Crockpot recipes are my favorite way to create a delicious dinner fast. I’m literally able to do two task at once without going crazy. A healthy dinner doesn’t have to be super expensive or time consuming. I love when my home is filled with the smell of delicious hearty comfort foods. Unlike our grandmother’s had to take half of the day to create these healthy dinner recipes, we now have the option of our beloved crockpot to do the work for us. Today we have the option of creating everything from desserts to main course recipes in the crockpot. I’ve recently fell in love with some mouth watering dips as well. Healthy crockpot dinner recipes are the best way for mom’s to deliver delicious meals while at the same time tackling work or that endless to do list.

My sister gave me a new crockpot for Christmas and it’s amazing. The size is perfect for a large family like mine, which does double duty when I’m entertaining. I have collected some simple healthy crockpot recipes that will work for weekdays and weekend meals.
