    My favorite breakfast...

    Slow Cooker, Apple Cinnamon Steel-Cut Oatmeal

    2 apples, peeled, cored, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
    1-1/2 cups fat-free milk (or almond milk)
    1-1/2 cups water
    1 cup uncooked steel-cut oats
    2 tablespoons brown sugar (I use Splenda brown sugar)
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    1 tablespoon ground flax seed

    Coat inside of 3-1/2 quart (or larger) slow cooker with cooking spray. Add all ingredients to slow cooker. Stir, cover, and cook on low for approx. 7 hours (slow cooker times can vary). Store leftovers in refrigerator. Freezes well.

    To reheat single servings: Put 1-cup cooked oatmeal in microwave proof bowl. Add 1/3 cup fat-free milk or water, microwave on high for 1 minute; stir. Continue cooking for another minute, or until hot.

    Recipe can be doubled in 6-quart or larger slow cooker. Increase cooking time 1 hour.

    Found this one on Pinterest-

    It is in my crockpot today, so I don't know how it will turn out. Sounds good though!

    Crockpot French Dip Sandwiches:

    1 beef roast (use whatever you like- I used a chuck roast I had in the freezer)
    2-3 cans Beef Consomme soup (canned)
    Hoagie buns (I used regular french bread type buns- you could probably save some calories here, but I wanted the real thing!)

    You just put the roast in the crockpot, pour enough soup to cover (I didn't add water), and cook on low 8-10 hours. You serve the beef on the hoagie buns and can dip in the juice.

    It came out to roughly 400ish cals for one sandwich using Kroger Hoagie rolls.

    I just did this, basically the same except I did not use the cream of mushroom soup and served it over brown rice. We thought it was really good.

    Just made this Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup! Delish! I added extra garlic and spinach to mine!
    http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=2216457

    Minutes to Prepare: 10
    Minutes to Cook: 495
    Number of Servings: 6

    Ingredients

    1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
    2 carrots, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
    1 large onion, diced (about 1 cup)
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/4 teaspoon dried sage
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    1 quart low-sodium or homemade chicken stock
    1/2 cup long-grain brown rice
    1 cup baby bella mushrooms, diced (about 5 ounces)
    1 tablespoon cornstarch
    3/4 cup low-fat evaporated milk

    OPTIONAL: 1 sprig fresh thyme, for garnish

    Tips

    Experiment with the herbs and spices: Add a bay leaf, tarragon, rosemary or thyme to change things up.
    For an extra serving of veggies, stir in 4 cups chopped kale when you add the rice or 4 cups baby spinach when you add the milk.
    You could also use wild rice or another whole grain in this dish.


    Directions

    Place the chicken, carrots, onion, spices and stock in a slow cooker. Cook on high for three hours or low for seven hours, then add the rice and mushrooms and cook one more hour. (Turn the heat to high if you haven't already.)
    Combine the cornstarch and one tablespoon cold water in a small bowl, then add to the soup along with the milk. Cook another 15 minutes, then serve immediately.

    OPTIONAL: Garnish with fresh thyme.
    Serving Size: Makes 6 one cup servings.
