Throw me in a pot and cook me good

Posted in chicken, dutch oven, easy, root vegetables, slow cooker on February 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

This is healthy, warm, comforting, and just too easy!
We have made this in a dutch oven outside in a fire and in a slow cooker, and of course the dutch oven was better, but not necessarily practical all the time.
New potatoes – scrubbed and chopped
Carrots – scrubbed/peeled and chopped
Onions – chopped

SAD Herbs

Seasonal affective disorder affects more than just people. Every year, about this time, my plants get Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Starting afresh.

I like this better than blogger, don’t know why, but here is the intro:
