Give yourself the gift of a new you this year.
Whether you’re feeling an extra roll around your middle or too much jiggle under those arms, you know it’s time to get moving and make change happen. Healthy and lasting weight loss begins in the kitchen, so here are 21 slow cooker dinners to lose last year’s weight gain.
A slow cooker is your best friend when you want to create a slimmer look and feel. For starters, it takes the hustle-n-bustle out of preparing a meal after you, your partner, or kids arrive home from work or school. Simply load the slow cooker in the morning, and then let your healthy recipe cook all day. You’ll come home to a meal that’s warm and ready to serve.
The homemade slow cooker dinners here also take away the temptation to give into takeout or processed dinners. Using whole or minimally processed ingredients, you can feel good about serving a recipe that’s not loaded up with ingredients that will keep those extra pounds that crept onto your waist, hips, and thighs last year.
