The iFarmer has a new job, so we’ve been making an adjustment in our routine.
I did some advance planning so that our meals wouldn’t suffer, which made me wonder why I haven’t been doing menu planning all along.
The first thing I did was dust off a crock pot cookbook that Urban Dweller gifted me. It’s the “Biggest Book of Slow Cooker Recipes.”
What I love about crock pot cooking is you don’t have to follow the recipes precisely to have a perfectly wonderful meal waiting for you when you get home from work. Plus, I can make it the night before, put the crock pot in the fridge, then drop it in the cooker and switch it to low before I walk out the door.
Our first crock pot recipe this season: Mole With Chicken & Rice.
To be honest, I’m not a big fan of mole, or at least I didn’t think I was. But I happened to have all the ingredients in this recipe, so I threw it in the crock pot the night before, steamed some rice and sauteed some zukes & cilantro, when we got home and…voila, a complete meal.
And, yes, I’m now a mole fan.

I didn’t think people ate moles. They are pests not supper. Just kidding. I know what it is. Couldn’t resist the comment. I love my crock pot too. I had ham in mom’s crock pot on Tuesday. They are so easy to use.
