Winter Blues and Healthy Slow-Cooker Stews

It sure is chilly out there, so what better than to stay warm with a homemade slow-cooker meal?

We love how easy the  slow-cooker is to use. Dump all of the ingredients in, walk away for 8 hours, and BOOM a hot and delicious dinner is ready! The slow-cooker is the perfect addition to your busy life, making eating a healthy and affordable meal at home extremely doable. Let’s take a look at other facts we just love about the slow cooker, while providing you with some delectable recipes along the way.

 

Maintaining a healthy diet just became much easier with the slow cooker. Skip the drive-thru and avoid that fatty McDouble because you have a slow-cooker beef and beer meal ready and waiting for you at home (this one is mouth-watering, we promise!). The slow-cooker is known to encourage you to eat more at home making eating healthier and staying on budget practically effortless. Are you getting tired of your meal plan routine? Are you wishing that tasty slow-cooker chicken pot pie could last you a few nights? Well, that slow-cooker you got there can help you to batch cook for the week! Most slow-cooker recipes contain 6-8 servings. Those additional servings mean having leftovers for the next few days and also enough to freeze for later. Do you find that you get bored and sick of the food options you currently have for your diet? The slow-cooker actually helps tenderize tough cuts of meat, allowing you to enjoy leaner types of meat such as a chuck roast. The slow-cooker brings out the flavors in food as all the ingredients simmer together in a low-heat allowing the flavors in that slow-cooker thai butternut squash peanut soup to be better absorbed.

 

The slow-cooker is not only simple to use, but it helps you stay on track with your diet goals. Imagine walking into your home to the wonderful aroma of a home cooked meal that supports your daily calorie intake just ready and waiting. Eliminate temptation by creating some palatable slow-cooker meals to get you through your next busy week!
