I received Easy Everyday Slow Cooker Recipes in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own.
I love a slow cooker. In the fall and winter, it creates comfort food that warms my soul. It keeps dinner on the table in the spring and summer without heating the entire house! It is the perfect appliance whether cooking for two or serving a crowd.
