Since my goal this year to simplify where possible, I have found my slow cooker to be one of my best friend in the kitchen. I have been using it at least once a week for my meals, sometimes more. This week’s meal plan for my family include 3 recipes that utilized the slow cooker starting with this Crock Pot Cashew Chicken. I must publicly thank whoever invented this wonderful device! It is AWESOME!
So my latest adventure using the slow cooker was with this crock pot cashew chicken recipe. My hubby LOVES cashews so I was hoping he would love this dish. I kept the heat on the lower end. My family doesn’t like things too hot.

Wow! I was so excited to make it …..and then, Wow! It was sooooo salty. We couldn’t eat it and had to throw it out. What a waste of food. So discouraging.
