With the Super bowl approaching, and everyone bunkering down to hibernate through winter, it the perfect time for slow cooking dinners and chili in a crock pot.
This cooking method works best for braising, stews and soups. There are great recipes on the website for Cooking Light, Weight Watchers, and Clean Eating magazines.
You can focus on traditional dishes including beef or chicken or try a vegetarian variety with tofu or varieties of beans. With beans, you can cook them from a raw state (washing them helps to reduce the gassy side effects of the beans), or for a shorter cook time, rinse a canned bean and use those. In the same vein, instead of uncooked pasta being added, substitute fully cooked pasta and add during the last 30 minutes.
Sit back in your comfy chair, with the big game on, and enjoy a healthy meal.
