I am currently preparing for postpartum, with that comes prepping tons of freezer meals that will easily transfer to the crockpot. I do not just want fast and easy meals. But I also want the meals I choose to be healthy and delicious (you know losing the baby weight is already on my mind). I had considered just doing fresh fruits and vegetables, just taking the whole foods route. However, I already know I am not going to want to do that, and protein is an important part of every diet. With that comes this delicious, easy, and healthy slow cooker cool ranch chicken taco recipe. If you are familiar with 21-day fix, this recipe is also 21-day fix friendly.
What Kind of Slow Cooker is Best?
My personal favorite slow cooker is the Ninja Foodie Possible Slow Cooker. This slow cooker has gotten me through some tough times with its multiple functions. When I purchased my home in 2022, the home had come complete with appliances. Little did I know that none of those appliances worked. For example, the oven did not work and only two burners on the stove actually worked. I had gone to various different stores in attempt to buy a new range and I found out that you can no longer buy off the floor. (what a joke, I know) So I had to wait an extended period of time prior to getting a new oven. Which led to getting the Ninja Food Slow cooker. This machine is an 8 in 1. It has the ability to slow cook, warm food, work as a pot, sauté pan, steamer, saucepan, stock pot, Dutch oven, or a roasting pan. Additionally, it can bake bread and cookies! (Or whatever else you want to bake) This slow cooker is an absolute must have.

Taco Seasoning
This is something that you could also make at home. Perhaps I will do a post one day on how to make taco seasoning at home. However, for the sake of time, we are just going to purchase some at the grocery store.

Ranch Seasoning
I love ranch seasoning. It is another great seasoning that you can make at home–but today, we are yet again going to purchase some from the grocery store. Perhaps I should spend a week writing about different seasoning blends.
