    I have been making a variation of the "Dolly Parton Soup" that is supposed to have "negative calories"
    In other words, the calories it takes to digest the soup are more calories than whats IN the soup.
    Honestly, I ponder the validity of this thought ... but it will "clean your clock" so to speak as it is very high in fiber.
    (tastes better than prunes)

    1 small head cabbage (Sliced about 1/4 inch shreds)
    3 or 4 ribs of celery (chopped)
    2 or 3 green peppers (if you like them)
    2 or 3 carrots (chopped)
    6 medium to large onions (largely chopped)
    2 large cans diced tomatoes (I have been using RoTel tomatos for the spicy flavor & peppers... same stuff , just different)
    1 can beef broth ( I have been using 1 can of French Onion Soup )
    water
    salt and pepper to taste

    Place on pot in stove or in crock pot for a few hours until veggies are well cooked.
    I have left it brew all day long and it is really good.

    For a treat I have added 1 TBL of Shredded cheese on top.
    Enjoy!

    I made crock pot "chicken curry" this week. Thought it sounded strange when my sister told me about it, but it was so good.
    Boneless skinless chicken thighs (up to 10. I only used 4 because it was just 2 of us plus toddler)
    sliced veggies - I used green and yellow squash, carrots, and onions
    16 oz jar of salsa
    2TB curry powder
    1 cup light sour cream

    Put veggies and chicken in slow cooker. Combine salsa and curry powder pour over. Cook on low for 8 hours (high 4 hours) Stir in sour cream about 10 minutes before serving.
    My husband and son ate it with rice. I ate it as is.

    Ghoulash (1 cup serving sizes)

    Ingredients:

    Great Value - Sliced Stewed Tomatoes, 2 container

    Heinz - Reduced Sugar Tomato Ketchup 0.5 container

    Ragu - Elbow Macaroni, 2 cup dry = 1 cup cooked

    Lean Ground Beef 93/7, 1 container (16 oz ea.)


    Boil the elbow macaroni according to package directions. While the macaroni is boiling start brown the ground beef. Drain the beef and macaroni. (This can even be done the night before and put in a container in the fridge) Then all you have to do is dump in the crockpot in the morning.

    Next add, reduced sugar ketchup and stewed tomatoes and whatever other spices you like. I also add black pepper and onions or onion powder. Stir well.

    Simmer on low for a few hours. be careful not to cook it too long or the macaroni can get soggy.

    Makes 8 - 1 cup servings

    each serving has:

    219 calories
    28 carbs
    9 g fat
    3g fiber
    13g protein
    7g sugar

    That sounds great!! Rotel is a cooks best friend!!! :wink:
    One whole chicken
    One can Rotel
    One small/medium onion
    One/two cloves garlic, diced
    Salt/Pepper to taste

    Put thawed whole chicken in the cooker, pour one can Rotel over the top. Chop onion to desired consistency, dice garlic and toss in the pot. Add salt/pepper. Turn the cooker on and let it cook on low for 6-8 hours (until chicken is falling apart). Separate chicken from bones and shred. Drain most of the liquid from the cooker, keeping the veggie chunks. Put the meat back in the cooker with the veggies and a little of the liquid. Add seasoning to taste. Serve with tortillas, and your favorite toppings for a tasty meal.

    I like this idea... I also wonder how it would taste with a half a tsp of cinnamon added to the mix?
    Saturday night I put about a tablespoon of salt into a cup of apple cider and marinated pork chops in the brine overnight then Sunday morning before my Zumba class I put it all in the crock pot with potatoes and carrots and cored but not peeled apples and set it to low. Then I went about my whole day around 2 I checked the temp of the meat and turned up the crock pot to high. We ate around 6 and the pork had the flavor of apples and was very tender. Keep the pork at the bottom so that it stays in the liquid. It was delicious.

    Sorry it's not a real recipe, it was just me experimenting! :)
    Enjoy!

    I make a yummy beef stew in my crockpot which is a little different then the norm...Ingredients below.

    1 large bottle of V8 juice
    2 beef bouillon cubes
    Beef stew meet
    baby carrots
    potatos
    really any other veggies you want to add in. I always add lima beans, corn, and peas along with the carrots and potatos.

    The meat I dip in flour and then saute in a pan that has been lightly covered in olive oil. Cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 depending on how big your potato chunks are.
