It’s All About the February focuses on the heart with Valentines’ Day on the 14th
and the entire month being designated as American Heart Month. Celebrate both by preparing a heart-healthy meal for your special someone - in a crockpot. Since the company Rival introduced slow cookers in 1971, they have been celebrated as savers of both time and electricity. Plus, crockpot-prepared meals, because they are cooked at low temperatures for long periods, are nutritious, as the fresh meats and vegetables retain their natural juices. Here are fi ve reasons to dust off your crockpot this winter and use it to make soups, stews and entrees.
1. Although it takes all day for a crockpot to cook a meal, you don’t have to do anything except toss in the ingredients. Once you prep the pot, you can walk away until the food is done.
2. Electric slow cookers use less energy than a conventional oven. Cook in a crockpot in the winter to create hot, hearty meals. When it’s warm outside, use it instead of the stove or oven, and keep your kitchen cooler.
3. A crockpot meal is quick to clean up after. Aside from a cutting board and a knife, all you have to wash is the crockpot.
CROCKPOT CHICKEN & POTATOES INGREDIENTS:
Potatoes
1 whole chicken, skinned (4-5 pounds) 4 or 5 Garlic cloves 1 Onion, quartered 2 tsp Kosher salt 1 tsp Paprika
DIRECTIONS:
Scrub about 4 or 5 potatoes, however many will fi t on the bottom of your slow cooker. Prick with a fork, then wrap in foil. Place on the bottom of your slow cooker. If you prefer, remove as much of the chicken skin as you can. Clean out the chicken cavity and rinse the whole thing under water. Pat dry with a paper towel. Stuff the cavity with onion and garlic. In a small bowl, combine the seasonings. Rub all over your chicken. Place the chicken over the potatoes, breast side down. Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours, or low for 8 hours. When serving, spoon up some of the juice on the bottom and ladle over the chicken.

4. When you’re invited to a pot-luck supper, prepare your donation in the crockpot. Once the food is ready, leave it in the slow cooker, let it cool and bring the whole thing to the party.
5. You’ll eat fewer processed foods if you get used to cooking with a crockpot. That means you’ll eat less salt, fat and calories.
