"Eating to Live" recipes in the "What a Crock!column are intended to help patients dealing with chronic diseases.

The recipes are easy to prepare in a slow cooker and produce dishes that are tasty and familiar.

These types of comfort foods are appealing to both
patients and caregivers, who may have little appetite.

The slow cooker is a good cooking appliance to use when preparing foods for people going through treatment or convalescence.

The cook, who may actually be the patient dealing with the disease and treatment, can 
put foods into the slow cooker to simmer early in the day when his or her energy level may be a little higher.

Many of the "Eating to Live" recipes were shared by cancer patients, who report that these slow cooker dishes tasted good to them as they went through their treatments.
