I would like to personally thank whoever it was that invented the Crockpot. I remember my mom using hers many years ago (I still have one of her old ones), and I think it’s pretty cool that while we have all sorts of fancy, new-fangled cooking gadgets, this old standby is still going strong.
For the time-crunched (aren’t we all?), this little gem is a life-saver. Throw your ingredients in before you leave for work, turn it on and go about your day. It’s so nice to come home to the wonderful aroma after your dish of choice has percolated all day long.
Here is one of my favorite recipes for the Crockpot. Hope you enjoy!
Ingredients:
4 large chicken breasts
2 cups low sodium organic chicken broth
1 cup canned coconut milk
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
3 cups spinach or kale (or a mix of each), finely chopped
1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp Thai chili paste
2 tsp red curry powder
sea salt and ground pepper, dash of each
Throw all ingredients except kale/spinach in your slow cooker. Set timer for 8 hours. Add spinach/kale the last hour.

Tara
