We're going to let you in on a little secret. We love the summer as much as anyone else—tomatoes! Sunshine! Outdoor cocktails!—but our favorite time of year? Maybe you should sit down for this. It's... winter. Blustery, chilly winter.
Because there's nothing cozier than coming home to a big pot of something warm and delicious. So in the spirit of winter (it's coming, after all), our latest recipe contest theme, Your Coziest Slow-Cooker Meal, is all about extra-comforting meals you can set and forget. We want that slow cooker recipe you can't stop thinking about year-round—the one you make on the first properly cold day of the year, and keep on repeat until you can't help but admit it's March. (A side of pajamas and a soft blanket are encouraged but not strictly required.)
