    Get-togethers can be a juggling act, especially when you are in command of the kitchen. Prepping the entrees, keeping an eye on the kids, while ensuring things down scorch on the stovetop can be a challenge. One keen way around this is to use the slow cookers for the side dishes. Simply combine the ingredients into the pot, turn on and walk away. So many options are now available, from Jalapeno Popper Creamed Corn and Slow Cooker Polenta to Apple Pie Baked Beans. Seeing that dinner rolls can be prepared in a crockpot was a game-changer. Take those Crockpots out of the pantry and use them for the sides. Easier meal prep means more family time.
