    This sounds delicious, and I am anxious to try it. I love using my crockpot. I have steel cut oats cooking as we speak.

    Maybe a silly question, do you cook the quinoa before putting it in the slow cooker? Sounds delicious!

    You shouldn't have to; since it is a grain like rice, it should cook well in the broth during its 8hr cooking time. :)

    Sounds delicious.

    I use low calorie boullion, so I should be able to get the calories down.

    bump to try, I rarely use my slow cooker as stuff seems watery and flaccid even using pre-fry methods.

    Looks good. Cabbage is good for us, if we can bring ourselves to eat it!
