    Chicken Adobo (shamelessly stolen)

    http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/filipino-chicken-adobo-recipe/index.html

    I just chuck the chicken into the crock pot at the beginning of the day.

    Ingredients
    4-5 lbs. chicken thighs
    1/2 cup white vinegar
    1/2 cup soy sauce
    4 cloves garlic, crushed
    1 tsp. black peppercorns
    3 bay leaves
    Directions
    Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Cover and marinate chicken for 1-3 hours. Bring to boil, then lower heat. Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and simmer until sauce is reduced and thickened, and chicken is tender, about 20 more minutes. Serve with steamed rice.

    That's tomorrow's dinner sorted, sounds amazing - great steal lol!

    I made this in my crock pot last night - not only does it taste pretty good, but my apartment smelled AMAZING when I woke up today!


    2 1/2 cups peeled and cubed macintosh apple
    3 cups peeled and cubed sweet potato
    1 1/2 cups cleaned and cubed butternut squash
    1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

    2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
    1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
    1 tablespoon honey

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread apple, sweet potato, and squash on a greased cookie sheet, then sprinkle with the pumpkin pie spice. Roast for 10-15 minutes.

    Transfer the roasted veggies to a crock pot and top with 2 cups of vegetable broth, a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and a tablespoon of honey. Cook on low for 6 hours. Mash vegetables for last half hour of cooking, or use a blender after the soup has cooled to give it a smooth, creamy texture.

    4 servings, 165 calories each.

    This sounds AMAZING!!!!

    Really good italian beef recipe, not the healthiest but it's delicious:

    3 pounds sirloin tip roast
    1 12oz bottle of whatever beer you like
    1 jar sliced peppercini peppers
    1 pkt dry italian good seasoning dressing

    on bottom of crock pot mix half beer with some seasoning and some peppercinis with some juice. Place beef on top, pour rest of beer over it, sprinke seasoning (reserve 1/2 tsp) and more peppercinis with juice on top. Cook for 8-10 hrs on low. Shred beef (take off fat too) and then stir it back in crock pot with the rest of seasoning. Cook for only half an hour more. I wouldn't use all the peppercinis unless you like it extremely hot, I use a little less than half a jar because I'm the only one in my family that can stand a lot of spice! You can adjust the seasoning and peppers however you want too.
