| Tip of The Week |
Slow cookers are great for people who want to eat healthy, but just can't find the time. They are practical, easy to clean and almost fool proof. Use the slow cooker to make regular family meals, but also use it on nights you have to entertain company. If your slow cooker has a removable insert try assembling everything the night before, refrigerating it overnight and then placing the insert back in the slow cooker and turning it on before you leave for work!
