A slow cooker recipe roundup from some of our talented contributors, all family tested and approved in our households!
If you are a busy mom, then you know a slow cooker can be your best friend. It’s useful for many occasions – like for busy weekdays with crazy schedules when you won’t be home until dinnertime, for weekends when you’d rather spend more time with your family than in your kitchen, and to share when you have a big party to attend. I use mine every day to make a simple and so very healthy oatmeal that can be jazzed up with an endless number of toppings to fit anyone’s tastes. We buy the grains in bulk and it saves both time and money!
This week, I have pulled together a recipe round-up of some of my personal slow cooker recipes and a few from our other talented contributors here at Inner Child Food.

Thanks, We love to make the Tomato Basil Soup. Especially in the Summer when we have an abundance of fresh tomatoes and basil from the garden!
I have 3. One big one i use for dinner and 2 of the small dip size ones. Thank you so much for posting the oatmeal recipes. I love the idea of having breakfast ready when i wake up but the other recipes like breakfast casseroles havent worked out.
Thanks for stopping by! The oatmeal is my favorite slow cooker recipe and the kids even come up with more crazy combinations. The options are endless!!
