MY STORY

Im no longer able to fly through a drive-through and grab a quick bite to eat. I cant go to a family gathering without questioning everything thats set out to eat. Most of the time, I try to bring a dish or two to share that I know I can have and will fill me up. Thats where these recipes come in. You can throw one or two of them in your slow cooker and bring a delicious and healthy dish to any gathering you go toeven if that gathering is at your own kitchen table. I began my blog, A Busy Moms Slow Cooker Adventures, in 2010 to share my slow cooker recipes with my family and coworkers.

It morphed into a gluten-free slow cooker blog three years later, following my diagnosis. Due to my new lifestyle, I naturally began to cook healthier, and I havent looked back since. Im a wife to my wonderful husband of nine years, and we have two beautiful children, ages seven and four. Though they arent gluten-free, we all love eating meals that are, and we hope that you will too. Before we get into the recipes though, lets get some basics out of the way first.
