This amazing round up of 20 Healthy Slow Cooker Dinners makes busy weeknights so much easier! Includes beef, chicken, and pork recipes with minimally processed ingredients.
What do you do when the worst hurricane in recorded U.S. history has devastated homes and lives all around you, yet leaves you virtually untouched? You pray, you donate what you can do without, you open your home, and you cook meals to share with those who need them.
My family and I are so grateful to have been spared from Harvey’s destruction, but we’re grieving with many friends who weren’t. And, of course, I’m cooking. 🙂
Whether you’re looking for an easy recipe to share with a friend in need, or just looking for a few low maintenance dinner ideas for busy weeknights, you’ll love these 20 healthy slow cooker recipes!
They’re made from mostly whole or minimally processed foods – as always, I encourage pastured meats, full fat organic (or raw) dairy, and homemade condiments if you can’t buy “clean” versions. Otherwise, few substitutions should be needed here. Just add a cooked vegetable or a big salad and dinner is served!

Yum yum yum! I love Roundup posts because it’s like looking at several recipes all at once. Everything looks delicious! I’ll have to buy another slow cooker but once I get it, I’m going to start with the slow cooker lasagna! It sounds super good!

Yes – you really MUST get another slow cooker asap! 🙂
