The last of the lamb bones, with some veggie odds and ends to make bone broth.

I thought it might be fun to have a slow cooker photo thread. :-)

Happy Monday!

ETA: yes, that's corn in there, from my kids' leftover dinner veggies. I'm too lazy to pick it out.

    Oh gross! Lamb! Sorry that's my reaction to lamb. I'm gonna get a chuck roast today to put in my slow cooker. I've never made my own slow cooker dish this will be tasty :)

    Keto slow cooker beef stroganoff was in there this morning, and is now in the lunch pails. Wednesday or Thursday it's going to be ribs. I love my slow cooker and use it constantly.

    My current favorite is turkey thighs rubbed with olive oil, black pepper, salt, and curry powder. The original recipe called for them to be cooked in tinfoil in the crockpot, but I just add extra oil or a little red wine vinegar to the bottom of the crock pot and deal with the mess.

    Oh yeah, that's bone in. And I throw some fresh garlic in, too.

    I've had a slow cooker for a month. So far I have made:

    Beef stew
    Curried lamb shanks
    Pulled pork
    Low carb "candied" spiced nuts (flippin' moreish in their buttery cinnamon-y goodness)

    And for the non-keto folk: slow cooker chocolate fudge (it was really hard to resist!!!)

    If it cools down enough this week it'll be chicken breast and veggies and then pork roast with seasonings and onions/celery/maybe radishes.

    I'm a lazy cook and this is one of my favorites;

    In the crockpot:
    • pack of prewashed mushroom slices ( or not)
    • Protein (pork chops, cubed steak, chicken breast or thighs-i use boneless), stew beef, etc)
    • top with jar or two of alfredo sauce.
    • dash worcestershire sauce or liquid smoke if desired.
    Cook. Easy.
    Add fresh or frozen broccoli last 30 minutes or so of cooking if desired.
    Serve over cauliflower rice if desired.

    This sounds simple enough that I can manage. :)

    If I put 2 ears of corn in my pot roast for my lady friend to enjoy will I get more carbs in my servings that I eat without the corn? My guess would be not much if so

    Chicken soup... clean out the fridge style. Frozen chicken breasts, a little leftover celery, onion, garlic, broccoli, can of diced tomatoes, turmeric, salt and pepper. It turned out surprisingly good!

    Personally I don't count these carbs unless I actually eat them. Same with potatoes, although I know they release more starch. I'm just not concerned enough to worry about stuff like that. :)

    Nothing today, but yesterday was a pork loin covered in a jar of verde salsa. Cook on low all day and then shred. Top with lettuce, sour cream, and cheese.

    I don't know what we are eating tonight...better get on that!

    @totaloblivia can you share your spiced nut recipe, I keep trying and mine turn out gross

    No probe. From Dana carpender low carb slow cooker book.

    1lb pecan halves
    Half cup melted butter
    Half cup splenda
    1.5 tspns ground cinnamon
    0.25 tspn ground ginger
    0.25 tspn ground allspice

    Put pecans in slow cooker and stir in melted butter. Sprinkle splenda and spices and stir. Cook on high for 30 mins then uncover and cook on low for up to 2 hours, stirring once or twice.

    I used third cup truvia instead of splenda as have never seen splenda in UK. They need to cool before eating so butter and spices are stuck on. I added sea salt as well after cooking as they were a wee bit bland. Next time I would up spice amounts significantly.

    Chicken and salsa today. The house will smell wonderful!
    I don't dare make the spiced nuts. They could easily turn into a " must have"!
