Crossing the Divide

I love my slow cooker. As a working man with a working wife, it is so nice to come home to a meal that is already done and doesn’t need much work. Unfortunately, many of the meals seem the same. Tender meat (chicken, beef, pork) in some kind of sauce and generally with some vegetables that have been cooked soft. Lots of good dishes with good flavors, but sometimes you want something that just tastes a little fresh.

    You might have had a better experience, whenever I use the slow cooker things turn “mushy” and kinda lose their texture quick! 😦 – Love what you made though, thanks for sharing.
