Even though the forecast is for warmer temps in the coming week, these cold winter days are perfect for food prepared in a slow cooker (or Crock Pot--to use a brand name that's become the accepted name for this appliance).
Crock Pot meals are great because you get comfort food with little preparation. Many slow cooker recipes are the "dump and go" variety--just throw some stuff in the crock, turn it on and wait a few hours. To get the best results, however, there's usually a little bit more hands-on preparation needed.
And don't worry if you don't have a slow cooker recipe. Most traditional recipes that are cooked stovetop or in the oven can be fairly easily converted to the Crock Pot.
