Welcome
Hi, I’m Jennifer
Hey there! I’m Jennifer, and I started this blog, Slow Cooker Gourmet, back in 2013 as a place to share wholesome yet simple slow cooker recipes! As a busy mom, I’m always looking for ways to get a healthy dinner on the table despite my crazy schedule.
Most slow cooker recipes I find on the internet utilize a lot of canned soups and other processed ingredients. I combine the best of both worlds and share recipes that are still easy to make, but use as many fresh and healthy ingredients as possible.

Where this all began
- After being a tax accountant for 13 years, I took a leap of faith and quit my job in 2013 to focus on my family
- I’ve always had a dream of owning my own business, I just never imagined it would be a blog!
- I love to cook (important if you have a food blog! 🤣) but through this journey I’ve also found a passion for food photography and teaching others to blog as a business.
- I live in Kansas City with my husband, 2 kids, plus our dogs and cats and probably some foster kittens too
- I’m obsessed with my slow cooker, but I do love my Instant Pot and air fryer as well, and you can find my recipes for those on my other blog Garnished Plate.
