I love unlocking the door after a long day at work and smelling the meal ready and waiting for me. I use my slowcooker at least twice a week all year round.
I can make healthy and delicious meals in one pot. Meal preparation is a breeze and the leftovers I can freeze. Oh, how the slower cooker is my friend as I have time for me.
I love the ease of preparation, the fact that all or most ingredients are added at the same time. I like the amount of vegetables and herbs or spices I can use.
I also like the time I can spend with family and friends outside the kitchen.
That time is precious – children grow so quickly, young adults move about the country for work and so are seldom home for long periods of time. As friends gather, we are able to spend time outside or in another room without worrying about getting dinner ready.
Slow cooking is the best! In summertime, delicious meals like low country boil, barbecue, and baked potatoes keep the heat out of the kitchen . The comforting foods like soups and stews in winter are convenient and so tasty . I like to know I’m preparing healthy meals for my family and it’s so liberating to have it all in one pot!!!!
Set it and forget it this way when we get home at dinnertime we are not tempted to eat fast food.
I love knowing that dinner is cooking at home while I am at work and that i will have very little to do when I get home to have a healthy dinner on the table for my family.
One pot cooking that you can start in the morning and it’s ready 4-6 hours later.
I can make healthy and delicious meals in one pot. Meal preparation is a breeze, and leftovers I can freeze. Oh, how I have extra time for me.
I love the smell of dinner cooking in the crockpot when I walk in the door.
Easy set up and clean up, especially if you’re working later!
