Ok all you cooks. Help me out. I am a mom of 3 and i work. I love my crock pot but so far can only make chili and chicken and buscuits in it. Shoot me some good ideas that will be good with the band and yummy for the kiddos to eat. My friend just gave me a good 1 for lasagna. Can't wait ot try it and will post it here if its good

I love lemon chicken! A whole chicken and just some 2 lemons and some orange zest. Put one cut lemon in the chicken cavity. Some chick stock and cook on low all day. also ill take chick breasts and a can or two of fav salsa and bake in there. I serve with some homemade WW tortilla chips and homemad guacamoli and some pinto beans with sauteed onions and cumin.

Another good recipe is beef and veggie stew. The beef gets super tender cooking all day.

Now Im going to go see what I can make for dinner tomorrow!

Pot roast is easy in a crockpot. I put in a big piece of meat, approximately 3lbs worth, dump in a bag of frozen pearl onions, a bag of frozen baby carrots, onion Soup mix if you want, a can or two of tomatoes (if you want), put the lid on and turn it on low. I used to start this at about 7am and by the time I got home late afternoon, it would be done. You can also add frozen green Beans. For the people in the house who still eat potatoes ( I don't eat them now, except in very tiny amounts), I boiled them separately after getting home. Potatoes would cook to mush in a crockpot I'm afraid.

A few links to get you started.

Spark People has a whole section on crock pot recipes. I use this web site a lot for my cooking because the recipes seem good (and the ones I have made are) but also all recipes have nutritional information. I won't make a recipe unless it has the nutritional info so this site is ideal. Www.sparkpeople.com. Click on recipes. You can also do a search for crock pot
