Crock Pot

Stews and Heart Soups

It feels like Winter. So it is time to eat hearty soups and stews!

As geeky as it sounds, I am ecstatic about my new recent purchase. A crock pot. I have been contemplating buying one for quite some time, but never got around to it. Finally, with the winter weather here in NYC, I decided to take the plunge and invest in the crock pot. I claimed it was a “you-are-a-great-papa-present” to my husband, but in reality, it was for me. (That is how most presents seem to work these days. oops).

All-Clad Deluxe Slow Cooker

Crock pots, also known as slow cookers, are ideal for cold and chilly days. I love the fact that you can just plop things into a container, press a button or three, and then forget about it for several hours. And then, voila! Dinner is ready! Not sure why, but the slow cooker makes everything richer; saturated with a deeper and solid flavor. There are a myriad of recipes online for crock pots — for veggie lovers or meat eaters. So many different options in one little container!

Stew!

Deliciousness in a bowl!

You can buy the All-Clad Deluxe Slow Cooker at Williams-Sonoma or even at Target (for a fraction of the price).

CHILI!

The first recipe used on the crock pot. I like to add sour cream (real or non dairy sour cream) and some sliced avocado. DELICIOUSNESS.

Here are my favorite recipes for my new purchase that I have made in the past AND/OR want to make in the near future.

Moroccan Chicken Stew

Chicken Curry

Enchilada Casserole

Warm crock pot meals are the perfect meal for a winter day!

Have a great weekend!
