Slow Cooker Chicken Bone Broth
This slow-cooked bone broth uses roasted bones and unpeeled veggies, which produces a much deeper flavor and darker color. For a lighter-colored broth, omit the roasting step and use peeled veggies. The longer this simmers, the richer it gets, however don't go longer than 48 hours as the flavor can turn bitter. Make sure about half your bones are collagen-rich, such as chicken backs, feet, or wings. Season with additional salt, if desired, upon serving.
Meadowwood Tapioca Pudding
We love pudding here. Tapioca pudding is a favorite. We can make it on Friday, and it will be completely gone by Sunday night. Eat hot, or chill and eat. It is wonderful with whipped cream on top and a handful of fresh berries if it is berry season.
Slow Cooker Chai

Indian food is one of my favorites, so when my friend made this slow cooker version for my family we were head over heels! I don't think I've had a Butter Chicken that I've liked more.

Slow Cooker Baby Back Ribs
These are the best I've had, short of the actual grilling method of course! This is a very simple recipe that I came up with a few years ago.

I'm eating them within a half-hour of getting home, and they turn out perfect every time!
