We’re all guilty of it. We play appliance favorites. Some months it’s the juicer. Some months its the Kitchen Aid mixer or the pizza stone. It seems I can’t balance my attention and use of my kitchen tools evenly. If they were children, I would have some problems to deal with.
Thankfully, they are objects and can not notice or care — but I do. My crock pot sat unused last year until January when I finally brought it down off the shelf for the first time. I think of all the easy, healthy meals I missed making for myself last winter.
This year, I’m making it a point to bring out the slow cooker early and use it often throughout the months to come. Here are a few slow cooker meals I’ve tried in the past that I can completely recommend. I’ll post a few of my own in the coming weeks, but enjoy these deliciously easy 10-ingredient or less options.

3. Healthy Slow Cooker Chicken Potato Soup
Okay, this one has 11 ingredients, but I leave out the bacon to make it a healthier meal. You could use turkey bacon, but then you’re back to 11 ingredients which is kind of breaking the rules here…

4. Slow Cooker Balsamic Brussels Sprouts
Brussels sprouts are super popular right now — and for great reasons. When cooked just right, they’re tasty and yet great for you. Not too many foods can claim both of those titles.

5. Skinny Slow Cooker Chicken Taquitos
Order these at a restaurant and say sayonara to your weeks worth of dieting. An average order at a fast casual restaurant can run you upwards of 800 to 1000 calories. Make them at home and save half of that.
