Hi, I'm Kori. I'm the founder of Slow Cooked Eats, and also the recipe developer, writer, photographer and videographer. I'm the one wearing all the hats!
The Crockpot Years
For more than 20 years, I worked full-time outside the house as an accountant and later a CFO. My days started early, ended late, and included an hour-long commute each way. At home, I had a husband and three boys who expected dinner.
Home-cooked family meals were always a big deal in our house. But I didn't have time to stand over a stove, and I definitely didn't have the energy for anything fussy at 7 p.m.
The crockpot saved us. It was a huge lifesaver, and honestly, it's how my family ate almost every weeknight for years. On weekends, I'd assemble 4 or 5 crockpot meals and stash them in the fridge. On weekday mornings, I'd load one up before heading out the door. By the time I got home, dinner was ready and the house smelled amazing.
Those recipes, tested over and over on my own family, are the heart of this site.
Why You Can Trust These Recipes
Cooking has always been my real passion. I learned from my mother, grandmother and aunts, who are the best cooks ever. Then I worked in restaurants and catering all through high school and college.
In 2018 I started my first food blog, Seeking Good Eats, and in 2019 I left accounting to run it full-time. Later I went back to school for formal culinary training.
Education & Expertise:
- Culinary school-trained chef, specializing in holistic wellness & nutrition
- Bachelor's in Applied Human Sciences
- Master's in Business Administration (MBA)
- Master's Degree in Accounting
- Member of the International Association of Culinary Professionals
So yes, I'm a trained chef. But I still cook like the busy working mom I was for 20 years.
About Slow Cooked Eats
I started Slow Cooked Eats in 2023 as a sister site to Seeking Good Eats. It's home for all the crockpot recipes I've collected from years of feeding my family and friends.
These recipes are made for busy families, holiday hosts, game-day crowds and anyone who'd rather let the crockpot do the work. My recipes are mostly (but not always):
- Easy to make
- 10 ingredients or less
- 30 minutes of prep time or less
- Family-friendly
Looking for lower-carb comfort food? You'll find it on my first site, Seeking Good Eats.
Every once in a while, I'll share something that might be new to you. Give it a try! Weekends are a great time to experiment.
100% Human Crafted: every recipe and photo on Slow Cooked Eats is made and tested by me, not AI-generated.
Life Now
These days the boys are grown, and it's me, my husband and our two dogs. We travel as much as we can, both around the U.S. and abroad.
