No time to cook? No problem. You can still prepare a healthy meal for your family – using fresh, whole-food ingredients – without having to sacrifice time. Aside from measuring some spices, chopping a few veggies and soaking dried chickpeas overnight, all you need to do is flip a switch (thanks, slow cooker!) for a hearty meal that’s ready when you get home at the end of the day. Root vegetables make this stew especially satisfying on a chilly autumn day.
