Love using your slow cooker but tired of all the soups and stews? I got this.
Besides my coffee maker, my slow cooker is my favorite appliance in the kitchen. I love it more than my mixer, my blender, my grain mill, my oven… it is my favorite.
We often think of slow cookers as being something that is primarily used in the winter, but I have to tell you. You may want to think about putting to more use in the summer. How many meals can you cook without heating up the kitchen? ALL of them if you make them in the slow cooker!
I think part of the misconception about the slow cooker being for winter, is because many think all you can make in there are soups, stews, chili, etc. (Whether those are a winter food is a whole ‘nother discussion.)
Well, here’s 50 Recipes for your slow cooker, to prove that is so much more than soup.
Come back tomorrow, and learn about desserts you can make in your slow cooker.
Yes, DESSERTS!

This year, I’m giving away a classic, time-saving, stress-reducing slow cooker. This is just like the one I use all the time in the Cosmopolitan Cornbread kitchen and it even comes with the little “dipper.” A mini-slow cooker for warming sauces and dips.
