Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Paneer Curry

Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Paneer Curry by Alison's AllspiceI have a love hate relationship with curry.  On one hand, I absolutely love it.  It’s versatile, healthy and easy to make.  However, I don’t like most curry powders I have tried, taking curry from love to hate.  Instead, I make my own curry powder.  It requires stocking lots of spices to make my own blend.  The plus side is that I can vary the amount of each spice every time I make a batch so that the flavors vary each time.  No one curry dish will be the same as the next in my kitchen!  Check out my slow cooker sweet potato paneer curry where I tried using more whole spices!

Root Vegetables plus Brussle Sprout

Roasted root vegetables are a wonderful staple of the season.  Enjoy as many root vegetables as you can now, because soon spring and summer produce will be back.  I added one vegetable to this mix that is not a root vegetable: Brussels sprouts!  It is also a seasonal veggie, that grows best in colder temperatures, and I couldn’t make this dish without something green!
