Well, the beautiful Thai Beef Stew I told you about was ruined! My crock pot decided low was the perfect temperature setting for boiling and burning my dinner. I was a little majorly sad but my husband saved the day. He told me to go to my favorite fitness studio for a class and he would research crock pots for me online. This is a man who knows my heart! We trashed the stew-filled crockpot and I danced away my frustration.
The new slow cooker in my life is pretty spectacular...this is not an exaggeration. It has a brown/sauté feature which is a huge time-saver and helps with clean-up. You can also steam veggies and of course, use the slow-cooker feature. It is a little expensive in comparison to most models but Amazon has a pretty great deal. Totally worth the price!
My first meal in my slow cooker was Against All Grain's Chicken Verde. It is a fabulous recipe from her Meals Made Simple book. It is easy, delicious, and makes for great leftovers! I also made her coconut-lime cauli-rice and cumin-garlic squash. A perfect, simple supper. It's even Whole30 approved! (just leave out the honey for the 'rice')
**All three recipes are from Meals Made Simple.**
