I just got the Costco Grocery Price List updated. There are now over 180 food products on my list.

Slow Cooker Quinoa
I’m a sucker for my slow cookers. And yes, I have multiples:). I still haven’t given in to the ways of the pressure cooker. After cooking rice repeatedly in the crock-pot, I wanted to try quinoa in the slow cooker as well. So for about the last decade I’ve been cooking quinoa in the slow…
