    Last night I did a pork shoulder roast with cumin and plums, saved some of the meat for sandwiches today.

    It's not the *best* I've done, calorie wise, but it's not the worst either. Since it's not sauced to high heaven it's much healthier than getting a pulled pork sandwich from the local bbq shop.

    I use my crockpot just about every day. I'm signed up for the clean-eating (yes, I know we don't like that term around here but I just preferred it over their other slow cooker menu) crockpot for two menu at emeals and I've never been disappointed. Totally worth the subscription fee, imo.

    Recipe:

    2 lb boneless shoulder roast
    2 plums, quartered
    1 tbsp honey
    .5 tsp cumin
    .5 tsp oregano

    salt/pepper roast, then brown in skillet with 1tbsp canola oil, put in crockpot.
    whisk honey/cumin/oregano, mix with plum quarters, put in crockpot.
    8 hours low.

    I saved half of it for the sandwiches today, so you figure its about four servings. I logged 646 calories for my serving, so it's not exactly low-cal, but it was worth it (and it wasn't unhealthy by any means). :D

    My favorite one is just frozen chicken and salsa. Dump it in and a few hours you have a good meal.

    This is my kind of meal! I've been looking for Crock Pot recipes - specifically chicken. Summer is too hot for the oven and I don't own a grill. Great post, thanks! :flowerforyou:

    Aw, man, cuban food is one of my weaknesses. I did not need to know a picadillo recipe was available.... no matter how low cal it is, if I eat my bodyweight in it it probably won't matter! lol

    Sweet Hawaiian Crock Pot Chicken
    1/2 cup light brown sugar
    1 cup pineapple juice
    1/3 cup soy sauce
    2lb chicken tenderloin chunks.

    Mix all together and cook on low in crockpot 6 to 8 hours. Serve over brown rice and we added a bit of Tapito to it which made it taste more Thai like.
