Slow Cooker Chicken Vegetable Stew: Foodie Friday

Slow Cooker Chicken Vegetable Stew

This has been a real transitional week weather wise here in Northern Westchester County, NY. The days get above freezing but the nights are still chilly. Spring has been raining in, and the snow is quietly disappearing. Maple sap is flowing from the trees... but I still feel like warm hearty food: chicken, leeks, cream... with a small hint of Spring: peas.

Softball season is starting soon. Life will be getting a little busier... that's when I pull out my slow cooker and I am guaranteed a warm inviting meal when I get home.

Enjoy,
Diane
