meals that are healthy. I figure if I use my slow cooker than maybe I can get in walks or a little longer walks.

    I use my crock pot to slow-cook chicken breasts (bone-in or boneless) so I can shred the chicken and use it throughout the week for wraps, chicken salad, salads with chicken, casseroles, over pasta, etc...
  • like said above, skinnycrockpot.com has awesome recipes. Also, i use my crockpot A LOT (i get home late and dont like having to cook when i get home) during the winter. I post a lot of my recipes in my blog here on MFP. As of right now i dont have a lot of crockpot recipes in there yet (as it's just now starting crockpot 'season') but feel free to check them out, i post stuff there occasionally, i'm going to try to post all of my crockpot stuff there soon.

    Fiesta Crock-Pot Chicken

    4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (can be frozen)
    1 can corn
    1 can black beans - rinsed
    1 jar salsa (your favorite kind)

    Put ingredients in crock pot. Cook on low 4-6 hours (sometimes, I go longer if I'm at work). Serve with rice, tortilla, or chips. Also good with a little shredded cheese.

    there is a website that's called somwthing like 365 slow cooker recipes or similar - google it and it has tonnes to choose from.
    I made one two days ago. Just put pork chops on the bottom, then a jar of saurkraut over the top. turn it on and walk away. It's actually a lot nicer than it sounds!!
