long story short i have very limited time to make food after i get home from the gym. I go to work at 7am leave at 5pm, get home from work at 6pm workout until 7-ish pm, then go to bed at 9pm. i need some slow cooker meals, please :) i like almost all meat, besides pork, but maybe i don't like it becuase it was never made properly? the pork my mom use to make always had a lot of fat on it and was chewy. im open to trying new things.

    chicken or turkey are both great in the slower cooker.

    Basic crockpot dinner:

    1 lb of chicken breasts or lean, boneless pork loin chops
    1/2 cup chicken stock
    tablespoon of granulated garlic
    tablespoon of your favorite herbs or herb blend
    2 cups Frozen mixed vegetable blend of your choosing
    half an onion rough chopped

    Put chicken on the bottom, add the spices and veggies, then the stock.
    Makes 4 serves. You can expand on this, it is just a template. You might want apples with the pork in addition to the onions.
    You might prefer all green beans or broccoli instead of the blend. It is up to you.

    Here are a couple of good websites to check out as well:
