Crock pot, also known as slow cooker, is an electrical kitchen appliance used to prepare some terrific recipes, ranging from exotic soups, spicy meat recipes, to even delectable desserts. Though cooking using a crock pot is time-consuming, if you have time and want to savor the true flavors of the ingredients added to your recipe, crock pot is a good option.

However, in today's world where people are so health conscious, they want their food to be nutritious and low in calories. If you happen to be one of those, then check out these recipes which will not only satiate your taste buds, but will also help you to evaluate the food as per the number of calories you are consuming.
