I remember the time I received my first crockpot- I looked at it strangely as if it’s going to bite me. I am not the type of woman who used slow cooker back then so I didn’t know what to do with the crockpot. It was actually a gift from a friend because she knew I have a busy life. She told me what I could do with it and made me realize how much easier my life would be if I tried it. My first attempts for meals weren’t successful. Most of the time, my pasta became super soggy and my meat was often still hard (I fail to submerge all parts of the meat into the water).
The way I handled my slow cooker changed when I finally got married. My husband was the reason why I learned how to use it properly. I wanted to give him quality meals even with our busy schedules, and my only answer to that was the slow cooker meals.
As you might have heard from me for several times already, my slow cooker at home is often used. I feel like I haven’t allowed it to rest for a long time. Well, I have two slow cookers at my disposal, but both of them are often used.
Just recently, I found another recipe that I wanted to try for my family. It’s called stout chicken stew, and it’s a flavorful stew that guaranteed the votes of my family. My husband loved it and thanked my slow cooker after finishing the serving on his plate.
Sometimes he amuses himself too much. Anyway, you can find a copy of this recipe on the next page.
