Making rice in the slow cooker

Just follow the directions on the rice for the right ratio of rice and water, and cook on low for two hours. 

This has greatly improved my dinner-making ability. 

I spend most of the early afternoon stuck at home managing school bus arrivals and the after-school routine. Some time between 4 and 5pm, though, half the time I have to hustle the kids off to whatever their extra activity is. Then we stumble home 90 minutes later, tired and hungry. I already have a handle on setting up the slow cooker in the early afternoon for the main course, but now to be able to get the rice going in the late afternoon makes things that much easier. It helps that I have multiple slow cookers.
