Slow Cooker Recipes

I'll throw this into the pot, too (pun intended!!!): don't forget you can use that slow cooker for leftovers, as well. Tomorrow I'll put that leftover roast beef in with my garden veggies, some broth and seasoning, and make a nice stew...it just won't take as long, since the meat is already cooked (used the pressure cooker 2 days ago to do the roast). I'll put it in for about 4 hours, just 'til the veggies are done, then add celery for a few minutes (I like it tender-crisp). Then off to a friend's whose husband just had surgery...they need to eat, too!

I use leftovers for my crockpot meals also. If I serve a meat with sides for dinner the kids ask me if we're having Soup, Beans or casserole tomorrow.

I have not been at home due to illness in the family. Now that things have come full circle and we are home the slow cooker makes sense! I should do this. Thanks for getting me in the groove. I rinse a whole chicken. Put Lowery's seasoned salt inside it. Place a rib of celery and an onion in 1/4 ths in the cavity too. Turn on the slow cooker 4 hr high or 8 on low. Delicious and several meals are possible after we have the roast chicken the first time. I like chicken salad, creamed chicken and chicken and rice Soup made with the leftovers!

Hey There!!! I tried this one today and it was DELISH!!! I have to say that it was a little bit too salty for our liking so next time I'm going to add a little MORE Water and a little LESS soy sauce!! :D

I have this chicken Enchilada (Tortilla) Soup in the slow cooker now. Going to top it with cilantro, avocado and shredded cheese. Will forgo the tortilla chips, of course.

I love my slow cooker, and with 5 kids (all grown now), I used it a lot. I always hated the clean-up! Then I discovered Reynolds slow cooker liners. They are plastic bags, (but don't melt) and when you are ready, just lift them out, leaving a clean crock-pot!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
