Hey Amy!

As many have previously read, I recently began a new day job.  All the new work things are challenging enough, then add a new city, a new life, new kitchen, new apt.  Yikes!  I have figured my way out of stress at the end of the day is my Crock Pot.  I can make just about anything in that beauty and arrive to an apartment full of tantalizing aromas.  With that said, this week I am going to share nothing but slow cooker recipes.  Let’s all get through the week with easy recipes with which to begin and end the day.

Ingredients:

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut
2 c. frozen cut green beans
1 15-oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 14-oz. can vegetable broth
1 small onion, sliced
2 tsp. Caribbean jerk seasoning
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients in the slow cooker.  Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours.  Adjust seasoning and serve with hot pepper sauce if desired.

Now I realize most of us don’t have a 5 to 6 hour work day.  Can you come home and lunch and start it?  Is there a child in your home that can begin the meal after school?  Husband or wife that works the early shift and is home early?
