Wrap in piece do parchment, seam side up and tied on the sides ( I use floss)

            Skinnytaste.com has lots of excellent crock pot recipes. This is by far my favorite: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2010/03/mexican-slow-cooked-pork-carnitas.html
This looks sooo goood with the avocado on top. I think i'll try it that way...0 - 
            Check out http://www.skinnytaste.com/search/label/Crock Pot Recipes
The Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken is particularly good and I prep it ahead of time and throw it in the freezer - then when I want to have it I just defrost and throw the contents in the crockpot! Easy Peasy!!
  One note though - if you are away from home a long time I would recommend substituting chicken thighs for chicken breast - the breast really dries out - even being submerged in liquid!  And the calorie difference is negligible (less than 40 calories per serving of chicken).
Edited for spelling error!
Yes that recipe was yummy!0 -

            I make a lot of Indian and Thai curries in the crock pot! Between that and the rice cooker, it's a no work necessary meal! Also, vegetarian chili, veg soups and stews, mac and cheese and more. You'll find tons of recipes online if you just google it.0

            I haven't read all the replies, and I assume it is in there already, but check out skinnytaste.com!! There are SO many yummy and healthy crockpot recipes, with nutritional info already calculated. I LOVE the chicken taco chili, turkey 3 bean chili (in my crockpot for dinner tonight!!), and cuban picadillo, to name a few. The soups - broccoli potato, stuffed pepper, loaded baked potato are really good too!!0

            I have one night a week where I prep loads of veg for crockpot meals then freeze it in bags so I just need to throw a bag in the crockpot in the morning and come home to yummy food. It means I can buy veg in bulk and makes weekdays far easier (I work long hours).
I bought a timer if the meal needs fewer hours than I'm at work for. I use my crockpot most days.
What kind of timer? I need something like this!0 - 
            bump. Thanks for the great ideas.0
