The credit for each recipe photo goes to the respective blogger listed below.

To be honest, my favorite kitchen appliance is my trusty slow-cooker, which I affectionately refer to as my crock-pot because I’m not fancy like that. Regardless of whether or not you have kids, life can get busy, and planning dinner every night can be stressful. Although I’ve tried meal planning and sticking to it, I never seem to follow through. However, using my crock-pot has been a game-changer. You can even prepare meals ahead of time and freeze them, then simply dump them into the crock-pot in the morning – but that’s for the next level. The beauty of the crock-pot lies in the fact that you can dump all the ingredients in and forget about it. In a few hours, you’ll have a delicious and flavorful meal. And the best part? You typically won’t have to worry about cleaning up the kitchen after dinner since all the prep work was done in the morning.
