Please only low-cal suggestions.

I live alone and this is why I want recipes that will taste good after being refrigerated (or frozen)!

Thank you so much! I have not used my Crock Pot yet, I got it for 2 dollars at a garage sale this summer, it's in perfect condition.

    Trying skinnytaste.com - there are healthy recipes and I think there's a category for crock pot recipes.

    I like to put chicken breasts in mine and cover them with bbq sauce and let them cook for about 6 to 8 hours. So yummy!

    Soups are always good - whatever veggies you have to use up, or were going cheap at the fruit/veg shop. Just keep in mind things like corn, potato/sweet potato etc are higher in cals than other vegs. I also tend to use tinned tomatoes as a base, and just some stock.

    I also use recipe bases - I never do exactly what they say - always add a tonne more veggies, less meat (ie 1kg is not needed to feed only 4 people!!!) etc and then do a bit smaller serving size.

    refried beans - I make my own using a crock pot, 1lb makes about 6lbs cooked, and I freeze them in 1lb bags. You could probably do smaller serving sizes if its just you. Making them yourself saves lots of sodium. - http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/NeuroticVirgo/view/refried-beans-cheap-low-calorie-low-sodium-freezer-friendly-88785 (also, since writing this, I've found this does actually keep well in the freezer, so I would say 3 months its still good)

    chicken taco mix - black beans, chicken and rotel. Its a bummer I accidentally must have deleted my picture. I just took the frozen left overs out and it was still just as good. I made enchiladas with the left overs, very tasty! - http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/337793-crockpot-chicken-tacos

    BBQ chicken - this also tastes good after being frozen. - http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/317443-bbq-shredded-chicken-crockpot-108-calories

    I wish I had more for you, but I haven't tried any of my other crock pot stuff after its been frozen. We usually end up going through the left overs to fast.
