    Tons of great ideas. Definitely need to use my crock pot more often. Usually just do pot roast, pulled pork, and dips for parties.

    Just did this today!

    4-5 lbs pork (I used ribtips cus they were the cheapest)
    1 bottle of Caribean Jerk marinade (make sure to get it all by rinsing it with water and adding that to the crockpot)
    1 serrano pepper (chopped)
    1 large sweet onion (chopped)
    1 of each red yellow orange and green bell pepper (chopped)

    on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours, drain juices into bowl, shred the meat, add juice as you see fit!

    Google Weight Watchers Taco Bean Soup. We cook it in a crockpot on high for 6 hrs. We love it!!!! You can also serve over lettuce, add reduce fat shredded cheese, low fat sour crm., and crushed corn chips. It's yummy!!!!! Skinny taste has a ton of great ideas too.

    I just read your post and want to thank you for turning me on to Skinnytaste.com I am so excited to eat healthy meals that look sooooo good

    Pulled pork - take a pork tenderloin, cover it with diet root beer cook on low for several hours (4-6), remove, drain liquid, shredded pork with 2 forks, pour some of your favorite BBQ sauce on the shredded pork - just enough to cover when tossed over meat (I use Dinosaur BBQ sauce but depending where you live this might be difficult to find so use your favorite).....very easy and quite delicious. I serve this over light wheat rolls.

    love,love,love my slow cooker.favorite new recipe is Reuben Chicken: put 4-5 boneless chicken breast in bottom of crockpot,
    spread a 2lb bag,or canned sauerkraut over top,
    cover with thin slices of Swiss cheese (they have fat-free),
    spread 1-2 cups Thousand Island dressing(again fat-free)
    crockpot on low for 8 hours.

    Delicious even as leftovers.I shred the chicken right in the crockpot when its done.add more dressing if needed when heating up as leftover

    just put a small turkey breast with some water and it will be the most tender meat of all. cook over night.

    if you want you can add onion or cercely, but great just cooked plain.
