Tips

  • For accurate serving sizes, weigh your empty slow cooker before starting, then again after everything is done, and divide the difference by 10.
  • Store everything frozen; no need to thaw, just microwave with 2-3 tablespoons of milk or water for 3-5 minutes.
  • Blend cottage cheese for 2-3 minutes to ensure it's completely smooth; heating it slightly can help.
