Comfort food and winter days go hand in hand. Especially snow days. What do you like to do on snow days? Are you out playing with your kids or are you more like me and firmly planted indoors? Full disclosure…Im not a fan of the winter or the snow. I much prefer to spend the day inside in sweats and cooking. We live in an apartment building with friends that often get together for snow days for food, drinks, and games. One thing you can be sure of is that my slow cooker will be on! My recipe for Slow Cooker Curry Chickpea and Vegetable Stew is a healthy comfort food dish that is full of flavor. It is hearty enough to eat on its own, but would also be delicious served over quinoa or your favorite rice.

Don’t have a slow cooker yet or not sure if you need one? You do! Imagine coming home every night and dinner is already made? I couldn’t live without mine

TIP: If you are looking to get a slow cooker, buy one that is programmable in the biggest size you can! Bigger is always better. You can always make less , but having the option to feed large crowds or to double recipes to freeze for a second dinner is everything! I love my All Clad 7 quart from Amazon

Two separate friends posted this picture to my Facebook page on the same day. It made me feel so good that they knew how much this would mean to me and that they thought of me when they saw this. l always think about what memories I want my daughter to have. I feel like time is just flying by so quickly and try to make the most of every day. Cooking together is one of the ways we are creating memories together. She has become a pretty good chef as well!
