As a busy working mom of three kids (who is now solo parenting), life can be hectic to say the least. We’ve all felt overwhelmed with the daily duties that come along with parenting–especially now that school and activities are in full swing. Just when one meal is prepared, served and cleaned up, it feels like the next one is about to start!

Enter the slow cooker.

Being able to throw all the ingredients into one pot, hit a switch, and in a few hours return to find a delicious home cooked meal is a real life (and sanity) saver. I know I am always looking for new slow cooker recipes, so I thought I would share a few recipes created by my dietitian peers that are both delicious and nutritious!
