This easy way to make risotto is totally hands-off. The cheesy, creamy rice dish cooks only 1 hour in the slow cooker. Cauliflower, sweet peas and Parmesan cheese make this a favorite comfort food – and our most-requested birthday dinner! This recipe was originally published here in 2012 – and has become one of our…

Slow Cooker Chicken Curry with Sweet Potatoes
Just 6 ingredients to toss into a slow cooker. The result is super-flavorful and the yummy smells will have your neighbors stopping by… I love a good two-ingredient recipe. And when time is really, really tight, I throw 1 pound of chicken and 1 jar of salsa in the slow cooker and rush out the door. But when…
Slow Cooker Mushroom Bolognese
Thick, rich and savory sauce – thanks to mushrooms not meat – Slow Cooker Mushroom Bolognese! “Joyful food columnist. Disastrous home cook.” This doesn’t sound like your typical food writer but it’s the Twitter description of Kellie Hynes, a columnist for Sauce Magazine. Her stories of adventure and misadventure in the kitchen leave me hungry for more. As…

African Peanut Stew with Quinoa
Ironically, our recent move from the city to the country has made me surprisingly aware of how food trends predicted for 2013 are already impacting on our lives! (Ironic because, of course, most Americans aren’t moving to the country – but more on that in a minute.) This month’s Recipe ReDux theme was to take…
Slow Cooker Asian Meatballs
I’ve never been a meatball-making expert – maybe it’s because I don’t have an Italian grandmother. (Grandma is Alsatian, but she makes a mean lasagna.) I could never quite master the art of browning meatballs evenly on all sides. Frying them yielded meatballs which were slightly charred on one side because I couldn’t get all…
