My available time has been at a ridiculous low! I spend two and a half hours a day just driving to and from work. I do not always feel like making dinner when I get home along with other chores. Even though I love to cook, sometimes I just eat a bowl of cereal or a bag of popcorn. Ha!
I’ve used a crock pot in the past, but it has been awhile. Last time I used my crock pot It did not function correctly, so I threw it away. I just got a new VersaWare that I am anxious to try. Crockpots have a poor reputation because of the recipes littered with frozen veggies, canned soups and other low quality ingredients. I am in search of time, the ability to still have healthy meals and see this as a solution.
I adapt my favorite recipes to the magic pot and use fresh herbs and fragile vegetables at the end. Today I am christening my new pot by making, Cassoulet with lamb, pork and veal...
There is nothing more inviting and welcoming to me than, ahh yes, smells of a home cooked meal...
Cheers,
Tracy
