BUMP...bump/ bump I love my crockpot. It's mostly my winter cooking. Makes house smell fantastic! Oh and if you haven't heard yet there are crock pot liners...great inventions like plastic bags that line the pot. No clean up....he he he


as for recipies... anything

veggies
sauce or soup seasonings

best to not put salt or pepper in cause it gets stronger the next day. I let each person salt/pepper as needed.

I love love love my Crock-pot!

One of my favorite and easiest things to make is simply cooking chicken breasts with salsa verde in it. Just put in 4-6 chicken breast and enough salsa to cover the chicken, cook on low for 7-8 hours and that's it! I shred it with a fork and us for tacos, enchiladas or eat with beans and rice.

One cup of this ( for lunch) has really low calories... but beware if you're watching sodium. The sodium is extremely high. It is very yummy if not!!

Love my crockpot, especially in winter. Check Canadian Living's website ( recipes online) for some great recipes. Latest new one I tried was yummy butter chicken. It made the house smell fantastic, and made enough sauce to put some in the freezer for another time.

I recently tweaked this recipe by using 1 c. of salsa (instead of 1/2 c.), 2 cans of black beans (instead of 1). And I usually add a bit more cream cheese than what the recipe calls for.

The nutrition information is based on the recipe, not my alterations.
