    Currently? My blender. Tiny kitchen + cooking ahead on Sundays makes for using any and all receptacles for storage during the week.

    Last night I had 6 frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts, 1 16oz jar of salsa (i used an organic salsa) and 1 packet of taco seasoning. I had them in there on low for 4 hours and then shredded the chicken. I let it sit for another 30 minutes in there to absorb juices. My friends ate it with tortilla shells, lettuce, tomatoes, black olives and plain greek yogurt. I ate mine over the lettuce with all the fixin's! :) DELICIOUS! :) Thank you pinterest!

    I'm actually trying a recipefrom taste of home's light slow cooker recipe book.

    Slow-Cooked Pork Loin
    1 boneless pork loin roast (3.5-4lbs)
    1 Tbsp canola oil
    1 medium onion, chopped
    1 celery rib, cut into 1 inch pieces
    1 envelope brown gravy mix
    1 cup water
    1 cup unsweetened apple juice
    1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
    2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
    1/2 tsp seasoned salt
    1/2 tsp pepper

    Cut roast in half. In large skillet, brown roast in oil on all sides. Transfer to a 5-qt slow cooker. In the same skillet, saute onion and celery until tender, add to slow cooker.

    In a small bowl, combine gravy mix and water. Stir in he remaining ingredients; pour over pork. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until meat is tender. Skim fat from cooking juices; thicken if desired. Serve with roast.

    Nutrition facts: 3 ounces cooked pork with 1/3 cup juices equals 204 calories, 8g fat (2g saturated fat), 66mg cholesterol, 294mg sodium, 6g carbohydrate, trace fiber, 26g protein.

    Swiss Casserole Chicken:

    One pound of boneless skinless chicken in a sprayed crockpot. Covered with 6 slices of 2% swiss cheese (the kind I use is 50 calories per slice), one can of cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup (the kind I use is 70 calories per half cup), two cups of dry stuffing mix, and drizzled with one cup of melted butter (I use Country Crock light-50 calories per tablespoon). Cook on low for 6-7 hours. You can leave the chicken as is or mix it up all together when it's done and shred the chicken, which is what I do. One sixth of the pot is 370 calories. :)

    Easy and yummy!!

    Turkey Chili would be good! Easy too... just brown the meat first, add some canned beans, tomatoes, corn, onions, etc, etc...
