Weigh In Wednesday: Healthy Slow Cooking

by Joline Atkins of Slimsavers.com

It's cold.

I want warm food. Belly-lining food. Real food.

But, I'm cold.

Out comes the slow cooker.

I have some great slow cooker recipes. None of which take "cream of something-or-another" soup. But, I'll admit. My recipe pickins are slim.

My favorite slow cookin' guru is Stephanie O'Dea at A Year of Slow Cooking.

I'm always on the hunt for more, and I usually try to find them online rather than in an actual slow cooking recipe book, because more times than not I only find a handful of recipes that I will make from those books.

So, Stephanie is my "go-to".
