When you come home after a long day at work, wouldn't you love to have a delicious, healthy dinner all ready and waiting, filling the air with an irresistible aroma? You can–by tossing some vegetables, meat, or fish into a slow cooker in the morning and then just letting it simmer into a robust stew, light soup, or pasta sauce. Not only do these recipes require little preparation time, but each has an incredible marriage of flavors that results only from lengthy cooking.
