Crock-pot cooking receives a bad rap sometimes. Some people think of it as lazy cooking. I think of it as efficient cooking. With most households having two working adults, it's imperative that most non-family time is managed wisely. Many crock-pot recipes take only 5 - 10 minutes to prep. It can be put into the slow cooker before work and turn into done when you come back home. When you open the threshold, you'll smell the wonderful aroma of the home-made meal wafting using your abode.

This recipe for Zesty Five Bean And Pasta Salad is ideal for any summer meal, indoors or out. Its zingy flavors would be the perfect compliment to grilled meats, and also, since the dressing is not mayonnaise-based, it supports well to high summer temperatures. It's great for busy cooks since it actually tastes best if produced in advance and refrigerated at least overnight - this permits the flavors to blend and permeate, making every bite scrumptious!
