Crock Pots and Flip Flops

About Matt & Crockpots and Flip Flops

hey there!


Hi, I’m Matt Fay, the recipe writer at Crock Pots and Flip Flops! I’m happy to have you here and hope you are excited to start enjoying fantastic Crock Pot meals. Crock Pots and Flip Flops is a cooking blog featuring easy Crock-Pot recipes. Crafted with care, these low-prep recipes give busy families freedom to live life, and still get together for a homemade meal.

This is not a fancy food blog! This is a real-life food blog. I create the recipes in a way that they are accessible to anyone who can turn on a Crockpot.

I create these recipes for my readers because I want to share new ideas and spark creativity in the kitchen. I understand what it's like to have a super-busy schedule, work full-time, raise kids, maintain hobbies and a social life - all while needing to create fresh meals in the kitchen.

If you're like me, you run into a wall sometimes when coming up with dinner and party ideas. You don't always want to make the same things. You need ideas. And you want easy ideas.

Well, that's what I hope to share with you. Fresh ideas on using a kitchen staple - the slow cooker.

Why call it Crockpots and Flip Flops? The name is based on the idea that slow cooker meals can be so easy to make. Casual and quick. Whip up your dinner real quick, start the slow cooker, and then put on the flip flops to go about your business until it's time to eat.

When I was a kid, my mom used to use her Crockpot for one thing and one thing only - STEW. I had so much beef stew that I became scarred (sorry, mom!). I didn't use a crockpot for 35 years after that.

These days, I understand that the slow cooker can be used to create oh-so-much-more in the kitchen. It is a timesaver and a great tool.

For example, two of my fan-favorite recipes are Crock Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta and Easy Crock Pot Baked Ziti.

More and fresh is what I want to bring to you.

I hope you enjoy my recipes and my website
