Get a crock pot (big one if you can find a good deal) with a timer. Buy some chunky vegetables and a roast. Cut the vegetables into chunks, put a layer on the bottom of the pot. Put the roast in. Fill in the spaces with the rest of the chunks and whatever spices you like.

Turn it on. Go to work. Come home. Eat. Eat leftovers tomorrow. Half hour of chopping vegetables gives you two or three days of food, depending. Chop the veggies the night before and refrigerate if you like.

My favorite vegetables so far: red potatoes, shallots, garlic, leeks, carrots, yellow squash, zucchini squash, apples, peppers. I look at all the vegetables in the store now.

I cut my vegetables with a cheap steak knife.


Good advice! I recently moved out and I'm definitely considering buying one of those timed slow cookers. A lot less input for the tasty output.
