* Slow cooker models vary, ideally you want to slow cook it on low for a few hours. You can set your cooker right before you go to work, and come back to a hot meal. Or set it the night before so it shuts off a couple of hours before you wake up. Cool it off, refrigerate it. And when you are ready to eat. You can set the slow cooker to a higher temperature for a short time to heat up. Or simply use your stove top and another pot.

Serve with steamed brown rice, or steamed yams, or all grain bread. Always have some greens with your meals, keep it well balanced. Fibers is important in your diet. If you don't have time to chop a salad, more than likely your supermarket has ready made greens and other vegetables already chopped and ready for you.
