Slow Cooker Lentil and Kielbasa Stew

To save time in the morning, prep and chop all the ingredients for this stew the night before so all you have to do is toss them in your slow cooker and turn it on before heading out the door. Serve with crusty bread for a simple, hearty meal.

Marinated Goat Cheese

Grilled Cheesy Sweet Potato Stacks

Slow Cooker Classic Beef Stew

This is so tasty that you'll want to rely on it again and again. The dried mushrooms add tons of flavour, and you can choose whichever variety you like best.

Scallop, Sweet Pepper and Zucchini Salad

This colourful salad, topped with sweet, plump scallops, is perfect for a casual alfresco dinner. For a succulent, golden crust, pat the scallops dry before searing. Serve with flatbread, pita wedges or a crusty baguette.

Red Wine Cranberry Jelly

For a stunning centrepiece, use a traditional jelly mould for this wine-infused retro jelly. (A deep bowl will also work well.)

Sun-Dried Tomato Meat Loaf

A classic favourite gets updated with shiitake mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes. Leftovers make great sandwiches.

Slow Cooker Tender Beef and Tomato Ragù

Thanks to being cooked very slowly for a long period of time, the meat in this ragu is fork tender and soaks up all the tomato  sauce around it. Serve over pasta with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil for a delicious meal.
