Some Perfect Slow Cooking Favorites for April
Warm spring conditions and plenty of rain lead to one thing: mushrooms. If you're looking to take advantage of this season's crop, we recommend these Slow Cooker Garlic Herb Mushrooms.
If you're in the mood for something with a bit more protein, you could try Ful Mudammas, a traditional Middle Eastern dish of slow-cooked, in-season Fava beans. Though traditionally served for breakfast or lunch, it makes for a tasty dinner as well.
For the main course, take advantage of limes being in season by trying out this Slow Cooker Cilantro Lime Chicken. Light and cheery, this dish is best served as a taco, in either a hard or soft shell. Pair with sour cream and salsa for a full, flavorful experience.
Finally, with asparagus in season, it is the perfect time to try them in the slow cooker. Whether you prefer lemon-garlic or butter-garlic, we know you'll enjoy the convenience of tossing everything into your slow cook and hold oven and turning your attention elsewhere.
