Over the weekend I bought a crockpot. I've been looking at slow cookers for a few months and finally decided to purchase a slow cooker instead of one of those 21 in 1 cooking appliances.
The slow cooker arrived and I made my first metabolic balance meal by placing all the ingredients in the slow cooker before I left for the day. When I arrived home 8 hours later, a meal was ready. How exciting it felt to have food ready to eat without having to worry about paying attention to cooking.
I tried again last night to make my lunch meal while I was sleeping. I decided to make a carrot soup recipe. The instructions for slow cooking state that vegetables work really well for slow cookers and slow cooking brings out more of the flavour. I made carrot ginger soup and threw the ingredients in before I went to bed.
When I woke up this morning, I went and checked the slow cooker and there it was, a soup ready to put into my new soup container that I purchased on Saturday (Alfi brand).
Now, as I sit at my desk, I'm sipping on warm homemade soup and feeling pretty lucky.
Go Slowcooker! Good luck everyone! I've almost reached the game goal which is pretty exciting. I seem to lose weight the same way I do everything else... in my own time :-)
