    Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage Recipe
    Ingredients:
    1 medium onion, cut into ½-inch chunks
    4 carrots, cut into ½-inch chunks
    6 red potatoes, halved
    1 (4 - 5 pound) corned beef
    rinsed 8 ounces beer (any unflavored kind will do; you can substitute water here)
    2 cups low sodium chicken stock or water
    3 large bay leaves
    1 teaspoon black pepper corns
    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    1 medium head of cabbage, cut into 2-inch wedges

    Directions:
    Place onions, carrots, and potatoes in the bottom of a large slow cooker pot.

    Rinse the corned beef and lay it over the vegetables. Add in bay leaves, pepper corns, and Dijon mustard.

    Pour beer and stock over everything. Make sure liquid covers most of the corned beef; if not, add more water or stock. Cover and cook on low setting for 8 hours.

    Add the cabbage to the slow cooker and cook until cabbage is just tender (about 30 minutes).

    Plate beef and veggies.

      Childhood Favorites from the Shine Supper Club

      My after-school snack was a sacred ritual. I sat on the carpet in my parents' bedroom at a low table, the television turned to "I Dream of Jeannie," and ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich cut into neat squares. I wasn't fussy about crusts. I just loved the sticky pairing of creamy peanut butter with syrupy golden sweetness drizzled from a honey bear in diagonals across the soft white bread. Nothing else--save for maybe apples and peanut butter in a pinch--could have made for as sweet an
