Many new faces around here thanks to my brownies 🙋🏻‍♀️ I'm Melissa (Persnickety Plates) & I love sharing recipes. Despite what my IG feed might make you think, I do share a lot of savory recipes as well. Actually, I'm pretty well known for slow cooker recipes on Facebook 💁🏻‍♀️ Come hang out over there if you're interested. I live in Metro Detroit with my husband & two daughters (5 & 9) & Persnickety Plates is my full time job. Tell me something about you - where are you from? Who do you cook for? Would you rather cook or bake? 👀 Oh & here's a brownie recipe if you're interested 👇🏼 /better-than-box-mix-brownies/ #foodblogfeed #foodblogging #foodblogger #michiganblogger #bakefromscratch #happyfriyay #persnicketyplates

#orringtonfarmspartner There’s nothing better than a warm bowl of chili on these freezing cold days. I used @orringtonfarms Chicken Flavored Broth Base to make this Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili. It is full of flavor and protein. It also warms up beautifully so you can eat it for days. Orrington Farms® Chicken Flavored Broth Base adds a ton of flavor, is shelf stable (no need to refrigerate it!), mixes in with water, and makes 56 cups per jar. Comment CHILI for a link to the full recipe and follow @orringtonfarms to learn more and find recipe ideas. #orringtonfarms #slowcookerrecipe #crockpotcooking #persnicketyplates
