Hey Mo, this is a great idea using the slow cooker, as it take a lot of the stress out of cooking. Give your husband things to do in the kitchen, just because you are cooking does not mean that he cant help out. Relax. You have made dinner lots of times before. Preperation is the key to a good dinner. Peel and chop any veggies early on so you have more time to relax and enjoy the meal.
