Salt (to taste)

*Johnna’s tip: Don’t feel up to cooking in front of the stove for the next couple of days?? Please make use of your slow cooker! The slow cooker is amazing at reducing the actual time you have to physically spend in the kitchen. Just add ingredients from the recipe of your choice that calls for a slow cooker and leave it there to merge all the flavors creating a delicious effortless meal.
