summer slow cooker recipes

Nothing like sitting down at the table and seeing something gorgeous. Like this.

 

This is a delicious meal. It’s a balance of sweet and nutty. It has beautiful flavors, and it looks beautiful on the plate. I love colorful food, and this is definitely a vibrant plate of food.

I like this Moroccan Chicken because I love having a wide variety of ethnic flavors in my menu. I love it because it’s a slow cooker recipe (of course!) and that cuts down the time I spend working in the kitchen. This recipe uses an affordable cut of meat, so it will save you a few pennies too.  And it’s made from wholesome ingredients, so it’s good for you too.

Pineapple Upside Down cake. That buttery, sweet dessert that we all love.  This one’s made healthier and you can eat it with no regrets!

 

 

I’ve always loved pineapple upside down cake. It’s one of the things that just seems to go just right with summertime. I love how cake-y and buttery it is. But it’s not always the most healthful of desserts. Let’s be honest: I usually make it with cake mix. It’s good, but if you are looking for a simple recipe that doesn’t come in a box, this is a wonderful one.

It’s whole grain, but it’s still sticky and moist. And it has all the flavors you’ve always loved in the classic Pineapple Upside Down Cake, but it’s much healthier for you.  Plus you make it in the slow cooker. That makes it super easy and the perfect dessert for keeping the kitchen cool on a hot day.

Colorful food is the best. But who said it couldn’t be healthful, too?

 

Healthy food is sometimes given a bad name. But food can be beautiful and healthful…and most of important, delicious!  That’s what this recipe is all about.

These chicken bowls are absolutely delicious. They are bright and colorful and full of great flavors. Cauliflower rice is a great way to get more veggies into your diet. And if you are a bit tired of rice, this is a fun twist to try.

The good thing about this recipe is you won’t mind the leftovers at all. They make a perfect lunch the next day!

Chicken drumsticks! Who doesn’t love them? They are one of the classic foods Americans around the country.

I like to serve drumsticks. They are a meal that is easy to serve, goes with a lot of different sides and that my family always enjoys. The nice thing about these Teriyaki Chicken Drumsticks is that they are super simple to make and they are paleo friendly. There’s no hidden, less-than healthful ingredients in these guys. And look at how gorgeous they look, right out of the slow cooker?

I like to serve teriyaki chicken with a nice side of fried rice. I think hawaiian or asian coleslaw would be a great compliment to the meal, too.
