To Compete Well, Eat Well: Crockpot Veggie Curry

After all the parties from the 4th of July weekend, I was left with a ton of cut veggies in my house - so the search for a new veggie recipe began. I happen to love Indian food in a way that I can't quite explain with words, so naturally, a curry came to mind. Couldn't be easier, because CROCK. POT. What a wonderful invention!

This would be a killer Fall recipe, because it is really warm, aromatic and filled with fall veggies; however, I didn't find any problem with it as a July dinner either! 

  

Fret not, carnivores! Just add chicken.
