Believe in the Magic Traci Diary

As the new year begins, people make resolutions. Some of those resolutions are to eat better. One way to do eat better is to utilize appliances in your kitchen, so you can dinner on the table quickly instead of eating out.

I’m going to be sharing slow cooker recipes from my blog that can help you get either dinner, side dish, or a sweet treat on the table quicker. Since I have to eat a gluten-free diet, I have identified the recipes that are gluten-free or ones that can be adapted to be gluten-free.

I’ve also listed the ingredients that are needed for the recipe, so you can decide if you have those ingredients for the recipe or if you need to put them on your grocery list.
