Cook Book Review: The Healthy Slow Cooker

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.

Our Thoughts:

Healthy cooking is on the minds of just about everyone these days! That's no different for us, as a family, either. Having an eight year old who hardly touches veggies and fruits, it's vitally important that we find ways to incorporate foods into his diet. That's why I was so excited about this cook book!

Slow cookers are my favorite way to cook a big meal and not spend all day in the kitchen! Literally chop and throw everything into the cooker, and leave it. Busy parents everywhere are dying for more time spent with their kids instead of in the kitchen. Slow cookers are making a huge impact on the lives of parents.

Combine both healthy eating and slow cooking and you've got an amazing and tasty way to merge foods and time management! Eating healthy hasn't been any easier than it is now! With everyone wanting to improve their eating styles and habits, this cook book is sure to please!
