    A packet of green split peas, a carrot, some water and a big chunk of cured pig.

    I :love: my Nana's pea and ham soup - so simple, SO delicious!

    Tomorrow I will be making shredded beef tacos.

    24 oz beef top round roast
    1/4 c water
    1 Tbl. Chili powder
    2.Tbl. Onion powder
    1 Tbl. Ground Cumin
    1 Tbl. Garlic powder
    1 Tbl. Paprika
    1 tsp Oregano
    1 Tbl cornstarch

    Place meat in crock pot, pour in water, and sprinkle spices over it. Cook on low 6-8 hours until it falls apart. Shred with 2 forks. Sprinkle cornstarch over and mix until juices thicken. Serve with tortillas and taco toppings.

    Without tortillas and toppings: 6 servings: 251 calories, 3 g. carbs, 6 g. fat, 45 g. protein, 70 g sodium, 1 g. fiber

    Note: this spice mix is a low sodium substitute for the pre-packaged taco seasoning. You just add whatever you prefer to thicken the juices, I prefer cornstarch but you can use 2 Tbl. flour or 1 Tbl.arrowroot.

    Nothing in there tonight. Two days ago it was beef stroganoff. I used to follow the recipe and cut the beef into small pieces and brown it before putting it in, but then I got lazy one day and just threw in a chunk of beef (still frozen.) It was awesome. After several hours in the crock pot, I poked it with a fork and it magically shredded itself into a perfect, tender consistency. Lesson learned.

    When we get the 1st wk of Fall temps,we will have beef veggie soup,then bean soup & that will take us to chili season. Like others mentioned,I only use slo cooker for soup,stews etc. neither of use wanted left overs as meat is cooked thru & thru.
    Might try some new recipes to see if anything has changed.

    Homemade yogurt. I don't use my crockpot for too many other things yet. Looking forward to some of the other recipes so I can expand my horizons.

    Adobe Chicken in Slow Cooker

    1 small sweet onion, sliced thin
    8 cloves of garlic, crushed or grated

    Place chicken pieces in slow cooker. In small bowl mix the onion slices, garlic, soy sauce, and vinegar. Pour over chicken. Cook on low 6-8 hours.

    You can serve this over rice or noodles.

    Nothing, darn it! i love a slow cooker pot roast. Lean meat, lots of veggies, as many as will fit. I'm gonna get a roast this Saturday.

    Airangel, I have NO idea what you said. Must be behind the times with newer ingredients.
