Well, you’re probably not going anywhere today – especially if you live in the Boston area. We’re in the midst of what every weatherman has dubbed the “Blizzard of 2015” – or maybe you’re still just upset Facebook went down last night. Either way, with the MTA shutting things down and much of the Northeast and mid-Atlantic in a state of emergency, many of you are at home with kids who don’t have school, dogs who want to be walked and cans of food you waited in long lines to purchase. If you’re lucky enough to live outside of this epic storm system’s grasp, it’s still January, and you’re likely craving a hearty meal just like the rest of us. Let’s face it – a slow cooker would come in real handy right now.
