    check out www.skinnytaste.com I am currently making the pork carnitas slow cooker recipe and they are fabulous. My family loves it. I have also made the chicken pot pie soup and again it was good. She has easy to follow low fat recipes. Good luck!

    I second her page. I have tried several things (including the CP meals) and they are all delicious!

    yep, love SkinnyTaste!


    Skinnytaste is awesome!! There are several crockpot meals on there that are great

    Apologies if anyone has already posted something like this, but this is my go-to crock pot recipe. I'm from New Mexico, so I know tacos! ;)

    Crock Pot Chicken Tacos
    2 - 3 chicken breasts (I also use 6 - 8 tenderloins - they shred better in my opinion . . . )
    1 packet taco seasoning
    1 cup fresh green chile (as I said, I'm from NM, so fresh is ALWAYS best)
    2 cloves garlic (or 2 tbsp minced garlic)
    1/2 c. - 1 c. water

    Combine all and cook on low for 4 - 6 hours. I usually shred the chicken with my spoon in the pot. My sister won a contest at her office with this recipe, so I guarantee it's good. :)

    Pretty much any soup is great in the crockpot. Most of the time you can just dump in the ingredients and go. I keep a recipe box on allrecipes.com, where you can easily do an ingredient search to find recipes to fit what you have on hand, and they have a good slow cooker section. Some of my favorites on that site are:

    http://allrecipes.com/recipe/greek-lentil-soup-fakes/detail.aspx
    http://allrecipes.com/recipe/split-pea-soup-with-rosemary/detail.aspx
    http://allrecipes.com/recipe/comfort-soup-a-la-montreal/detail.aspx

    I always adapt things to make them vegetarian/gluten-free, and soups are generally quite easy to do that with.

    Warning: If you leave cauliflower soup in the crockpot all day, your neighbors might call the apartment manager to see if there is a sewer backed up somewhere. Lesson learned. :-D

    3 chicken breasts, 1 c salsa, 1 packet taco seasoning. Cook til done, then shred the chicken with forks and roll up in tortillas with some cheese and sour cream if you like. :)
    just had this the other night for the first time and it was pretty good I served mine over rice and it gave the rice great flavor with extra sauce on it!

    I don't understand why people don't use the search button. This is at least the 3rd forum on this recently. Just a reminder--use the "search" button and look under the recipe forum. There are wonderful crockpot recipes already for your use. There is a forum called "crocktober " that has tons of recipes.

    I like to purchase a Jennie-O oven ready turkey breast. ( I get mine from the frozen section in Wal*Mart) There is so much you can do with it for yourself and your spouse. (my spouse has no weight problems and he likes his potatoes & bread). I put the already ready breast in the crock pot. It comes with a gravy on the side. When I return home, I heat the gravy and make some potatoes for hubby. Usually have a salad and/or green beans for us. Then take what is left and store for later making turkey sandwiches and/or turkey salad. This is quick, hearty and more uses for left overs whether low carbing or using as a snack or meal or two. And the flavor is great!

    How long in the crock pot and on what setting? I buy these as well and usually have to plan ahead for the 2 hours of baking time.

    Low calorie slo cooker (crock pot) curry
    Generic - Red Chilli Powder, 0.13 tbsp or more to taste Generic - Coriander Powder (Usda Data), 1 tsp.
    Badshah - Jeera(Cumin) Powder, 5 g Generic - Turmeric Powder, 1 tsp
    OR you could use ready mixed kurma powder to taste Lo Salt - Reduced Sodium Salt (S), 0.3 g
    Sainsbury's UK - Diced Pork Shoulder , 2 container (445 gs ea.)
    Fresh - Raw Onion, 300 g
    (Snd Value) - Garlic, Raw, 1 clove (3 g)
    Generic (Usda) - Ginger Root, Raw, 0.13 tbsp.
    Bb Usda - Sweet Potato Raw, 75 g
    Celery - Raw, 110.0 g
    Fresh - Raw Leeks, 120 g
    Generic - Old Potatoes, Average, Raw (Flesh Only), 90 g (1 portion)
    Sainsbury's - Chopped Tomatoes In Tomato Juice Carton, 1 container (390 gs ea.)
    Sainsbury's - Chickpeas In Water, 1 can
    Chard - Swiss, raw, or spinach 50 g
    15 ml sunflower oil
    Method
    1. Heat oil and sweat onions garlic ginger in fry pan with lid on, add spice mix
    2. This creates some liquid so you then add the meat until it colours a little. Stir in rest of veg mix – lid back on and once they are reduced a little add the tomatoes and enough water to make it wet enough to transfer to slo cooker.
    3. Slo cook on High for 2 hours and Low for 3-4 hours. The veggies will mainly disappear into the sauce.
    4. Add chickpeas about one hour before the end of cooking time.
    This made 10 portions of 214 calories each as we do not have big portions about 2 serving spoons each one. You could add plain yogurt near end to make creamier. Enjoy with brown rice
