Originally published December 11, 2011 which is WILD because how have I been posting recipes online for this long?

Hi guys!

I’m bringing back a super old recipe today. Because, for some reason, it was the most popular recipe on my blog for New Years Eve and New Years Day even though the only photo it had was small and horizontal and pretty terrible.

But seeing everyone else make it made me want to make it again.

I mean, I’d named it my number 1 most favorite recipe in my 2011 wrap up post and then I never made it again.

Hi guys! Are you ready to start talking football watching snacks?

Homegating snacks?

Yeah?

This is my favorite favorite favorite time of year for food.

Give me all the cheesy dips, all the tiny hot dogs wrapped in crescent rolls, and a slow cooker full of meatballs in a  sweet sticky sauce.

Plus, hosting friends is always fun, even if all your friends have terrible taste of football.

Ahem.

Is everyone obsessed with squash right now or is it just me?

I feel like every post I’ve put up this month has been squash.

I have 5 varieties in my pantry right now. And as soon as I cook one, I run to the store to replace it. Just in case I have an emergency and need a sweet dumpling squash right now.

I can’t get enough.

Slow Cooker Pork and Butternut Squash Stew - a bowl of comfort! Quickly brown the pork and then toss everything in the slow cooker!

Okay guys, real talk.

I broke the driver’s side window of my car.

“How’d you manage that one, Amanda?”

Well, it’s a Wrangler so the windows unzip and the zipper broke.

Okay, fine, I broke both zippers. Which is okay most of the time since I normally have at least the back windows off anyway. But y’all, it’s cold in the mornings and at night in central Texas now. I was shivering on my way back from Austin last week.

An hour and a half at 75 MPH with the window down at 10 pm?

It was cold.

This Slow Cooker Garlic Chicken Farfalle is one of my family’s all-time favorite meals. I haven’t made it in years because my husband was deployed and then he was Paleo but now that bulk season is in full effect, this is back in the rotation.

I actually blogged about it years ago but the picture is pretty awful and I feel like it didn’t come across as tasty as it really is.

It’s really simple – the chicken is cooked in the slow cooker all day and then it’s shredded and tossed with bacon, heavy cream, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. I know you’re going to look at it and go “Whooooaaaa! A cup of heavy cream?!” but I have cut this recipe down so much. The original – which I got from a lady on a pregnancy board almost 8 years ago! I’ve been making it that long! – called for a whole stick of butter and an entire pound of bacon. And I won’t lie, doing it that way is pretty amazing. But I managed to cut it down to what you see below and my family didn’t notice a difference.

Make it! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
