I don't know about you, but ever since I've subscribed to the slow cooker lifestyle, I haven't looked back.


The likelihood of cooking every night becomes increasingly obsolete as the daily grind of the work life balance intensifies. Let's be real, after working a long day, meeting the needs of the other humans in your life, and coming back home to you at the end of the day – who really feels up to the hassle of cooking that elaborate meal you bought groceries for the week before? I sure don't.

While grocery delivery services like Hello Fresh and Blue Apron have popularized in recent years, as well as meal-prepping, but I've found a great alternative by cooking long pots in the form of slow cooker meals. These days, slow cookers are used for more than just soups and stews.

Check out 8 of my favorite slow cooker recipes that simplify my weeknight meals down below.

Taurus-April-2025-monthly-horoscopes

May is about being patient, nurturing your dreams, and creating beauty in your world. This is a more stable and generous month than the chaos that April brought, and we get an opportunity for closure, healing, and rejuvenation this month. We are still amid some important retrograde transits, but these are ones we can navigate better by grounding our energy in the present moment, and not allowing ourselves to stress over the what-ifs.

With the Sun in Taurus for most of the month, May reminds us that there is beauty in finding your peace and not allowing anyone to disrupt that.
