For the past few weeks, I've been so busy with school and work that I've barely had time to think. Luckily for me, I have a slow-cooker (or "crockpot") in my cabinet that I was able to whip out for today's delicious and nutritious meal. I just prepared the ingredients for the slow-cooker, combined them, and turned on the machine. While I was at work, the slow-cooker did its magic and a warm, hearty meal was waiting for me when I returned.
