Slow Cooker Pomegranate Chicken
Oh my depth of flavor. Just, oh my. Pomegranate juice packs a powerful punch - both in antioxidents and in flavors.

The honey sweetens up the rich, deep pomegranate flavors, the vinegar adds a nice tang and then there's the addition of a … [Read more...]

Could this possibly be easier or more yummy? Three ingredients in your slow cooker means a hearty, warm, freezer-friendly dinner can be ready with only 5 minutes of effort.

Rice Cooker Hearty Tomato Soup
What's this about a rice cooker? Turns out, it works a bit like a slow cooker. Only a little faster. It uses less energy than cooking on a stove. And, for me, seems to make less of a mess. Try it sometime. Like with this soup. Tomato soup and grilled cheese are about as American as apple pie, right? And tomato soup seems like one of the standard things to come in to from … [Read more...]
