The polar vortex may finally be receding, but there are plenty of cool days ahead. On a cold day, there are few things as nice as walking into a house and being greeted with the rich, hearty smell of a slow-cooker meal. Instant warmth! Another plus? Most slow-cooker recipes are easy to prepare, meaning you can pull everything together quickly in the morning, and have a warm, comforting meal waiting for you in the evening with very little effort. If you're new to slow-cookers, this relatively inexpensive appliance is well worth the investment. And if you have an Instant Pot or other multi-cookers, you have a slow cooker too! With a special lid, you can use the slow-cook setting found on nearly all of these devices.

By going online, you can get lots of nutrition advice. The problem is that what you read one place often conflicts with information you see someplace else. Some of this has to do with how scientific studies are conducted and how the results can be reported or misreported. In the race for our attention, many sources will focus on sensational (but possibly flawed) studies or exaggerate the importance of a study to support a biased agenda. The result is misinformation, conflicting information, and a whole lot of confusion.
