It’s finally (and officially) fall today! It’s the time of year for hearty root vegetables, delicious pot roasts, and filling soups. It’s the time of year that you could just absolutely spend every waking minute outside and bask in the cool, crisp air and watch the leaves change colors.
This is also the time of year when it’s finally cool enough to have the crock pot on all day in the kitchen without it turning the whole downstairs into an oven!

Start your crock pot and get ready for a delicious meal. If you need some inspiration for what type of recipes to add into your life, check out these healthy crock pot meals that will change your life.
