Simple slow cooker turkey chili is a healthy dinner for the whole family. Dairy free, gluten free and full of vegetables, plus a secret ingredient.

Back from vacation. Back to meal plan. Back to reality. Now time to get back to unpacking.

T- My favorite slow cooker meal- Coconut Ginger Chicken and Vegetables from Simple Bites. Served with rice.

W- Madison requested “fish nuggets…since I like chicken nuggets and I like fish.” Will try making them the same way and just reduce the cooking temperature and duration. Served along with Alexis french fries and steamed green beans.

Slow Cooker Tomato Soup at RandomRecycling.com

Ever try to make your own Tomato Soup?  After reading the label on my favorite tomato soup, I decided to test out other organic options.  Nothing ever hit the mark.  I’ve cooked it before on the stove and never really been happy with the results.  Finally tried it in the crock pot and it came out fabulous!  I served it alongside grilled cheese sandwiches for a simple dinner one night, then added barley to it to make it into a lunch.
