I am in major EAT ALL THE FOOD mode right now. Like, I want the freezer cleaned out, I want the pantry cleaned out, I want everything out.
Which is ridiculous because we still have almost 2 months left here.
But for whatever reason, my brain says that we need to eat everything now and then buy just what we need to survive the rest of the time here.
And that’s never going to work because we are incredibly high-maintenance when it comes to food.
Also, I’m feeling super productive because I’m burning through all my candles and each time I finish one, I say “Yep, one less thing to take with us!”
As if a candle is going to make or break our household goods allowance.
But anyway, I’m finding all kinds of things in my freezer. There’s a pint of opened dog ice cream (yeah, that’s a thing) from 2 summers ago that I won’t feed the dogs but I love the label too much to throw it away.
There’s also at least 5 bags of ravioli. Because apparently I impulse buy pasta filled with cheese more often than I realize.
Luckily, the kids love ravioli! This Crockpot Ravioli is so simple and it’s perfect for us right now because I’m crazy I already had all the ingredients on hand and I, you know, felt like I was actually accomplishing something by throwing away that empty bag of mozzarella.
If only moving was as easy as eating all the food and burning all the candles, right?

Pasta AND a slow cooker? This recipe is destined for greatness!
Alyssa @ Simply Quinoa says
I have a serious love affair with ravis. We have homemade ones at every Christmas and they are just awesome. I would never have thought to make raviolis in a crock pot though! Genius :)
Julie | This Gal Cooks says
Ah I know how it is to want to clean everything out before moving. I remember the last time we moved, we had cleaned out a lot of the pantry and fridge. Our options were getting close to eating pasta with mayo or pasta with peanut butter (because no matter what, there will always be peanut butter). We really didn’t eat those combos but we did get pretty low on stuff. If you make more stuff like this ravioli, I’ll come help you clean out the food! ;)
Karen @ The Food Charlatan says
Ravioli in the crock pot! This is genius.
Deb @ Cooking on the Front Burner says
Great slow cooker recipe and we love ravioli!
Kristen says
I totally get the wanting to use up all the food early. Every time we have moved, I have done the same thing…and actually barely used it all before we left. I snorted out loud when I read about the dog ice cream and the label.
Amy @Very Culinary says
I impulse buy mayonnaise. I have like 7 jars in my pantry. You need some?
Cyndi - My Kitchen Craze says
Don’t worry your not the only one that is this way. Before we bought out first house I sold all of our furniture 2 months before we moved because I wanted new stuff. Well needless to say we ate dinner and watched tv on the floor. It was fun and annoying all at once. ;) This slow cooker ravioli looks delicious! Simple and easy…my kind of dinner. Pinned and good luck with eating all the food! ;)
Annie @Maebells says
Omg I can totally relate. We are just *hoping* to move by summer. Just hoping, there is nothing actually in the works and in my head I am already packing! The mind is a powerful thing!! :) I love the looks of this ravioli! So delicious!
Ashley (QLCC) says

Nice time saver using the crockpot. I’ve never tried w/ ravioli but maybe it’s time :-)
Marissa says
I did not know that dog ice cream was a thing. :) And I’ve never made ravioli in the slow cooker, but it’s such a great idea. Love this!
Robyn Stone | Add a Pinch says
Great idea for those weeknights when everything is SO super busy! Love that you made it in the crockpot!!! Yum!!!
Andi @ The Weary Chef says
Cleaning out your kitchen sounds like a good way to get ready for the move. You are getting rid of stuff and can stress eat at the same time. I have never thought of making ravioli in the slow cooker, but now I want to try it!
Shannon @ Dinner from the Heart says
I’ve made the frozen ravioli in a baking dish in the oven, but I totally love the idea of making it in the crockpot! I have a new crockpot obsession since I discovered crockpot LINERS!! I made the stickiest rice in mine the other day – in a liner – and I just pulled the liner out and threw. it. away. Best thing ever!
Jessica @ A Kitchen Addiction says
I love having ravioli on hand for crazy weeknights! I can’t wait to try making it in the crock pot!
Kacey @ The Cookie Writer says
This seriously looks amazing, and I would love to have some right now! Good luck cleaning out all the food (I am sure the food blog will help nicely with that!)
Ashley @ Big Flavors from a Tiny Kitchen says
This looks like an awesome way to use up frozen ravioli. Yum!
Christie says
I totally get on a binge about buying something and end up with a ton of it. It is usually something we don’t eat much either. Don’t know why. The slow cooker was a fabulous way to enjoy the ravioli.
Carrie @ Bakeaholic Mama says
I impulse buy ravioli every week… we have so many bags too!
