Welcome to Multi-Cooker Monday.......

Sue of Palatable Pastime invites us each month to join her in sharing recipes that use small kitchen appliances.....slow cookers, air fryers, instant pots, dehydrators, smart ovens, sous vide, etc.   I rely on my small kitchen appliances all the time so I'm happy to get new ideas.  Let's see what was cooked up this month........

• Air Fryer Lamb Chops with Roasted Carrots and Mustard Thyme Sauce from Karen's Kitchen Stories
• Green Masala Meat Pulao - Pressure Cooker from Sneha's Recipe
• Instant Pot Mushroom and Red Wine Sauced Short Ribs from Making Miracles
• Instant Pot Slow Cooked Chipotle Corn Chowder from Magical Ingredients
• Mexican Style Rice (Instant Pot) from Palatable Pastime
• Slow Cooker Sunday Gravy from A Day in the Life on the Farm

I used to love nothing better than to have a lazy Sunday where I could stay home, put some sauce onto the stove and let it slowly simmer all day long while I putzed about the house.  This is commonly referred to as Sunday Gravy.  

Then COVID struck and for over a year now we have been staying home, putzing and have all the time in the world to cook because life as we knew it ended.  Slowly folks are getting back to work and the world is starting to turn again.  And then there are all of the folks who are first responders or in the medical field who have been busier than ever while the rest of us lament not being busy enough.  The grass is always greener on the other side......

So as life returns to normal and for those folks who are still busier than all get out....I have a Sunday Gravy recipe just for you.
