Last week my husband and I had a long talk about my cooking skills. It’s not that I’m a bad cook, it is that I do not have the patience to cook a proper meal every night of the week. He and I are both tired of buying what we call convenience foods. He asked me if I knew of any great slow cooker recipes that we might like to try. Sadly, I was fresh out of ideas after I suggested beef stew. I know there are a lot of great recipes out there, I just don’t know what they are or how to find them.
I know if I look online at will find a great number of slow cooker recipes. The problem with this is that I simply can’t seem to remember to do it. I work online, and I spent a lot of time on my computer, so perhaps when it comes time to thinking about dinner the last thing I want to do is search through the Internet for slow cooker recipe ideas. There was one idea I had, and we are going to try it out this week. It’s not exactly the idea he was looking for however.
When I was in the grocery store last week I came upon what I might think to be the greatest slow cooker recipes ever. There, and the freezer section, was the answer to my prayers. They weren’t slow cooker recipes, but they were made for the slow cooker. There were bags in the freezer section made by companies that I was familiar with, that were meant to cook in a crock pot all day long. Everything you need for a good meal is in the bag. All you have to do is put in your slow cooker, turn it on, and let it cook all day. It’s the answer to a lazy cook’s dreams.
I bought a few of these meals, but I have yet to really look at the bag. Perhaps I am going to find that I’m not satisfied with the nutritional value of these meals. I may have to go looking for slow cooker recipes after all. I did take some time to look through some of the cookbooks I have in my house, but many of the slow cooker recipes that I found there are too complicated for me. Though I am big on taste, I am not a fancy cooking. If a recipe involves slicing and dicing for longer than 10 minutes, I am not likely to do it. I need to find slow cooker recipes that are not only easy, but are also nutritious and healthy as well. If you are looking for these yourself, make sure you do the same.
