This time of year reminds me that some of my favorite things in life are cooking and eating healthy, I could also add in there being lazy!
Sadly, they’re often mutually exclusive because, well, takeout. Let’s be honest, takeout is simply convenient and that’s a big part of its appeal.
But then I remember it is possible to make my Crockpot do all of the cooking for me. I forget how easy it is to take the over salted, processed ingredients out and bingo—nutritious food with no effort. Now if you are feeling extra lazy one day you can still make a homemade clean slow cooked meal! How cool is that?!
Here is my 10 favorite, totally clean slow cooker meals.
