    I'm a HUGE fan of this website: www.eatingwell.com I also get the magazine.

    I made the vegetarian lasagna in a crockpot. Yes, lasagna. :happy:
    And no, the noodles were not purchased pre-cooked and were whole wheat. :bigsmile:

    I make a lot of crock pot meals, but this is one of the most filling, easy and healthy I've made thus far.

    Good luck on your journey. :happy:

    this is my favorite recipe when i'm short on time but still don't want to heat up the oven. it takes 2-4 hours in my crockpot depending on what setting i have it on. also we only put 1/2 tsp of chili powder, the 1 tblsp is WAY too much for us! and i usually add in some chopped up bell peppers. it's vegetarian so it's pretty low cal but you can add some ground beef or turkey if you want.

    I like curry beans, vegetables, and chicken. I don't usually measure when I cook but here are my guesstimates:

    1 cup dry black beans
    1 onion, 8 oz diced mushrooms, 1 bell pepper - all diced & pan sauteed
    4 finely diced celery stalks
    2 oz boneless skinless chicken
    jamaican curry powder (add 1 or 2 hours before the end)
    black pepper
    chicken broth cube
    salt to taste

    put pot on low for about 5 or 6 hours. If not done to your liking, keep checking & cook & season as you like. sometimes I dump in some diced spinach with the other veggies.

    I am supper excited about these recipes. Just got my crockpot for Christmas. I will also be starting at 21 day fast starting Jan8 (as I do at the begining of the year, for the last 3 years) Spiritual reasons but of course i reap the added benefits of weight loss.

    So these recipes are awesome, my first week will be no sweets, no meats, not bread, second week I can add one type of meat . I think I will go with turkey., But still no sweets, or breads, and then the third week I probably will no back to no meats, sweets or bread.

    Salsa chicken:
    4 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    1 large jar salsa (I like HOT salsa)

    Spray crockpot with non-stick spray. Pour a little salsa in the bottom to coat, Lay chicken breasts on top, if you need to do layers to fit it all in, put salsa between the layers and pour the rest of the jar over the top. Cook on low 8 hrs or high 5-6 hours. (I have even put the breasts in frozen when I have forgotten to defrost!)

    The meat is sooo tender!! You can shred it, slice it, dice it. I use it for tacos, burritos, sandwiches, over rice, anything you can think of.

    I often add any or all of the following:

    can black beans
    frozen corn
    onions (cut them in large chunks)
    cloves of garlic (whole, peeled, they will get super soft & sweet)
    celery, cut in big chunks
    can of diced tomatoes

    Pork and Sauerkraut-

    any type of prok- chops, loin, roast, shoulder- it doesn't matter- cover in sauerkraut- canned or bagged, and simmer on med/low all day- pork melts in your mouth- serve it over mashed potatoes if you want a real treat!

    I am new and have a stupid question. Why do people respond with just the word "bump'??

    Oh and by the way.. I love new crockpot recipes.. Thanks everyone.. Here is a fave of my family..

    Pepperoncini Chicken Sandwiches

    1 bag of frozen chicken breasts
    1 jar of sliced pepperoncini peppers (you can pour in the juice for more flavor)
    1 package of Dry Italian Dressing Mix (sometimes I use the Zesty kind)

    Cook all ingredients in crockpot until you are able to shred.. Serve on your favorite bun. I normally cook them on low all day while I am at work on Low.. or just a few hours on High.
