Cuisinart 7 Cup Food Processor - Cooking Made Easy - And A Slow Cooker Recipe

Cooking is a lot of fun, but all that chopping is not! So that is why I love food processors and as Cuisinart is synonymous with food processors I though giving them a look might be a good idea. You can go to my site My Kitchen Online and have a look at the range of Cuisinart 7 Cup Food Processor I have there.

But, back to the business of cooking. I think most of us are always looking for fast and easy, but tasty recipes. It is not possible to love healthily from fast food and convenience food all the time.

This is where my slow cooker comes in. I use it almost every day. Even if I do not cook the whole meal in it, I at least cook the meat in it or any of the dishes that needs a lot of time to cook, You chuck it in the slow cooker and you’re done.

So, for today I thought I’ll give you a slow cooker recipes, I hope you will enjoy it.
