There are things you can do to update regular slow cooker recipes, of course. Try refrigerating canned broths before using them. The fat will congeal in a layer on top of the broth so it can be removed before you add the broth to the slow cooker. Look for low sodium and low fat ingredients. Trim fat and skin from meats before cooking. Try vegetarian recipes once a week. And any recipe that uses a lot of fresh vegetables will be healthier than one with canned this and that.
