      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!
