    i am not sure if I remember this well but take a container of the fat free low sugar or no sugar caramel sauce for ice cream, cut up a couple peeled apples toss in some cinnamon and water and cook it for like 5 or so hours till the apples are soft serve it over fat free sugar free ice cream. I have not yet tried it but I read it in Fitness magazine the recipe may be on their website

    Have you ever cooked a chicken in the crock pot? I just put in a whole chicken some carrots , baby potatoes and add green beans at the end. My market sells seasoned whole chickens but yyou can season it with whatever you like. Add some broth to keep it moist. It is so tender and delicious! :smile:
    I cook a whole chicken with 1/4 cup of liquid smoke(you can get at the grocery store with the hot sauces. marinades, etc) on low for 6 hours (???). That's it nothing else, no salt, pepper, nothing. It tastes like smoked chicken. It is so tender it literally falls off the bones. Sometimes I take all the shredded pieces and mix in a little BBQ sauce and eat on whole wheat bread, rolls or buns. It's really good.

    Ohhh I like that idea. I think pasta can be rather blah....so that would be a great way to make it. Anyway to make it smaller? Or can you get specific measurments so I can shrink it for my family size?

    Thanks!

    I have a family of 5, so these are my proportions.

    Saute one green pepper, one onion, 8 oz. package sliced mushrooms, one shredded carrot. Remove from pan and add 1 lb ground turkey and cook until done. Drain and add to a crock pot that has had 2 cans of spaghetti sauce (like Hunt's 32 oz(?)). Cook for a few hours, then add a 32 oz can V* (I bet spicy would be yummy!) and 3/4 box spaghetti, broken up. Cook until pasta is tender, about 30-60 minutes. You get a good amount of pasta, but it reheats really well and of course, gets better with time.

    Honestly, I don't use recipes except for baking when I cook, so I hope these amounts work. Hope you like it!

    Depending on the size of your bird, you might want to scale it back for a smaller one, as the liquid smoke is a bit salty sometimes. I highly recommend the BBQ sauce idea:laugh:

    What about adding the liquid smoke to a tad of water or broth in the bottom and letting it "steam" through the chicken??? Would that work to give it the smoky flavor without it being too salty?

    The steam from the crock pot and the juices from the chicken adds enough water, I probably wouldn't add more H2O, maybe just cut back th eliquid smoke, most of the "saltiness" is in the skin though, and I never eat the skin anyway:wink:

    Still looking for more great ideas! Also, anyone have healthy camping meals?

    I thought S'mores were healthy. Somewhere in some universe they have gotta be!!!!!!! Are you doing the real camping thing as in over a fire, or the kinda camping thing where you are cooking out of the winnebago in a/c?
    Always, grilled chicken, turkey burgers, turkey bacon or canadian. Tomato/cucumber salad tossed in Italian dressing. Fave type of Kabobs. Easy to do over a fire. Pre-chop the meat and veggies, wrap on ice and go. Any lean meat will work. Wrap sweet potatoes and pop them in the fire. Grilled veg's too. No real dessert options.
