    This recipe isn't especially low calorie, but it an awfully good way to make a quick hot breakfast.

    Overnight Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

    -2 medium apples, skinned, cored and chopped
    -1 cup Steel Cut Oats
    -3 Tbsp brown sugar (I substituted Splenda )
    -2 Tbsp butter
    -1 Tbsp flax seed meal (optional) - (I didn't use)
    -1 tsp salt
    -1 tsp vanilla
    -1 1/2 cups milk (I used almond milk)
    1 1/2 cups water

    Mix all together in at least a 3 1/2 cup crock pot . Mine was a 6 quart. Cook on low for 7 hours.
    Great to wake up to on a cold fall or winter morning. ENJOY!!

    I got this recipe from a website called "Jamie Cooks it Up" She has a lot of good recipes that could be converted to your dietary needs. Check it out.
    :happy:

    Slow-Cooker Taco Soup
    by Mama Pea
    Prep Time: 5 min.
    Cook Time: 6-10 hours

    Ingredients (Serves 6)
    1 medium onion, chopped
    One 14 oz. can black or pinto beans, drained and rinsed
    1 c. frozen corn kernels (I recommend Trader Joe’s roasted corn)
    One 28 oz. can or two 14 oz. cans fire-roasted or regular organic diced tomatoes in juices
    2 c. vegetable broth
    1 T. + 1 t. chili powder
    1 T. + 1 t. ground cumin
    1/4 t. garlic powder
    1/4 t. onion powder
    1/4 t. dried oregano
    1 t. sea salt
    Garnishes: non-dairy or organic sour cream, chopped cilantro, crushed tortilla chips, cornbread, etc.
    Instructions
    Combine onion, beans, corn, tomatoes, broth, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano and salt in a slow-cooker. Cook on low for 10 hours or high for 6 hours. Adjust seasoning to taste.
    Serve with sour cream, cilantro, tortilla chips and/or cornbread, if desired.

    I made this one the lazy way. Frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts, dumped beans (black, kidney, chili) on top. Added Mexican hominy. Corn. Fire roasted tomatoes, green chilies, chipotle chilies, 1 packet of hot taco seasoning. Cook until done. Shred chicken. Add strips of flour tortilla at the end for dumplings. I've also added green beans and cauliflower to up the veggies and lower calories. It never ends up the same way twice.

    This one is AMAZING! I make baked taquitos with the leftovers.

    Creamy Chicken Verde Tacos in the Crock Pot

    2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
    10 oz of salsa verde
    3/4 block of low fat cream cheese

    Directions:
    Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot.
    Dump salsa over the top of the chicken.
    Cook for 4 to 6 hours on low depending on the size and amount of chicken breasts. (I usually stick a thermometer in the chicken before the end of the cooking time. Chicken breasts will definitely dry out if cooked too long.)
    About 30 minutes before the cooking time is complete, add the cream cheese to the chicken and salsa mixture. (Just set the cheese right on top.)
    After the last 30 minutes is up, check your chicken. Shred. If your chicken is sitting in a lot of juice, you may want to spoon some off before mixing in the cream cheese. (You can always add it back in if the mixture needs more liquid.)

    Serve on tortillas with all the fixin's and Enjoy!

    Seasonings to your taste
    Cook on high about 4 hours. Add in one refrigerator canned biscuit. Cut in small pieces. If needed add a litlle water or chicken borth if you want. Cook another hour you have chicken and dumplings at about 350 calories.

    bump!

    we don't have air conditioning in our house so I try to use my slow cooker as much as possible in the hot months!

    also, this recipe is GREAT http://southernfood.about.com/od/crockpotpotroast/r/r71221b.htm

    but I usually use less potatoes and more carrots and I add mushrooms. My husband thought it was great,and if you use a lean cut of tri tip the calories are totally reasonable!

    Just what I need. My gas was turned off because of issues with the landlord (long story), so I can't use my oven or stove. I need crockpot and microwave recipes.
