Ok, I know, a slow cooker (or crockpot)- what?! Hear me out. This blog is all about living your best life, and my slow cooker does just that. A slow cooker helps anyone make healthy meals without much effort. Seriously, you DO NOT have to know how to cook.
I just made chicken and it was so easy and so tasty. Get this- chicken breasts, green salsa, some cumin and voila…. Awesome chicken to put on salad greens, flour tortillas, you name it! Once it cooks for 3 or 4 hours on high, you just pull out of the slow cooker, shred with forks and your good to go. And, if you make it on a Sunday, you can make enough to have some lunches for the week.
Taking lunch to work is a great way to save some money ($10/day x 5 days = $50/week …. I will leave this here for your consideration) and eat healthy.

Healthy, easy, and good for the pocket book. See? Slow cookers for the win!
There are a ton of recipes online. And, you can purchase one relatively inexpensively at amazon like this Hamilton Beach model.
I made a kick bootie pumpkin turkey chilly from Gina Homolka’s cookbook Skinnytaste: Fast and Slow. My boyfriend couldn’t get enough. Find her book on Amazon here and her recipes here.
Go forth and cook slow… it’s awesome,
