These recipes are great for the fitness buff’s, if you are seeking to drop a few pounds, or if you just want to eat a little more healthy without losing the enjoyment of taste.

My Slow Cooker Is My Savior

I know it can be hard to get in a good quality and healthy meal considering the fast paced lifestyles that we all seem to live these days. That however is exactly why it is so important, we are always on the go and we need to fuel or bodies properly.

A slow cooker is the way to go! I use mine at least twice a week and often more than that. My slow cooker is all to often my saving grace. I can load it all up in the morning, turn it on low, and head out the door to take on the long day ahead.

Then when I get home my house is filled with the aroma of a great meal ahead! The best part is that dinner is ready to go and there will be little clean up, I mean who wants to do a lot of clean up after a long day?

Plus you can cook almost everything in a slow cooker! So there is and end less variety of meals that you can make with one of these bad boys. About the only thing that I do not use a slow cooker for is seafood, and that is because it cooks rapidly in the first place.

Here Are Your Easy Low Carb Slow Cooker Recipes

So here you are, these are three of my favorite slow cooker recipes that I have gotten from Karine Losier, the Lean Kitchen Queen and the co-creator of the Metabolic Cooking Cookbook.

I have also thrown in some of the ways I enjoy pairing each of these recipes, so plug in your crock pot and let’s get going!
