I love this time of year because I get to pull out my crock pot and get to cooking! There’s something about the fall weather that makes me want to fill my home with the yummy scent of something good for dinner.
The recipes I gathered for this post are all healthy in some way. You will find clean-eating, low-calorie, high-protein, paleo, and low-carb recipes. You will also find lots of kid-friendly, easy recipes you and your family are sure to love.
The crock pot allows you to cook large batches for your family or for the freezer. Even though I am living on my own, I still accidentally make soup for 10+ people, even when I try to make a small batch. What can I say? It is a gift! When I make too much, I add single-serve portions to my freezer – and I love being able to pull out a meal without having to cook.
These recipes are perfect for meal-prep as well.
Recently, I purchased a 2-quart Crock Pot, and I LOVE IT! Since the stoneware bowl is smaller than my 6-quart pot, I’m less likely to accidentally make a batch that is way too big.
The crock pot is perfect for soups and stews, but looking through these recipes, there are several new types of recipes I want to try. The Beef Teriyaki and Chicken Marsala will be in my upcoming dinner rotations. They just look too good!
Working from home, I get to enjoy the smell of dinner cooking all day long when I use my slow cooker, but when I went to the office every day, I loved tossing everything into the crock pot in the morning and coming home to a delicious dinner all ready to go.
