Usually I think to use my slow cooker in the winter, for a braise or stew or maybe some pulled pork. But I’m also finding it rather convenient in the summer too, as a way to avoid using the oven and heating up the kitchen. This chicken rice casserole recipe is designed for a slow cooker. You brown onions and chicken thighs, place in a slow cooker with basmati rice, tomatoes and stock. 2 hours later it’s done!
Have you ever tried watermelon gazpacho? It’s a cold summer soup much like tomato gazpacho, but in this case watermelon takes the place of much of the tomato. In our version, we are still using some tomato (one), so you get a little bit of tomato flavor in the soup, along with cucumber, onion, and bell pepper. Watermelon is light, juicy, and a little sweet, which is what it brings to this gazpacho.
