    Verde Pork

    1 pork loin
    1 jar of salsa verde
    cumin powder and seeds to taste (I use a lot)

    rub thawed pork loin with cumin powder and seeds
    place in crock pot with 1/2 cup of water
    add 1/2 jar of salsa verde (I like World Table from WalMart)
    cook 4-6 hours on low

    Take out pork loin and shred, reserve about 1 cup of the sauce from the pan after you skim the fat out.
    Add the pork back in the crock with the reserved liquid, add the other 1/2 of the jar of salsa verde.

    This is so good by itself, over beans, with corn tortillas, over rice, quinua, or couscous. It's so easy to make for a crowd too! If you don't eat pork, you can substitute chicken breasts.

    I tried this one that I found here on the board last week:

    Buffalo Ranch Crockpot Chicken

    1lb chicken breast (bonless/skinless)
    1 pkg Hidden Valley Ranch Dip/Dressing mix
    1 bottle Franks Hot WIng Sauce (ZERO CALORIES)


    Put the chicken in the crock pot, sprinkle the ranch on top and pour the Franks Hot Sauce on top (as much as you want)

    I put it on for 4 hours..

    Then I turned it into wraps usin FlatOut (its like a flatbread) (90 calories, 9 grams of protein and 9 grams of dietary fiber)...

    Added lettuce, tomato, wrapped it up.

    Um, what could possibly make you think that an entire bottle of sauce has 0 calories? A simple internet search tells me that 1 tablespoon has between 5 and 23 calories (conflicting info, but neither say 0) and 460 mg of sodium. I don't have a bottle of it to read what it actually contains, but common sense will tell you that unless it's pure water and artificial sweetener, it's going to have some cals. Let's use our powers of reasoning here, people, and not wishful thinking!

    ETA: labeling laws let companies put 0 for some items if they fall under a certain number, so if you are eating one serving, the fat/cals may be negligible. But if you eat the whole bottle, those negligible cals add up. Canola oil is the fifth ingredient in this product, so it is going to add up when you're eating more than a tablespoon.

    Undoubtedly the best chicken tacos you'll ever have are made in a crockpot.

    You'll need 1 or 2 lbs of chicken (I used thighs; they're cheaper), 1 jar of salsa and a packet of taco seasoning. Dump all three ing. into crockpot. Stir, if you're into that sort of thing. And then set your timer to low. You can do this with frozen or thawed chicken.

    Here's the original recipe: http://mychocolatetherapy.blogspot.com/2012/01/crockpot-chicken-tacos.html

    I dare you not to stand over the crockpot, eating it straight outta-the-pot with a fork!!
    I have the same recipe with beef, try adding a few bell peppers sliced and an onion, sliced. The beef takes longer but they should still be cooked .
