Hooray for more crockpot recipes in 2015! I’ll never stop posting about my crockpot since that’s just about all I can cook with. It was gifted to us by my sister-in-law when we moved out and I’m getting good use out of it.

I tried to be a little more adventurous by attempting chicken tikka masala. I’m not even sure what it’s supposed to taste like, so there’s that.

I think it turned out…. okay. Definitely not my favorite and I don’t think I’ll be trying this recipe again. Oh well, at least I tried. No harm done (except that the DH had to eat this for dinner).

Since I’m not a fan of this dish, I’ll just link to the recipe. It could just be me– maybe I’m not a fan of chicken tikka masala to begin with? You can find it over at Table for Two Blog.

You know what I love most about slow cooking? The entire process of letting all of the ingredients sit together and having the flavors mesh over time. The end result is a balanced tasting meal. Not only that, but the crockpot does all of the work for you. You literally don’t have to do a thing while your meal is cooking.

The process is similar to that of Fiji water. Their water starts out as a cloud, comes down as rain, is filtered by volcanic rock, collects, and then is bottled for you to enjoy. It’s a lengthy process, but the end result is worth it.

There isn’t much for you to do in this recipe, you just have to wait. Patience is the key, my friends! Just like fine tasting water, the earth does most of the work for delicious tasting water. All you have to do is wait until the end and bottle it.

I came up with this recipe because I wanted a delicious tasting Mexican meal without having to separately make all of the toppings. I didn’t want to spend all day in the kitchen cooking the beans, making the beef, and chopping the tomatoes for the salsa. I wanted everything to be done at once and ready to eat at the same time. By choosing to serve the mixture over rice instead of wrapping it in a tortilla, that saved me from messy eating.
