Why Slow Cooking is so Great!
When it gets chilly and cold outside, there's nothing better than a delicious stew on the stove. The wonderful smells come from the kitchen, and then enjoy a delicious meal in the evening.
Sounds idyllic, doesn't it? And that's how I really feel, except that I usually don't cook my stews on the stove anymore. I am a huge slow cooker fan. No more chance of burning pots, you don't have to stay close, and the vegetables keep a bite instead of being thoroughly cooked. Lots of flavors.
