If you have not tried cooking with a slow cooker yet, then I have a question for you. What are you waiting for?
Crock pots are very convenient and easy to use. The meal preparation is also quick. The cooking will take long, but you do not need to be constantly involved as there is no risk of burning the food. The temperature is very low, so the meat will not burn.
But the best about a slow cooker is that you can prepare your meal early in the morning or the previous night, then go on about your day, go to work, or drive your kids around, and when you come home late in the afternoon or even early evening, supper will be already cooked for you. It is wonderful, it is like having a kitchen assistant, and you do not need to pay a salary.
I want to share a delicious and healthy recipe with you.
You will need 6 chicken thighs, skin removed. You will then need 1/2 pound of white mushroom, thinly sliced. You will also need 2 medium sweet potatoes and 2 medium potatoes peeled and cubed. You will then need 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced and 6 large shallots, peeled and halved. You can also use 4 cloves garlic if you wish. YOU will also need 1 cup dry wine, or if you do not like cooking with wine use some white grape juice. To season you can sue 1/2 tsp of dried rosemary and salt and pepper to taste.
Combine all ingredients except the vinegar in the slow cooker. Cover and cook. Cooking time: 5 hours in low or until potatoes are tender. Before serving stir in vinegar.
Enjoy it!
Healthy Slow Cooker Recipes - Chicken and Sweet Potato Stew
When I did not have any children, cooking was not my priority, so I just got home from work and decided on what to eat for supper. Since having children, my days got shorter, and I am always looking for ways to simplify the cooking duties. I now enjoy cooking. My cooking time has been reduced and I can use my time more productively.

With America in an obesity epidemic, many people are looking at healthier dishes. Another thing to consider is how digestible foods are, how low in fat they are, and what they provide nutritionally. Rabbit stew is one of those recipes that has fallen by the wayside, only to be brought back because it is simple and nutritious. This handy recipe for rabbit stew is simple, full of flavor, and the stew is a perfect meal anytime. Toss in a few potatoes and carrots and you can serve it all on its own without any side dishes as a one pot meal.
Rabbit actually provides the lowest cholesterol levels of any meat on the market. It is also lower in fat than chicken, beef, pork, or turkey. At the same time, it provides more protein per mouthful than any of the others. According to the US Department of Agriculture, rabbit is the most nutritious meat known to humankind. It is especially well suited to those on special diets because it is very easily digested. Rabbit has only 795 calories per pound; much lower than chicken's 810, turkey's 1190, beef's 1440 and pork's 2050 calories. Domestic rabbit is also 100% white meat. It has a finer grain than chicken, though you can substitute rabbit in most chicken recipes. Some grocery stores carry rabbit; otherwise, you can get it from specialty markets or direct from the farmer.
Rabbits have been used for food since man first learned to hunt. In ancient Rome, they were kept inside walled gardens so they would be available for meals whenever they were needed. They lend themselves well to moist cooking methods like the crockpot because they are so low in fat. They tend to dry out too much when roasted. The crockpot is perfect as it keeps the moisture all around the meat. A stew brings out the most nutrition through the long, slow cooking process. It is a nourishing comfort food that goes well with crusty bread, potatoes, or rice. Cornbread makes a nice side for stew, also. This simple recipe takes minutes to put together; all you have to do is turn on the crockpot and come home to dinner. You could just eat it as is with some bread to sop up the sauce and a fresh salad.
