Slow Cooker

Letting this chicken recipes simmer in the slow cooker all day creates the most amazing meal. This Italian recipe is very popular and an easy recipe. Just add all of the ingredients in the slow cooker, set to low, off to work! Dinner is ready when you get home. Just pick up the Italian bread on your way home for dipping! Just omit the bread or pasta to make this a paleo recipe!

I use my crockpot all year long and it especially comes in handy in the summer. I can enjoy the lake and my company while the food is doing its thing. I keep several sizes handy and this dish goes great for any season! Give my crockpot meaty cabbage a try!

These are similar to my stuffed cabbage but different!  These are more about the meat and a lighter sauce.  They are however both Paleo recipes for you to enjoy....

Braciole is a popular Italian dish. Using flank steak works the best as it becomes very tender after slow cooking all day.  You can roll the meat with your favorite filling.  I had frozen kale handy along with the other ingredients.  I picked up the flank steak at Joseph's Classic Market.  

Enjoy this Italian specialty!  

PS  If you don't have kitchen twine at home just ask your butcher! They will be more than happy to provide some for you. 

I make this Italian pulled pork recipe often during the summer at our lake house. I can let it cook all day, shred the pork then keep warm until ready to serve.

Pulled pork is a great Paleo Diet recipe using my Italian ingredients. I like adding the hot sauce to give it a little extra kick!

I love Sunday dinners in the slow cooker.  My Nana always made a Sunday sauce and I just loved when we had Pork Roast.  We would add peas to the platter and pour lots of sauce over the pork. This dish is amazing and is perfect for meal prep during the week.  I love to serve with zucchini noodles or sauté a bunch of greens.  

Note: Because I used a large piece of pork I asked the butcher to tie with kitchen twine. It just kept the roast together and made it easier to take out of the slow cooker and put on a platter.  Then grab a tong and fork as it just falls apart!  Go ahead and use your fingers to taste it.. I did...  

Italian Paleo OMG Ragù!  This was simply amazing.  We are at our lake house for the summer and our friends came over. I had a super busy day and while at the butcher deciding what to make the pork butt looked amazing.

I did serve this dish with a creamy polenta.  I am Italian!!  What can I say...  If you want to keep it Paleo then serve with sauté vegetables or sauté garlic spinach (I do that a lot).

Anyway..  Enjoy..

My Nana and I would stuff Manicotti's for Sunday dinner.  She would love to get them ready in the morning then we would bake them for dinner.  Her and I would mostly eat the inside stuffing.

Cindy's Tip: If you butcher has the longer short ribs; ask them to slice in half. They are easier to work with and fit in your dutch oven and to serve.

I love my weeknight chuck roast that cooks all day in the slow cooker.  Just season and add to your slow cooker and when you come home dinner is waiting! All you need to do is add  your favorite sides and most of them can also be made in advance.
