I am a home cook living in Los Angeles. When I got married in 2011, one of the wedding gifts I received was a slow cooker. I had heard of a ‘crock-pot’ before but I didn’t realize that Crock-Pot was a brand and I actually had actually received a slow cooker. Needless to say, my new slow cooker went straight into the pantry and sat in its box unopened. Fast forward 6 months and I found myself looking to embrace a healthier lifestyle. At the time I was an executive at NBC Universal working long hours away from home so finally took my slow cooker out the box. Pinterest became my best friend but I couldn’t believe how unhealthy most of the slow cooker recipes were. They all called for ‘cream of something’, pre-made mixes, loads of butter, artificial ingredients, high-sodium canned food, etc. Dissatisfied, I decided to start creating my own, healthy slow cooker recipes using mainly all-natural ingredients. As a result, in 2017 this blog was born.
