    i have a very simple recipe i like to use when i know i'm gonna be busy....

    crockpot ranch pork chops

    4 porkchops(i get the 4pk thats not as thick as butterfly chops but thicker then the really thin ones)
    2 cans low sodium cream of chicken
    1pkg ranch seasoning

    mix it all in the pot and put on low for about 6hours. it comes to about 270 calories a serving. i usually do some quick mased potatoes to go with because the sauce from the meal goes great over the potatoes. that and the sauce is factored into a serving on the porkchops so it doesn't add any extra calories to the potatoes. my kids and picky wife love this meal

    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!
