slow cooker curry.
DISCLAIMER: okay, i made this recipe for us to eat for the week, and we only ate it once. it was very filling, very healthy, and very easy to make. but it didn’t have a ton of flavor. if you like super mild food ~ try this! it just wasn’t my favorite thing i’ve ever made. and i wanted to make sure you knew the … Continue reading slow cooker curry.
