Our slowcooker gets a lot of work during the winter. I love the ease of it and I especially love that it will fill the house up with yummy smells all day.

This is a perfect soup for picky eaters. They can’t see the offending veggies and the flavors in the soup meld together so they can’t single a flavor out.

This sounds very interesting and really good. I will have to try it out! I love butternut squash. TFS!
Thanks for the recipe! Sounds great on a cold day. And the prep time is short:)
I’ve always been a fan of pulled pork sandwiches with the pork being cooked slowly. It’s really quite fun. Now i’m hungry again.
Love pulled pork sandwiches!
