[quote=Anonymous]I agree that chicken is not the best meat to cook in a slow cooker. Even chicken thighs do not taste good. I use my slow cooker loads in the winter. I find it's good for things like chili, bolognese, beef stews and pork dishes. Sometimes lamb can dry out a bit if the pieces aren't large enough.

But I don't think a slow cooker is the answer to your problems. I don't really find that it saves too much time. I'm a big fan of my rice cooker and like to cook stir fries which are very quick and popular in my family. You can use precut veggies from the salad bar, keep sliced meat in the freezer, and prepare a nice sauce the night before.

Quick pasta dishes are good too. I sometimes just make spaghetti with a good quality bought sauce and some shredded percorino on top. You can serve this with a salad. Spaghetti carbonara is another quick favorite. We also like to eat fish and veggies with bread for starch. Fish is so quick to pan fry, and you can steam the veggies in the microwave. I make my own herb butters and keep them in the freezer to add different flavors to fish and meat.
