Holy BEEF!!! that sounds SO good!!! Super easy too! I'm all about easy prep! All of these recipes look amazing and I can't wait to try them!! You should start a Facebook page full of recipes or even your very own lil healthy cook book!!

These aren't my recipes. I am posting recipes from a diabetic slow cooker cook book. High Protein and low carbs just like what post-op sleevers like us need. I just love the idea of spending a few minutes to setup a meal and coming home to a hot meal ready to go. Walking into my apartment with delicious smells coming from everywhere and I just serve it up.

I found a page that shows you how to spend one weekend a month prepping 40 slow-cooker meals so you always have food ready and each meal is super cheap. You save money and time, and you are planning ahead so you don't get stuck without something healthy to eat. 40 meals is enough for a full month including lunches and dinners. When you need one, you just take out the gallon frozen bag, empty it into the slow cooker and turn it on. Then PRESTO! You have a hot and ready meal when you get home.

Oh! I thought these were ones you've tried. Can you tell me the name of the book? Maybe I can find it on Amazon?

If you get time, go back to #23 of this thread, I posted the names of some easy crockpot recipes that we love at our house, and I included the websites they came from. Also try googling "easy crockpot recipes " or "diabetic crockpot recipes ." The 1st recipe, with the tortellini ? Yeah, there's a reason I put that one in first.Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm !

I have my own best recipe on earth for pot roast from a slow cooker and it's the best you'll ever taste. I just don't think it's good for post-op, high Protein, low fat and low carbs meals like we need so I haven't posted it.

No liquid the tomatoes release enough on their own

I love, love, love this recipie. When I make it, I put lots of chicken stock in it so it's more like a chicken Soup instead of chili. I also add frozen corn and garnish with cilantro. Sometimes I do a dollop of fat free sour cream, but only a small one. I could eat this almost every day!

Check out this website - http://www.diabeticconnect.com/diabetic-recipes/slow-cooker

There is bound to be something for everyone here. As with most crock pot recipes, you should be able to adapt most to fewer servings if you're only cooking for 2, like I am. I have a small crock pot that is the perfect size for my husband and me, but I also have a 5 quart crock pot for the bigger meals like pot roast, etc.
