Crock pot

I often work late hours. So I have found that the later I get home from work the more of a chance there is that make poor food choices such as just grabbing fast food :( But on the days I start my meals in the crock pot as I get ready for work I don't have to worry about working late or eating poorly!!! I LOVE my crock pot. Today's dinner is already in the crock pot for the day-chicken taco's. I need to keep finding new recipes for the crock pot so I don't get bored. Funny how I can get bored when eating healthy but I never seemed to have gotten bored back when I ate fast food burgers and pizza night after night for years :( Ugh

I look up a lot of recipes on the internet. I really like cooking light, they have over 100 recipes using the crockpot. My favorite one is Chicken Supreme:
4 chicken breast
1 can of fat free chicken broth
1 can of fat free cream of mushroom soup
1 can of tomato sauce
1 can of whole mushrooms

Put all in the crockpot and cook for 8 hours. It is so moist and tasty. For those not on a low carb diet the can spoon it over rice or noodles.

This sounds very good, I am going to have to try it! And you can't get any simpler than this :) Thank you for the idea!

Hi try this one

I had beef vegetable soup today that was Tasty. Very easy.

~1lb Stew Beef

1 carton beef stock

can o' diced potatoes

can o' diced tomatoes (I used one with garlic and olive oil)

a bunch (I didn't measure) of frozen mixed veggies

a pouch of beef onion soup

6 hours on low.

I share your love of crockpot too!!

I like things that can be made into multiple meals.   This can be used for three meals.

 

Large pork loin.  (I buy at Sams club, for 15 dollars I get enough to do this recipe twice.  split in half, freeze one half for another week)

Large container of salsa.

 

Place 3-4 lb loin in the crock pot.

Salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste.

Cover with salsa.  Cook for 6-8 hours on high, until the pork shreds.  Can even start with frozen meat, takes longer.

 

First day:

Serve shredded port with veggies, or over rice/noodles/quinoa.

 

Second day:

Make shreded pork tacos.

 

Third day:

remove salsa, shred remaining meat, and add BBQ - for pulled pork.
