Healthy Slow Cooker Meals, 2nd Edition

The Healthy Slow Cooker, 2nd Edition by Judith Finlayson

About The Book:

The first edition was incredibly successful having sold close to 95,000 copies! Definitions of healthy eating have changed quite dramatically since The Healthy Slow Cooker was first published in 2006. In those days, it was one size fits all - low fat, low calorie, and no saturated fat. Since then, there’s been a shift in thinking. Many leading experts now feel that many of our modern diseases are directly associated with the consumption of wheat and advocate reducing carbohydrates. Another significant development is that the evidence against saturated fat has been gradually diminishing. All the recipes are delicious, nutrient-dense, and have a balanced approach that will suit a wide variety of people. Incredibly healthy meals prepared in a slow cooker is an unbeatable combination!

My Thoughts:

I love using the slow cooker to make dinners. It is just so fast and easy. And this cookbook is great, for some new healthy recipes that I have not tried before. I especially liked the Butternut Chilli! And so did Callan! Big surprise there! We are on our way to healthier eating, the easy way!
