There is one that DH and I love. We don't make it often, but it tastes good. put twice as much water in the crock pot as you have oats (rolled, thick cut are best, but you can use steel cut-just add more water). then add nuts, raisins, cut up apples, and ground cinnamon. put in the crock pot for overnight. it should be the consistency you like w/in 8 hrs. or the next morning.

Got this in an e-mail this morning...haven't tried it yet. It looked yummy so I thought I would share it.

Crock-Pot Roast Sticky Chicken


• 4 tsp salt
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 large roasting chicken
• 1 cup chopped onion
In a small bowl, thoroughly combine all the spices. Remove giblets from the chicken, clean the cavity well and pat dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture into the chicken, both inside and out, making sure it is evenly distributed and down deep into the skin. Place in a resealable plastic bag, seal, and refrigerate overnight. (Don’t worry if you forget to do this the night before, I forget all the time and it still turns out fine.)
When ready to cook chicken, put the onions into the cavity, put the bird into the crock-pot, and do not add any liquid. As the cooking process goes on it will produce it’s own juices. Cook on low 8 to 10 hours and it will be falling off the bone!
