Introduction

Like good cooks everywhere, the editors of Prevention love nothing more than sharing our favorite healthy and delicious dishes. That’s the whole idea behind Prevention Healthy Favorites series of essential cookbooks. Slow Cooker Recipes gathers 48 of our best slow cooker recipes to make it easy for you to get dinner (or even yummy dessert!) on the table.

Slow cooking is one of our favorite ways to prepare true comfort food, which for us means food that is as comfortable to make as it is to eat. It’s all about easy: Just quickly put together simple ingredients in the morning, and come home to a wholesome meal and delicious-smelling house! What could be better?

And with this Prevention-tested collection, you can’t go wrong. We chose our recipes carefully, each of them designed to nourish both body and spirit. Within these pages you’ll find a great variety of flavors and ingredients, from Mexico’s gentle heat (Pork Chile Verde) to the delightful Moroccan Chicken with Olives. You’ll even find some lovely surprises, including Shrimp Arrabiata, which tastes so good you won’t believe it’s so healthy; and even rich and satisfying brownies that couldn’t be any easier to make, yet fit into a healthy, enjoyable diet.

So please relax and enjoy Prevention Healthy Favorites: Slow Cooker Recipes the way they work best in your busy life. We hope our favorites become your favorites soon.
