5 ingrediants or less/crockpot

I made pineapple terriyaki pork tenderloin.
6# pork tenderloin (it was on sale!)
1 Large can crushed pineapple
1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
jarred chopped garlic and ginger, about a TBSP each. (I know that makes 6 ingredients, but it was so good.)

I pulled the pork and portioned out into 5 ounce servings and stocked my freezer. Great in a wrap with some bell peppers cut into strips.

The sugars seem a bit high, but it made 17 servings, so all divided up it ended up being VERY diet friendly!

I made soup in mine last night.

2 butternut squashes
1 sweet potato
1 parsnip
veggie broth/water
spices

After a few hours, I mashed it all with a potato masher, and then used a stick blender to make it really smooth.

I also occasionally do a big batch of chicken breasts with chicken broth and spices, then use the chicken all week for different meals. It saves a ton of time.

Spicy? For my lunches-

2.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast
4 Jalapenos sliced
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 can black beans rinsed and drained
1 can sliced chiles

Cook on low 4-5 hours. Shred and enjoy!! A little high in sodium but very tasty!!

Whole chicken with butter and spices rubbed into the skin, onions, potatoes and carrots. Put the veggies on the bottom of the pot and place the chicken on top. Cook for 8 hours on low and enjoy stupidly easy delicious roast chicken and veggies.

Bumping for recipes!

Last night I made a pork roast in the crock pot OMG it's to die for

1 pork roast (any kind will do even porc chops)
1 can of mushroom soup (but I use 2 cans)
1 envelope of onion soup
1/2 cup of water

Just set the pot in the bottom of the crock pot smear the mushroom soup on top of the roast then sprinkle the onion soup mix on top and just ad the water.

Cook in slow cooker on low for about 6 hours

Voila!!!! Yummy Yummy

Note: I am one of those people that has to pick and choose my carbs wisely. I try to limit myself to 100, or less per day. To those that have bodies that can deal with the carbs, I am jealous. I am always on the lookout for carb-friendly knock off recipes. Here is one I make to satisfy my need for soup in the cold, winter months. Surprisingly good and you would be hard pressed to tell it wasn't split pea soup. I also have one of the HUGE crockpots and tend to cook in large batches just a few times a month, stocking my freezer. Adjust to your serving requirements.

Faux Pea Soup *makes approx. 48 ounces. (I usually double this) I get 8-6 ounce servings at (cal/carb/fat/protein/sugar) 57/9/0/3/270/2.
1-16 ounce bag frozen cauliflower
1-16 ounce bag green beans
1 bunch fresh parsley, Chopped coarse
1 bunch fresh green onion, chopped coarse
1 quart chicken broth
s & p to taste. (or add a bit of garlic, season to your taste.)

Cook on low all day, adding a bit more water if needed, puree. So YUM!

Not sure if this was on here, but I found it on Facebook and have made it 3x so far. Yummy

3 envelope roast

Roast of any type
package of Italian seasoning,
package of ranch dip
package brown gravy
2 cups of water.
Mix all ingredients, brown the roast if you want to . Cover with flour then brown on all sides.
Put in slow cooker, pour liquid over, cook on low for around 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
It is so good, falls apart.
Mix in some flour or corn starch to the liquid for gravy.

I literally JUST made this last night! It's so yummy and I don't even thicken up the gravy. Plus I substitute 1 can of beef broth for the 2 cups of water...this couldn't be easier and so tasty. I just leave it in the crock pot for a few hours on high, shred the meat with a fork (it'll fall apart) and turn down to low and let simmer longer.

In for the recipes!

At the moment, I am really into slow cooker baked potatoes
(Prick with a fork, Put some olive oil, salt and pepper on the potato, wrap in foil, put it slow cooker for 5 hours on high or 8 on low, eat!)

I've used the site below for a few recipes. They are all pretty simple and good.
