Rediscovering My Slow Cooker

It's official, I have fallen back in love with my slow cooker. I hadn't used it for quite a while up until a few weeks ago when I decided to make a Dal. It came out great so therefore inspired me to start using it again. Last weekend I made maple baked beans on Saturday and then my old standby of Almost Irish Stew on Sunday. Both came out great and gave me nice leftovers for the week.

It's raining today and we have a wet week ahead in the forecast so I wanted to make a soup. After debating between a black bean soup and a lentil soup, I ended up making neither and currently have the ingredients for a split pea & parsnip soup in the slow cooker for tonight. I will probably roast some brussel sprouts as well and might even remember to take pictures to share the yummy goodness.
