In one dish.

Every Busy Mom Needs a Good Slow Cooker
It’s no wonder that in our busy lives the Crock Pot has become a staple kitchen item in America. I didn’t start using one until motherhood, but now I love it! I wouldn’t be without.
Not to mention in summer it is sooo nice not to have to heat the whole house up with the stove! Barbequing in great but not every night. So my slow cooker gets used all year long!
So that being said, I’ve created an amazing roundup just for you guys of 8 wonderfully delicious, healthy, fast, easy, and affordable slow-cooker meals!
