We might think of it as a cold weather kitchen tool, but your slow cooker can be your healthy eating BFF in the summer. It allows you to enjoy delicious summer classics like baked beans, pulled pork, or even summer desserts like cobblers, all without having to so much as look at your oven or clock much hands-on time. Lately, I’ve been enjoying pulled chicken made in the crock pot in salads and veggies-and-grain bowls. I recently shared a few of my favorite summer slow cooker recipes on Fitness Magazine. Enjoy!

What are your favorite summer foods?
