My slow cooker is probably one of my most used appliances.
When my kids were living at home, our afternoons and evenings were so busy with after school practices and lessons. My slow cooker came to the rescue by allowing me to have deliciously cooked meals when we all returned home at the end of the day.
Things haven’t changed much for me.
True, I don’t have five kids living at home but I do work from home and am so grateful that I can still have a wonderful meal ready for my husband and I at the end of our work day.
We’ve rounded up several of our favorite and most popular Crockpot and slow cooker recipes that require very minimal prepping.
Most of these slow cooker recipes allow you to just add the ingredients to a slow cooker, set it and literally forget it until dinnertime.

I use a 1.5 quart slow cooker in our slow cooker and Crockpot recipes. For best results, use a slow cooker of similar size.

I have used one dish kitchen since my husband died eight years ago. Two years ago I moved into assisted living. We do not have stoves in our apartments as they are not allowed and they provide meals. I love cooking my own meals as it gives me more control. We are able to have a crock pot and an air fryer. Yes I have both. I love your crockpot recipes. For me it is all about options. Thank you for providing me with a way to take care of myself while having help available for the times I need it. You are an angel.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your story. It means so much to know that our recipes have been helpful to you. I’m glad you’re enjoying the crockpot recipes and that they’ve given you the options and control you need. Your message truly warms my heart—thank you! ❤️

Do you have any recipes that are suitable for vegans?
Hi Dina,
Yes, we do. If you type “vegan” in the search bar you should be able to see the ones we have. Several of our recipes can be modified to be vegan. For example, for the slow cooker Red Beans and Rice, leave out the sausage, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and omit the butter.
Hope this helps a little.
Joanie
Thank you for these wonderful recipes. I am on my own and love to cook, but reluctant to make my favourites since the usual recipes make way to much
