As the weather has gotten colder, soups and stews seem to be what we all want, what we all crave - and what better than assembling a few ingredients in the slow cooker, switching it on, then going about your business, work, shopping, whatever and returning home to a wonderful smell emanating from the slow cooker - by this time the flavours have melded wonderfully, the colours muted but also more intense, and nothing else to do to get the family fed? Wonderful!
I love using my slow cooker, and it doesn't even need much washing after a friend sent me some slow cooker liners from the States!
I've been reading a great blog, which has inspired me no end, do check it out:

Slow cookers rock in my opinion!!! I used mine a lot this winter, for soups, stews, even a few desserts!!!
ReplyDeleteoooh, that is an excellent link Anna, lots of great new ideas-thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love slow cooking but I don't have a slow cooker....I have hinted many times, but my hints always land on deaf ears.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very useful link too, I never thought of cooking anything but stews in a slow cooker.
I love my slow cooker too. Especially since it has a timer, so even if I'm a little late it all works out.
ReplyDeleteI have a few books at home on using the slow cooker, I will see what other recipes I can pass your way Anna. :)
I got the link from Karen, she is always saying how much she enjoys Stephanie's blog. I've taken to reading it right from the beginning, I'm really enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteSandy - I'd be grateful for any recipes you can pass my way. I'm going to try the roast chicken soon!
