Celebrating a Blogiversary with Slow Cooker Applesauce

Everyone says time flies when you’re having fun and it couldn’t be more true for me this past year. Starting this blog made the everyday ‘chore’ of cooking fun and challenged me to experiment with food combinations I might not have dreamed up without the pressure I put on myself to share creative slow cooker recipes with everyone on the interwebs.

A 'Green' Rhubarb Crumble - Make it in your slow cooker

Bright red, crisp stalks of rhubarb are available at the Farmer’s Market these days. Perfect for making rhubarb crumble, but I really didn’t want to turn on the oven while it was a humid 30°C outside, and our air conditioning was already blasting — so I cooked my first crumble in the slow cooker. We were thrilled with the results. This citrusy, rhubarb crumble was so good that we devoured it within two days!
