I almost forgot my favorite one…Pork and Sauerkraut

4 lean pork chops
2 cups sauerkraut
1 chopped onion

Put the pork chops in the crock pot and mix the sauerkraut and chopped oinion and put on top of the pork chops. Let cook on low for 4-6 hours. Be sure to use the lowest setting. If you cook it too high the pork chops will fall apart and get mushy. Still tastes good just has an odd texture. I serve it with mashed potatoes . Good old fashioned German meal. Yum!
Serves 4 at about 275 calories each (not including the potatoes)

OH for all you newby's out there... search diet pop cake in the forum to get your sugar fix, haven't seen it posted lately.

Go to foodtv.com and get Robin Miller's "CHIPOTLE-LIME-CHICKEN THIGHS AND JAMAICAN RICE AND BEANS" slow cooker recipe (I also made it with skinless thighs and breasts, to cut calories) It's delicious!. and will fit into your diet plan.

Another good chicken recipe is

"SLOW COOKED TEX-MEX CHICKEN AND BEANS"
For this memorable fix-and-forget chicken stew, use a high-quality salsa to save time without skimping on flavor; choose a jar with a short ingredient list.
Ingredients
* 1 cup dried pinto beans, rinsed
* 1 jar (11 ounces) mild or medium salsa (1 1/2 cups)
* 2 tablespoons chopped canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
* 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 8)
* Coarse salt and ground pepper
* 1 medium red onion, chopped
* 1 red bell pepper (ribs and seeds removed), chopped
* 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream, for serving
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for serving
Directions
1. In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, stir together beans, salsa, chiles, flour, and 1 cup water. Season chicken with salt and pepper; arrange on top of bean mixture. Scatter onion and bell pepper on top of chicken.
2. Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours. (Do not open lid or stir.)
3. Remove chicken from stew; shred into large pieces and return to stew. Serve topped with sour cream and cilantro.
(I served it over rice and omitted the cilantro, which I hate.)
