RNM’s Favorite CrockPot Recipes

Fall can be a busy time of year, and taking advantage of your crockpot recipes can save everyone loads of time in the kitchen prepping, planning and making meals on otherwise busy nights.

Tis the season to break out the crock pots and indulge in the savory nourishing goodness that are soups, stews, chili’s, broths and one pot meals.  The practitioners here at Richmond Natural Medicine are big fans of using crock pot and soup recipes to tide us through busy days (or weeks), and we often exchange recipes amongst ourselves, usually after smelling or seeing what the other has brought in for lunch.

Here is a little glimpse of some of RNM’s favorite crockpot recipes during one of the coldest and busiest months of the year:

Simple Meatball Pasta Sauce

Throwing meatballs (ground beef mixed with salt, pepper and any other desired spices like oregano or garlic; rolled into balls) with a jar of tomato sauce in a crock pot and set on low for 6-8 hours.

Easy Chicken for the week

4 Chicken breasts with a jar of salsa on high for 4 hours is an easy pulled chicken to add to any meal
