Fall Healthy Crockpot Recipes for Your Slow Cooker

There’s no better way to handle a busy schedule than with a slow cooker.

Recently I shared recipe ideas for busy back-to-school evenings. I gave some ideas for getting wholesome meals on the table quickly, and a slow cooker (aka Crockpot) is such a handy tool for that. 

This week I’m sharing a Crockpot recipe for every day of the week! I have the classics you would expect, like noodle dishes and soups, along with ones you might not, like chicken teriyaki.

Scroll to the bottom of this post for your collection of seven healthy slow cooker recipes. In the meantime, give this slow-cooker chicken teriyaki a look. It sounds more interesting than the Midwest comfort food you would expect from a slow cooker, but you probably have all of the ingredients in your pantry.
