Hello there, Slow Cookerers!!

We are in the final stages of the summer time weather and I don't know about you, but I'm starting to get a teensy bit antsy about fall.

Fall is PRIME crockpot season -- and along with long sleeve shirts, puffy vests, and boots you can count on TONS of comfort food like stew, chili, and potroast.

But for the time being, we'll stick with a bit more of the lighter fare ---

Here is a roundup of over 60 Recipes that have been deemed rather "Light and Healthy."

chances are that your family eats essentially the same food, on rotation --- so if you know you like to have something a few times a month, GO FOR IT.

there are no hard and fast rules --- do what fits you and your family's needs.

And for a bit of added motivation, this article on Back to School Resolutions might be helpful.

I always think of Back to School time as sort of the "mom new year." :-)

I had the wonderful honor of chatting and laughing with the amazing Lindsay de Swart on her Magical Midlife podcast --- you can give it a listen, here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1746950/9042653?fbclid=IwAR3-XDqOoJa-OQJQjRF1D9gxIRCyeNiWqEU6MpjrbVe1QwbopeUorKuTzFk

That's it for me! I hope you enjoy your week and your family.

Happy Slow Cooking!!
