A few days ago, I purchased chicken thighs. Wasn't quite sure what I was going to make with them. So today, I broke out the trusty slow cooker. This was given to me as a Christmas gift and is perfect for hosting parties.

I was able to have meatballs in one, sauce in another and veggies in the last—and all on different temperature settings! Anyway.....

I just basically opened my spice cabinet on this recipe (made this one up as I went along....all about the scents produced, so nothing is measured):

Chicken thighs

Ginger powder

Ground cloves

Anise seeds

Cumin

Pumpkin pie spice

Crushed red pepper

Curry powder

Red & yellow lentils

Red & green bell pepper

Carrots

Garlic cloves

Dumped it all into a pot on the stove for about 10-15 mins and poured into the slow cooker. Not sure how long I will let it cook. It's about 7pm and I will let it cook on high for a few hours and turn it off when I go to bed. I have volleyball in the afternoon, so I will likely let it sit out and let it cook in the morning until it's time to head out. We'll see how this one turns out.

Until then, I'm enjoying my water (one lime, muddled basil and mint leaves and water).
