Easy Crockpot Dinners

Some call it a slow cooker, others call it a crock-pot. I call it a lifesaver. 

My crockpot is easily the best tool I have in my kitchen arsenal. All I have to do is chop up a few things the night before, put them in the pot, put the pot in the refrigerator, then take it out in the morning & put it on "Low" as I walk out the door to work. Then when I get home, back sore from bending over picking carrots all day and dirty from head-to-toe, it's nice to have one less thing to worry about. 

Below I have my tried-and-true favorites.

for the meat lover

I can't get enough of this, especially when I'm on my triathlon training schedule and hungry as a bear. I get my meat from our neighbors over at Fair Valley Farm. The quality is unbeatable. And you know what they say; once you go grass-fed, you never go back!

For the vegetarian

While we do enjoy our friends at Fair Valley, we try to do Meatless Mondays and Without Meat Wednesdays. All of the beans in this recipe really fill us up though and keep us full when we wake up for morning runs.
