I'm about "chicken"d out to be honest, but I'd like to make a slow cooker meal tomorrow that will work for at least 4 meals. Maybe with beef, steak or veggie? I'll probably be making spaghetti during the work week, so preferably nothing Italian-y?

Thanks, you guys are awesome!!

    throw a boston butt in the crockpot with some onions, garlic, tomatoes and corn if you want it ... cumin, oregano, thyme ... cuban spices! let it cook down to pulled pork and then you can use it one night over rice, one night wrapped in tortillas, one night over a baked potato and one night with all the broth as a soup with some cornbread! ;)

    Pork is great too! Try skinnytaste.com. You can always half or double a batch to make more or less meals.

    A turkey breast with an onion soup mix on low for a long time will be sublime. You don't even need to add water!

    Also try a pork tenderloin cooked with rootbeer, then add bbq sauce, shred, and you have your own shredded BBQ pork. This is not a very healthy recipe but it's soooooo good.

    Go online and search for slow cooker recipes and you'll find plenty. I use the AllRecipes app and have found the two faves above there.

Add salt to water in a large stew pot and bring water to a light boil. Wash Mung beans, carefully removing any tiny stones. Rinse Basmati Rice at least three times to remove starch. Set mung beans and rice aside. Chop assorted vegetables. (Prepare the Masala Mixture while waiting for water to boil) Heat Ghee (or Oil) in a large frying pan (preferrably cast iron.) Add garlic (using press), chopped onions, and Ginger and saute under a medium flame. When Onions, Garlic and Ginger are translucent, add Turmeric, Cumin, Coriander, Cardamon, Crushed Chilies and Black Pepper; mix well. When all spices are absorbed shut off flame and let sit for 5 min, covered. (When water begins to boil) Add mung beans to boiling water. Reduce flame to simmering and cover and boil until the beans start to soften and open, (15-20 min.) Add Masala Mixture to water with mung beans and vegetables. Simmer for 20-30 minutes until soupy. Add rice and cook an additional 15-20 min until rice is absorbed. Shut off and let set 15-20 min. Serve with fresh yogurt (or sour cream.) - See more at: http://kundaliniyogabootcamp.com/recipe-mung-beans-rice-kitcheree/#sthash.Pv25Rvd2.dpuf

    Have you looked up "A year of slow cooking" on the internet? She has a variety of recipes.

    I do venison and pork about the same way -- sear them and put them in with beef stock or beer (stout) and root vegetables.

    Lasagne with zucchini strips instead of noodles - and you can do it with a white sauce instead of marinara to un-Italianize it.

    I have fallen in love with this recipe:
    http://www.skinnytaste.com/2013/02/slow-cooked-jerk-pork-with-caribbean_19.html

    I use peaches instead of mango, because the mangos make my lips itch. :)

    Sometimes I eat it over rice, and sometimes I eat it without rice. Recently, I found red sprouted jasmine rice at Trader Joe's that is pre-cooked in the frozen food section, and it is amazing with the pork and peaches, etc.

    I find this to be very filling and it has become one of my go to meals on weeks when I'm not losing well.

    2Cover and cook on Low heat setting 8 to 10 hours.
    3Remove pork from cooker; place on cutting board. Shred pork, using 2 forks. Return pork to cooker and mix well. Stir in stir-fry vegetables and salt. Increase heat setting to High. Cover and cook 30 minutes or until mixture is hot and vegetables are tender.

    Expert Tips
    Leftover shredded pork can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen up to 4 months. You can use a 2 1/2-pound beef boneless chuck roast instead of the pork roast. Use the shredded pork for taco, enchilada and burrito fillings.

    I have a book called "Fix It And Forget It...Lightly". I LOVE this book. It has recipes for all kinds of meat and vegetarian and they're all healthier options. It's fantastic. :D
