My thoughts:

I bought my outset digital deadening cooker ta calendar month or thence ago. I guide a ton of deadening cookers cheers to creating 300 recipes for my healthy deadening cooker cookbook but all of them are the traditional, manual kind.  When I was writing the book, I didn't wishing to assume that people had what was then, the newest inwards deadening cooker technology. The manual ones move fine, but I guide to acknowledge I was curious close the programable kind. I couldn't convey myself to purchase i when I already had thence many.

Then my trusty 4-quart oval died a twelvemonth or thence agone thence when I saw i on sale for exclusively $25 at Target that was programable, I ran correct to the store. Four-quart deadening cookers, peculiarly oval-shaped,  are surprisingly hard to notice (the 6-7-quart models are to a greater extent than popular) but they are perfect for making nutrient for smaller families. You don't ever wishing chili for 10! I can't notice it online for purchase but it's this (Rival) Crock-Pot brand together with has a digital display to select whatever cooking fourth dimension (in 30-minute increments) yous wishing together with then it automatically changes over to warm when the time's up. Oval pots are groovy because yous tin stick a whole roast inwards in that place horizontally but yous tin likewise build soups or stews inwards them.

I've been trying to avoid grocery shopping--last calendar week to avoid Thanksgiving crowds together with this calendar week to effort to purpose upwardly to a greater extent than or less ingredients I already have--and had a packet of stew meat together with a ton of potatoes (it was cheaper at Aldi to purchase 10 lbs of potatoes than five when I last shopped on 11/22) on hand. I seem to live coming downward amongst a mutual depression temperature thence what meliorate means to build dinner than inwards the deadening cooker? I could create out cutting upwardly to a greater extent than or less potatoes together with onions together with and then relied on other elementary ingredients I had for flavor. I had a offend of "salad olives", a tin of stewed tomatoes I impulsed bought for 47¢ together with of course of written report a big offend of smoked paprika. In to the deadening cooker it went!

While it was cooking I was looking upwardly stew recipes (because why produce that before you build dinner??) I came across a recipe for the Cuban dish Carne con Papas (literally simply meat together with potatoes) that has beef together with potatoes along amongst a few other ingredients that seems to vary from raisins to vino but likewise oft includes olives and/or tomatoes. It's normally served amongst rice, something I never would intend to produce amongst stew, but it sounded similar a skilful means to stretch the stew out into a distich extra meals. So nosotros fired upwardly the rice cooker together with served to a greater extent than or less rice along amongst the stew. It was actually good! The stew was richly flavored but non really heavy together with the rice made it a filling meal. Sick solar daytime nutrient does non guide to live distressing food!
