As the seasons shift into the colder months, our meals should shift in the inverse direction. When the weather is cold, we must warm our bodies from the inside out which is why nourishing fall recipes like soups, stews, roasts, and casseroles are so popular this time of year. These types of meals typically rely on seasonal vegetables and herbs that provide the nutrients our bodies and immune systems crave and for women, the benefit is two-fold, as keeping your womb warm is essential for healthy fertility and PMS-free cycles.
Slow cooker recipes are my go-to, especially on days I teach late. It's so nice to come home to a meal that is 95-100% ready to go because it’s been simmering all day. Another perk is these recipes typically yield large batches that are perfect leftovers throughout the week.
Choosing Non-Toxic Cookware
Finding a non-toxic slow cooker was a priority for me and I love the quality of stainless steel so 360Cookware was an obvious choice. Their high-quality cookware products are made in the USA and while they are an investment, they will last a lifetime.
Another versatile feature is that the stainless steel pot is both stovetop and oven-safe which is perfect for searing meats before slow cooking or broiling for that perfect crisp at the end. When you’re ready to start slow cooking you just place the pot back on the base and turn it on.
My 6-quart slow cooker from 360cookware is my most-used kitchen appliance!
Whether you rely on standard slow cooker recipes, cozy crockpot recipes, or an Instant Pot at home, you have to try these options. They are all tried and true repeat meals in my house and bookmarked in my recipes folder. Have a favorite slow cooker recipe? Drop the link in the comments!
