Looking for an easy meal that's a prep-it and forget-about-it special? This amazing taco recipe from Kelley Coffeen, author of the cookbook Tex-Mex Diabetic Cooking, lets your slow-cooker do all the work! (Though if you're home all day, be prepared for the appetizing smell of slow-cooked pork to fill your house—hunger may be a side-effect.) Finished off in a simmering BBQ and chipotle blend, the final shredded pork is a juicy filling for a healthier version of southwestern tacos.

Loaded with meat, vegetables, and beans, chili is a one-pot meal that is easy to prepare, budget-friendly, and deliciously comforting. As the name implies, this chop-free chili requires very little prep work. Toss everything in the slow cooker in the morning, and come home to a hearty, comforting bowl of chili that takes less than 10 minutes of work to prepare. This dish is even better the next day, so save some leftovers for tomorrow's lunch!

It’s cold outside, you’ve had a long day, and you want comfort fast. But everything’s frozen (just like you)! Not a problem with this diabetes-friendly Instant Pot recipe—you can start with frozen turkey and corn, add a few other ingredients, seal it in the cooker, and let it do the rest of the work. No chopping, no browning, just stir it up at the end! If you're looking to cut the carb count, you can omit the corn. Either way, this is a great go-to recipe to have on hand for “those” days, and it’s kid-friendly, too! Find this recipe and more in The Instant Pot Diabetes Cookbook Find more
