Slow Cooker Potato and Cauliflower Curry.

Some weeks just call for a set-it-and-forget-it dinner. This creamy, veggie-packed slow cooker curry checks all the boxes—warming, comforting, and mostly hands-off.

It’s loaded with potatoes, cauliflower, and spinach simmered in coconut milk and red curry paste. Serve with rice and warm naan, then finish with lime, cilantro, and a pop of pomegranate. Simple, cozy, and so satisfying.

Normally I like to keep things pretty upbeat and positive around here, but as you guys know I have been a little under the weather for the last week. Since there’s no need to sugar coat anything (because we are all human and get sick), it’s made things hard. I almost never get sick (it’s been years, in fact I can’t remember the last time), but I guess when I do, it hits me hard. I ended up spending the weekend really trying to rest up and praying for a healthy week ahead.

Thankfully I am thinking positively and feel as though I am on the mend, but I’ve got to say, slow cooker recipes like this curry save the day when one is sick. This is one of those amazing slow cooker recipes that you really do just drop in all the ingredients, forget about it, come back later, and eat. No extra steps…other than making this naan, which luckily I almost always have on hand in my freezer…unless my mom and littler sister know about it, in which case it’s literally gone in a day.

Anyway, when you do curry, you have to do naan. Everyone knows this though, right?

Well if you didn’t, now you do!

When I first set out to make this recipe, I tried to make it in the Instant Pot with beef short ribs, and not going to lie, it turned out horrible. I am still new to the Instant Pot and learning my way around it, but man this just was not good. Instead of reworking it, I gave it a week’s time, and in that time decided to take a new approach.

I don’t know about you guys, but I will forever and always love my slow cooker. It’s simple and easy and it always cooks up something good…

So I turned to my slow cooker, nixed the short ribs, added cauliflower, and just like that I had the perfect healthy curry recipe that’s comforting, warming, delicious, and requires almost no thought to make.

And if all that does not convince you, this curry is also incredibly good for us. It’s loaded with veggies like potatoes, cauliflower, and spinach, and the spices throughout the curry are bound to knock out pretty much any cold.

Um? Can you say, yes please? Clearly I will be making this tonight.

I like to serve each bowl with a scoop of rice, side of naan, and topped with lime, cilantro, and pomegranate arils.

Comfort in a bowl and seriously so good.

In other news, I spent some time with the family’s new puppy, Merle, on Saturday night and I think I have fallen hard for him.

He is the sweetest. Granted he was pretty wiped out from hiking earlier in the day, so he just cuddled with me all night well I worked…I know, I know. Such a wild Saturday night, right? But as I mentioned was trying to just take it easy and the sweet little guy not only kept me company, but kept warm too. It was freezing here on Saturday (we got snow on Friday night) and I just could not get warm. Having little Merle by my side at night was the best.

Sometimes it really is just the little things.

ps. Any suggestions for how to get Merle to get along with Snape? Or maybe I should say, how do I get Snape to tolerate Merle?

Lastly, I just want you guys to know that we are actively working on the site to get it back into tip-top shape. I’ve got my super woman mom, aka HBH’s business manager, aka the woman who gets it all done, working on the task, so fingers crossed it’s in better shape come this Friday.

The font and print page should be fixed today or tomorrow! So sorry for any inconveniences you guys might be experiencing and please be sure to comment or email me with anything you are not liking.
