    Chicken breasts with salsa, cook on low all day. Then add a can of black beans and corn. You can serve over rice, salad or in tortillas

    I use my crockpot several times a week. Today I cut a pear in half, put it with a few tablespoons of water along with a bit of
    cinnamon, and had a delicious healthy dessert. You can top it off with a bit of Greek yogurt if you like that. I do the same
    with apples. I make applesauce at least once a week. After the apples are cooked, I put them in my Vitamix or blender
    and have a nutritious snack.

    Another quick one is skinless boneless chicken breast, some baby carrots, celery, garlic and onions with chicken broth of your
    choice. Season with parsley, sage, pepper, thyme and cook. If you like your soup with a starch, you can cook rice or a pasta
    of choice. I like to add cooked angel hair in mine so it's like a chicken noodle soup. This is low cal, healthy, very
    satisfying and it's easy and quick. I even feed it to my dog and she loves it and gets some veggies into her diet. If you like
    beans, you can add some canned ones that you like.

    It's so easy! I have also used it to make a casserole where I added cream of chicken soup, shredded tortillas, black olives and cheese

    Taste of Homes has a low-calorie crockpot cookbook out right now. I got mine at the grocery, and a lot of the stuff in there can be tweaked to work with gluten free stuff.

    I just throw in some chicken breasts with Ken's Northern Italian salad dressing and cook on low all day. I then either have 'lettuce cups' of it with rommaine hearts, or in tortillas, or over brown rice... options are unlimited!

    I love the crock pot, it takes away my excuse of 'i don't have enough time to prepare a home cooked meal at night'!
