    My wife wrote a slow cooker book with her sister about 2 years ago. It is part of the "Not Your Mother's..." series. They have a webpage that lists a number of the recipes for free and the book is full of them (obviously). Not all are low cal, but there are a lot of good ones. The bison chili is a great low fat one.

    I was given this for my birthday last year, and I love it! What I hated about slow cooker recipes, is that so many of them have cream of something soup in them! Not this one! This is an awesome book with great recipes!!

    I just made an African Sweet Potato Stew:

    I would check the stew after 5 hours or so. I did mine overnight, for 7.5 hours, and it was very very mushy. If this happens to you, just puree the whole thing; it will be different but still good.

    Do you think I could do this in the oven too? I am already at work and was thinking this would be perfect for tonights dinner. =-)

    Oh yeah, definitely! I bet it'll still be fantastic!

    I use 98% fat free cream of celery or cream of mushroom soup instead of the other cream soups as a healthier alternative.
