The only veggie, I truly hated as a kid were beets.

Oh and Okra!

Just picked a 1.5 quart slow cooker that's perfect for making meals for just 2 people. Trying a tomato based beef sauce as we speak.

1/2 pound raw beef crumbled up
1 medium sweet onion chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
Some Italian seasoning and chopped basil
A couple of tsps of sugar to cut the acidity

Easy peasy.

Ever had mashed cauliflower in place of mashed potatoes? Mmmm.

Ever tried pickled beets? The only veggie I truly hated growing up was canned peas. Beyond gross.

I've had it but with carrots in it too, delicious.

No I haven't. I got rid of my taste for green peas as a teen. I had an incident where I got food poisoning eating peas out of a can and never again. If I taste the consistency my gag reflex starts up.

I have been meaning to get a slow cooker. Might pick one up next week.

They are awesome. Toss in a bunch of stuff in the morning, set it on low, and dinners ready when you get home. I should have gotten a two quart one though. The recipe I downloaded filled the 1.5 quart one to the brim.

Amazon has a number of slow cooker meals for two books that are available for free on your Kindle.

Pickled beetroot is lovely.

Hmm I will learn from your mistake and go with 2 quart then.

Been trying to get some pancetta for months as my local Asda rarely stocks it. Got some, will be making carbonara with this :cool:

Also got some faggots from the butcher, they look like little brains.
