Sunday mornings are really rushed. You know how it is. First chores, then kid’s baths, diaper bags, snacks, food for the after church potluck, and getting it all out to the car… And then you’re driving down the road and a voice pops up from the back seat. “Mom, can I have some foooood?” Ugh.

Slow Cooker
I’m a huge fan of my slow cooker. It’s an incredibly versatile machine to have in the kitchen. The slow cooker is a great way to get meals done and not worry about cooking, just set it in the morning and by dinner time, you’ll have a healthy hearty meal. Some of my favorite things to make in my slow cooker are my baked pork chops and rice. It’s an easy one pot meal that makes clean up quick and easy. A slow cooker is almost mandatory when it comes to making beans because it allows for a long slow cook that make the beans not just tender but flavorful. The great thing about the slow cooker is its ability to work through tough cuts of meat and them juicy and tender, like beef heart. You can save money by purchasing tougher cuts of meat but having them prepped in the slow cooker will make it melt in your mouth. From soups to full dinners, I love my slow cooker!

Then I found a lighter, less fussy version, the kind that is Keep Reading

Slow Cooker Butternut ‘n Apples
This is one of those delightfully easy, but delicious dishes that help you take advantage of the ever low price of butternut squash.
