It’s winter time, which means ‘tis the season for hearty meals—like soups and stews. Actually, apparently Mother Nature has made a liar out of me. The calendar may read December, but here in Ohio it feels like anything but. With the warm, rainy, days we’ve had recently it feels more like April than anything else.
This past weekend, pretending that it was winter, I hauled out the Crock-Pot. Crock-Pots (or slow cooker for those of you with models from other brands) seem to be perfectly designed for winter meals. You can get them started, head out into the cold for some exercise or other event, and then return to a ready and waiting meal.
