Dead Recipes Will Stop You From Starving!

The thing I love about The Walking Dead is that it has revived an interest in survival skills. Think about how little we know how to do without grocery stores, electricity, and our cell phones at this point. If the entire world went off the grid, you would be STARVING. That’s totally not ok.

I don’t know about you, but every time I watch this show I’m thinking “crap, I don’t even know how to build a fire. I am so dead.” For the hunters in the house, you can pat yourself on the back and feel great about the knowledge that you have a skill that is going to make you a hot commodity out in the woods.

You’re not picking up cold cuts here; this is wild game that you are eating in the woods. That means you have to know not only how to kill your dinner, you have to know how to skin, butcher and season the food to make it palatable. A walk in the field this is not.

If Negan comes to town, I have no idea what I would need to feed him in order to satisfy him or Lucille. We had better get started on these Walking Dead Recipes or we are going to be on the business end of that bat!

Creatively Cooking Walking Dead Recipes

Okay, so you're going to have to have some kind of ingenuity in making more than just a camp fire to cook these walking dead recipes. You can make yourself a brick oven, or even cook in the ground (a.k.a. earth oven). If you have a camp set up with protective walls, like they did in Alexandria, then you have even more options, like an old school pressure cooker! If you find one of those, life is set. You can then make pressure cooker recipes over you open campfire.

Walking Dead Recipes: Food From Nature

Venison Jerky

Learning how to make venison jerky is going to be a fabulous tool to have in your arsenal of surviving an apocalypse. You'll be able to have protein power on the go, and readily available for whenever you need it. PLUS it's so easy to store with a nice shelf life. Here's another way to make venison jerky that looks yummy!

Huckleberry Grilled Doves

While you’re out in the wilderness, you may need to make a few doves cry (sorry Prince). You will absolutely need to give these beautiful birds a chance to grace your table – er- stump in the woods. There is an amazing huckleberry barbecue sauce to take things up a notch.

Smoked Pheasant

Darryl, load up your bow! This would be a great recipe for celebrating the holidays in an abandoned house. After all, it isn’t like everyone ran off and took their grills. Run and scrounge up some wood, fire up the smoker, and eat like a king. Just make sure you keep watch, we don’t want the walkers coming in to get a bite.

Hmong Squirrel Stew

This delicious and beautiful stew can be made to put something hearty on your belly before you have to set out to find a new place to stay. The governor and his men come in the morning to blow up your prison, so eat quick.

Moose Meatballs

Though The Walking Dead takes place in Georgia, there is no reason to believe that survivors are not in the Northern states, hoping to find solace. If you’ve got the gun power, you can take down a moose and get him in your belly.

Venison Tenderloins

If only they had shot that deer instead of Carl. That kid has been through more injuries than you can wink at ( see what I did there??). After they got him patched up, they should have taken that deer out and grilled up these tasty tenderloins.

Campfire Stew

Let's face it. A major of your cooking will done on an open fire, or a make shift brick oven to bake food in. This campfire stew is totally going to hit the spot and provide you with the nutrients your body is going to need to out run the walkers that are hot on your tail. If you didn't find any tomato paste while you were on a run, you can always sun dry tomatoes and crush it into a paste to get the rich flavor you need.

Rabbit Gumbo

Fishing was relaxing before the apocalypse. Now you’ll never know when your hook will bring up something other than the fish – and that something will be a bloated, gross nasty zombie. BUT if you can stomach the danger, you’ll reap a pretty rocking reward in these roasted whole rainbow trout.

Wild Harvest Pie

Meat, for whatever reason, may not always be available to you. I hope you learned how to scavenge, because you need to keep your strength up, or you’ll BECOME meat. These pies ought to do the trick.

Elderberry Syrup

Medicine is always a challenge in the wild, and this elderberry syrup can do the job of being both food and soothing a sore throat during an illness. If you’re lucky enough to shelter long enough to brew up a batch, keep it in your bag for when you’re on the run. Coughing in the middle of the night will get a walker breathing down your throat.

Maple Bourbon Pecan Pie

This is something I would fully expect to find cooling on the windowsill of Carol’s cabin. It’s a shame she’s always running off and isolating herself; those cooking skills are awfully vital to the crew. Maybe Darryl can convince her to save me a slice.

Handmade Stinging Nettle Pasta

You may have thought you’d never taste pasta again, but this stinging nettle pasta can make it a reality again. Glen would have been glad to make a run to town to get you ingredients – if he were still here. The injustice!

Goat Cheese Stuffed Hibiscus Blossoms

When faced with the ugly reality of living in the wilderness, you are going to need some beauty in your life. Go for a walk outside that cabin and check on that livestock you’ve been trying to cultivate. Enjoy it while it lasts; like these stuffed hibiscus blossoms, it could all be gone when a hungry crowd shows up. And yes, you can actually make your own goat cheese!

Mustard Marinated Chicken

Yes, there will be chickens, cows, pigs, and all of that other type of live stock…for whatever the walkers didn't eat. This mustard chicken recipe is a great way to keep the flavor variety into your barely existent dietary intake of food, so make the most of what supplies you have around you! You should be able to find all of these ingredients if you ransack the right house!

The Walking Dead has captured the heart and the imagination of the country. These recipes rock; what better way to feel like a part of the show than eating like you’re escaping the dead yourself. Don’t forget to post a picture of you eating your Walking Dead Recipes!
