I also  make crockpot meals out of recipes that are not necessarily crockpot ones. It’s just easy to throw things in there and let it do it’s thing. Also very easy to get a lot of vegetables in that way too.

Because I have 2 little kids and am busy, I make a lot of crockpot meals. I will take most recipes and turn into a crockpot meal even if it's not originally a crockpot recipe.

I’m having some back issues that make standing difficult, but I am making the best of things. I use the crock pot quite a bit, as well as frozen fruits and vegetables. Even if you can just throw some vegetables in the microwave, along with a baked potato or something, that’s a good start.
