Victoria Beckham can always get people talking. Try as we might, we will never know what “really wanna zig-a-zig-ah” means, and this week she celebrated turning 44 by posting a photo of her birthday cake to Instagram, prompting the entire world to say, “Wait, that’s not a cake!”

I’m grateful that the British royal family exists, because it allows the rest of us to procrastinate at work by wondering, “What does the Queen do all day?” When de facto British cultural ambassador and famed cartoon pig, Peppa Pig, considered that question, she came to the conclusion that because a queen can do whatever she wants, queens must spend all their time eating chocolate cake.
It turns out she’s not that far off, because a former British royal chef says Queen Elizabeth is a tremendous fan of chocolate — and chocolate cake in particular. Queens, they’re just like us!

Are you surprised there’s someone left in the world who hasn’t been to Costco? Well, my husband and I may have been the last two. (Turns out even our children have gone with other people.) To be honest, we aren’t big bulk shoppers. We don’t have a lot of storage space, and I’m afraid of commitment, whether it’s to one brand of cereal or anything else. But I keep hearing good things about Costco and finally decided it was worth a try.
After I promised my husband he could act silly and I wouldn’t get mad, he agreed to go, and I braced myself. While we probably won’t be there once a week, there were some pretty great deals and a few happy surprises, so we’ll definitely be back.
Here’s what we learned while we were there.

Veggie burrito bowls are a one-stop shop, delivering the best part of a burrito — the filling — without the fuss. With the slow cooker, this one-pot meal is completely hands-off, easily filling in for Meatless Monday or Taco Tuesday. Fill your bowl with tender brown rice, smoky pinto beans, fresh veggies, and a dollop of citrusy sour cream, but make sure to leave room on top for your favorite burrito fixings.
This recipe will teach you how to use your slow cooker’s constant and gentle heat to cook veggie burrito bowls. While your first instinct might be to chop the vegetables, sprinkle in the rice, pour on the broth, and stir, this recipe shows you how simple strategic steps guarantee the vegetables cook evenly while the rice plumps.
With smart use of your slow cooker, the rice, beans, and a crisper drawer full of vegetables cook in one pot without so much as a second glance until it is time to scoop and serve.

One of my favorite meal planning and prep strategies right now is to front-load the early days of the week with dinners that make lots of leftovers for later in the week. And my slow cooker is the best tool for getting this done: I can make a big batch of soup or cook a big roast while I’m at work on Monday, enjoy it for dinner that night, and then parcel it out for work lunches or use it up in dinner dishes the rest of the week.
These are 10 of my favorite slow cooker recipes that make Monday meal prep magic.

Let me tell you how risotto saved my meal plan just this week: I had planned red beans and rice for dinner, only to realize that I had forgot to grab both red beans and basmati rice at the grocery store. Scrounging my pantry I realized that I could still use the peppers and sausage I planned for this dinner to make a risotto without having to run to the grocery store.
Every member of my family devoured this risotto and some even asked for seconds. Even without peppers or fancy improvisation, here’s how risotto is the ultimate weeknight dinner for families.

Wrapped up in foil and packed in that round cardboard box, wedges of Laughing Cow cheese feel like such a dainty little snack. As I kid, I felt like such an adult opening up a wedge and spreading it over a plate of crackers like they do in the commercials. But in case you missed it (I sure did!), there isn’t just one kind anymore. In fact, there are a whole slew of flavors — more than there are days of the week!
On a mission to save your snack break, I sampled them all. So the next time you’re craving a creamy, cheesy snack with a red cow on the label, you’ll know where to turn.

Anytime busy weeks roll around, or when I really just want a big helping hand with dinner, I make sure to slot a slow cooker recipe or two into my weekly meal plan. Unlike the weekend when I know I’ll buzz in and out of the kitchen, on weeknights I rely on recipes I can prep the night before or in the morning, dumping everything in the slow cooker so I can come home to a meal that’s just about ready to hit the table.
These 10 recipes do just that, and are light, bright, and perfect for spring.
