Slow Cooker Sesame Broccoli and Mushrooms

Why order Chinese? balance these deliciously Asian tasting veggies on top of white rice or some noodles and there you have it!

Slow cooker Lentil Dahl

I swear I do not own Fenugreek, Kaffir lime leaves, green Cardamom, black cumin seeds or any other substance you need wikipedia’s help to spell out.

Slow cooker Hungarian beef stew

My theory about slow cookers is that they are supposed to work for me and not vice versa. Chopping, browning, draining and cleaning BEFORE placing your ingredients in the slow cooker just doesn’t make any sense to me. I might as well leave the dish in its original pot and end up with less dishes. The [...]
