What a year, you guys!
Will I ever stop saying that? I cringe to think about how many posts I’ve started this way… but, for real!
I originally rounded up these amazing recipes back in the Fall. That’s usually the time that I’m wishing for some cozy, easy and healthy crockpot meals. I start searching Pinterest, filling up my Crockpot Creations board, and salivating over these easy no-fuss meals.
Well, this year was pretty out of the ordinary, wasn’t it? I can’t believe it’s been an entire year of being stuck at home now.
So, life happened, my favorite space suffered a bit in the wake of distance learning, work, and now a snowmobile accident resulting in a husband home with a broken leg – as if we needed just a bit more right at the one-year pandemic milestone!
Well, you know what? I think Spring is an even better time for some easy and healthy crockpot meals!
I mean, let’s think about it… We were inside all winter with plenty of time to cook. Now we’re seeing the sunshine and itching to get outside for some fresh air. This is the perfect time to fire up the slow cooker in the morning and have a healthy meal ready for us at dinnertime.
Slow Cooker Options
I’m such a big slow cooker fan that we actually have two. First, we have an round Crockpot and the second is a Hamilton Beach oval slow cooker.
They’re great, but you can’t beat some of the newer ones.
Crockpot has a programmable slow cooker with a digital countdown timer, which looks great!
This Crockpot is great for travel with the locking lid. It also is programmable.
Quite possibly the fanciest slow cooker I’ve ever seen, this Hamilton Beach slow cooker is programmable with an attached thermometer and locking lid. Sounds like it can do so much and it’s very reasonably priced!
Finally, some slow cookers are so pretty! I love the color of this Black + Decker slow cooker. I can’t get over how cute this Disney Pixar slow cooker is! Last, this Presto slow cooker is great for tailgating because it looks like a cooler and has a great handle and little spot for writing what the dish is.
