I love my slow cooker. It makes cooking so easy - just plop all the ingredients into the pot in the morning and have a home cooked meal in the evening without any work or fuss. I like to break mine out on those days when I have back-to-back commitments all day, and am running my kids to and from activities. We had a surge of "cold" weather in sunny SoCal recently, so I was inspired to whip up a batch of chili. It was a hit with the family. I used primarily all of my ingredients from my favorite store, Trader Joe's, and spiced things up with some favorites from Penzey's Spices.
