I’m having a complete love affair with my slow cooker this winter season. Seriously. I have been using it almost daily.

Now this is a great way to use up those lingering veggies and/or the leftover rice from the night before, although you can even sub cooked brown rice or quinoa here.

Just throw it right into your slow cooker and let the veggies soak up that homemade teriyaki sauce for a few hours. That’s it. It’s just way easier/quicker/healthier than takeout – duh!
