I love making easy Crock-Pot recipes for my family of five.Dahlia Rimmon

As a dietitian and busy mom of three kids under 5, I'm always looking for easy Crock-Pot meal ideas.
My family loves when I make chicken-vegetable curry and split-pea-and-lentil soup.

As a dietitian and mom of three kids under 5, juggling three meals daily can be challenging. Between the morning rush of cooking breakfast and prepping lunch boxes, dinner often becomes an afterthought.

I've been using our Crock-Pot for six years, relying on it at least once a week for dinner. I love Crock-Pot meals because I can toss ingredients in in the morning, and by 5 p.m., dinner is fully cooked and ready to serve.

Here are three of my favorite easy meals to make in the Crock-Pot.

Chicken-vegetable curry is a family favorite.

I start by placing all the vegetables at the bottom of the Crock-Pot.Dahlia Rimmon

Next, I add the chicken and seasonings.

I allow the curry to cook for five to six hours.

Even my kids enjoy this split-pea-and-lentil soup.

I also add seasonings, vegetable broth, and water to the Crock-Pot.

I add spices like thyme, onion powder, bay leaves, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper. Dahlia Rimmon

I cook the soup on high for five to six hours.

I like to serve the soup with bread and sliced cheese.Dahlia Rimmon

My kids jump for joy when turkey chili is served.
