Ever wonder how the crockpot actually came to be? 👀
This cozy kitchen MVP has a surprisingly sweet backstory.
In the 1930s, inventor Irving Naxon was inspired by a recipe from his grandmother—stories of her mother slow-cooking meals in a clay pot nestled into warm ashes. That slow, gentle cooking method sparked the idea for what would eventually become the crockpot.
Fast forward to the 1970s, and the slow cooker took off (thanks in part to Julia Child!). Since then, it’s become a weeknight hero for busy families everywhere.
And today? It’s still loved for the same reason:
✨ Easy, hands-off meals
✨ Consistent, comforting flavor
✨ Perfect for busy schedules
If you’re ready to make slow cooking your new weeknight win…

🧐 Think you’re getting all the protein from your meals or shakes?
Not always — and here’s why 👇

Your body can only use the protein it actually absorbs, and different protein sources absorb at different rates. So it's not about eating more protein… it’s about choosing the right mix for your body.

✨ This is where bioavailability comes in — and understanding it can make a big difference in your energy, cravings, and metabolism.

Swipe to see which protein sources your body absorbs best.

🔥 MYTH vs FACT: The Metabolism Edition 🔥
One of the biggest questions I hear is:
“Is my metabolism the reason I’m not losing weight?”

Let’s clear the air. While metabolism does play a role, it’s not the whole story—and it’s definitely not working against you the way diet culture makes you think.

Here’s what actually matters 👇

✔️ Your metabolism works 24/7 — even while you sleep
✔️ Muscle burns more calories than fat, so strength training really pays off
✔️ Skipping meals slows things down, not up
✔️ Spicy foods/green tea give tiny boosts, but habits matter WAY more
✔️ Body size doesn’t equal metabolism speed — bigger bodies often burn more at rest

The truth?
You have more control over your metabolism than you think.
When you eat regularly, build muscle, sleep well, manage stress, and stay consistent, your metabolism works with you—not against you.

💬 If you're tired of metabolism myths holding you back, listen to my YouTube video - Myth vs Fact: The Metabolism Edition here - https://youtube.com/shorts/rtpmpg7qfgo?si=-7uCBVhPwxU3yKRS

🍲 Cozy, hearty, and protein-packed — this One-Pot Chicken & Veggie Stew is pure comfort in a bowl! 💚

Made with tender chicken, white beans, carrots, and spinach in a rich, herb-seasoned tomato base — it’s a meal that warms you up and keeps you feeling full and energized.

✅ High in protein
✅ Loaded with fiber
✅ One pot = easy cleanup 🙌

✨ Bonus: Top with fresh basil and a sprinkle of parmesan for a cozy finishing touch — or keep it light and simple!

Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
2 Tbs olive oil
1 small white onion, diced
3 carrots, peeled and diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28 oz.) can crushed tomatoes
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried parsley
1 (15 oz.) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 cup spinach
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
2 Tbs fresh basil, diced for garnish
2 Tbs parmesan cheese, freshly grated (optional)
1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable broth

Directions
Prep
1. Dice onions. Peel and chop carrots. Mince garlic.

2. Drain and rinse cannellini beans.

Make
1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a large pot, then season them lightly with salt and pepper. Cover the chicken with 1 inch of water. Place the pot on the stove and bring water to a boil. Once the pot on the stove is boiling, reduce the heat and let simmer until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F on an instant-read thermometer or is no longer pink in the center, about 8 to 16 minutes. Remove the chicken from the water and let rest until cool enough to handle and shred.

2. In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sauté onions, carrots, and garlic until tender.

3. Add crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried basil, oregano, and parsley. Let sauce come to a simmer and simmer for 5 minutes.

4. Stir in cannellini beans, spinach, and shredded chicken. Cook until spinach has wilted and chicken has warmed through.

5. Garnish with fresh basil and parmesan cheese (if using).

Nourishing your body should always taste this good! 🥕
