Cooking – The Lazy Way
  1. Alright, this is my kind of cooking — no rush, no panic.
Step 1 – Chop, Drop, Forget
  1. Rough chop everything. Don’t fuss. Uneven cuts? Great.
  2. That's the flavor.
  3. Toss onions and garlic first. Then everything else — carrots, potatoes, peppers, beans, all of it.
  4. Pour in tomatoes and broth.
  5. Sprinkle your spices.
  6. Give it one lazy stir.
Step 2 – Let It Be
  1. Now, put the lid on.
  2. Set to low for 6–7 hours, or high for 3–4.
  3. That’s it. No stirring, no checking every five minutes.
  4. Walk away.
  5. Go live.
  6. Watch a movie. Call someone. Do laundry.
  7. The crockpot’s got your back.
  8. When you come back, your house?
  9. It’ll smell like something between heaven and nostalgia.
Step 3 – Stir and Taste
  1. Open it slowly.
  2. That first puff of steam… man, it hits differently.
  3. Stir gently. Taste.
  4. A bit more salt? Go for it.
  5. Too thick? Add a splash of broth.
  6. Too thin? Let it sit uncovered for a while.
  7. And yeah, a squeeze of lemon right before serving — chef’s kiss
