Slow-Cooker Braised Artichokes with Toasted Garlic Breadcrumbs

Add these easy-to-make stuffed artichokes to your Easter dinner menu and watch how quickly they disappear. Your family will love peeling off the tender leaves, and they'll be happily surprised to find little pockets of garlicky breadcrumbs inside. For a spicy kick, add a pinch of crushed red chile flakes to the breadcrumbs.

Slow-Cooker Asparagus-Barley Risotto

Food Network Kitchen's easy slow-cooker risotto will liven up your Easter spread and lighten your cooking load. This creamy rice dish is usually made with Arborio rice, but we love it with the toothsome nuttiness (and fiber) of barley. Have your family add a squeeze of lemon for an extra pop of brightness.
