Slow Cooker Tip: for easier cleanup I use these plastic bags that line the slow cooker and you can cook in for hours. Once you are ready to clean just remove the lining and throw it away. No scrubbing or soaking overnight, its quick and simple. I highly recommend getting them. You can find them here!

Slow cookers even work well for someone who is new to cooking or doesn’t cook all the time. Using a slow cooker gives you the ability to make healthy, delicious, home cooked meals!
I mean you can make anything like soup, meats, vegetables, desserts, can be cooked in a slow cooker.
