Hosting a few friends this year? This year I am sharing two of my recipes from my original slow cooker cookbook "Canada's Best Slow Cooker Recipes" published back in 2001. They were both such hits over 20 years ago and are still a great choice for holiday entertaining.
A favourite recipe of ours from Emily Richards and the Best of Bridge cookbook series. We love serving this up during Oktoberfest along with some delicious pan seared pork schnitzel and pierogies or noodles. Some red cabbage dishes call for the cabbage to be coarsely chopped, but because it cooks for so long, you can chop it about 1/2-inch thick.
This sweet potato dish is a wonderful combination of sweet and smoky (from the chipotles). It is a perfect side dish to the traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinner, but is delicious any day of the week.
Bowtie pasta, also known as farfalle, means butterfly in Italian. We love how the pesto nestles into the pinched centre of the pasta for more flavour in each bite. Using bottled pesto is a great supermarket hack, or use our recipe for Small Batch Pesto when harvesting the basil.
