When it comes to cookbooks, I have a soft spot for the ones that focus on saving time without compromising on nutrition or taste. My fellow foodie blogger friend Arsy from Rubies & Radishes has a brand new cookbook that is right up my alley, and I’m so excited I get to share it with you!
One of my favorite tools for real food living? The slow cooker, actually, more specifically, my Instant Pot (pressure cooker and slow cooker all in one!). This is the tool that Arsy is tackling in her latest ebook, Real Food Slow Cooker Recipes. Each recipe is perfect for when you don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen but still want a nourishing, delicious meal at the end of the day (and a kitchen that smells amazing!). Better yet, each recipe is pure paleo – no grains, dairy, sugar, natural sweeteners, legumes, or alcohol to be found.

Enjoy!

Slow Cooker Meatza-Mess
This super flavorful recipe can be topped with almost anything, and it's great for households with a variety of palates.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Italian sausage (Paleo-friendly), chopped (we use Butcher Box meat)
- 1 cup olives, sliced
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 1 green pepper, sliced
- 1⁄2 sweet onion, sliced
- 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 15-ounce jar pizza sauce
- 3 cups fresh spinach
- Fresh basil, jalapeño, and red pepper flakes for garnish
Instructions
- Place Italian sausage, olives, mushrooms, green pepper, onion, artichoke hearts, garlic, and pizza sauce in the slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 3 hours. (I actually only use my Instant Pot on the slow cooker setting now, crockpots can leach lead!)
- Add the spinach and cook for an additional hour.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the meatza-mess from the slow cooker.
- Top with fresh basil, jalapeño, and red pepper flakes, and serve.
