One of my favorite new things is the slow cooker my husband got me for Christmas. You just throw things in and it cooks for you! Fantastic!!!Here's a recipe I made last week that was really good:
Beef & Vegetable Soup in a Slow Cooker
2 Cans (14.5oz each) beef broth
2 Cans (5.5oz each) Tomato Juice or V8
1.5 cups chopped veggies of choice (carrots, celery, onions, corns peas, potato, leeks, etc.)
1 cup chopped cooked roast beef (I used beef stew meat that was precut and raw when I threw it in; it melted in your mouth when cooked)
1/4 cup rice (white or brown)
1 tsp dried minced onion
1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
Put all the ingredients in the slow cooker and cook all day on low setting and Voila!
My husband was appreciating his own gift that night. I served it with mashed potatoes on the side, but said rice would be better next time.
Do you have any slow cooker recipes you like? I'm all about this now!

I love my crock pot too! However, a word of caution...
Even if the recipe calls for noodles, do NOT put them in until right before you eat it (cook them separately).
I cooked the noodles inside the first time I used mine, and it was horrible! The pasta looked normal but broke into goopy water particles in your mouth.
Easiest recipe ever:
-3-6 uncooked chicken breasts
-1 or 2 jars of salsa (depending on how much chicken)
Cook on low for 6-8 hours, and you get delicious shredded chicken, perfect for tacos! We often just eat it plain, with a side of cilantro-lime rice and beans. Yum!
Ooooo! What's the cilantro lime rice recipe? You made that once for us and it was sooo good! I'm totally trying that this week!
