    2 lbs fresh green beans. 1 lb ham steak (cubed) w/ bone thrown in pot too. 1 large onion and 1 tub fresh mushrooms chopped according to preference. 1 small bag baby carrots (each carrot cut at least in 1/2). 1 bay leaf. 2 Tbsp minced garlic. 1/2 tbsp pepper. 1 cup water. Put on low and cook 6 hrs. Serve over 1/2 cup brown rice or eat as is or w/ side of corn bread.
    ______________

    Bag of frozen boneless and skinless chicken (I like thighs but breast works too), 1 can corn (rinsed) or equivalent frozen, 1 can black beans (rinsed), 1 large onion, 1 tub mushrooms, 1 or 2 tbsp garlic, 1 jar salsa of your choice. Put on low and cook 6 hours (approx). I shred the chicken in the pot before serving. There will be lots of juices in pot so drain or use...you know...whatever works for you. Serve over 1/2 cup brown rice or eat as is.

    Another great one is to throw a couple of skinless boneless breasts into the pot, bury in your favorite veggies - zucchini, green beans, eggplant, Kalamata olives, fresh tomatoes, and then pour in a jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce - stir and then cook on low for 8-10 hours - 5-6 hours on high.

    Serve over pasta or your low carb alternative of choice.

    I put 3 chicken breast in with a can of salsa on low over night for 7 hours. Then i take the chicken and it just falls a part and i have it in a salad with avocado, tomato and a hummus salad dressing. it's delicious and takes no effort to make. (and then i have 2 meals out of the 3 chicken breasts)

    basic split pea soup is so good. celery, onions, garlic, carrot and a couple of bay leaves. i like to bury a small smoked hock in the soup while it cooks, but bacon works if you have nothing else.

    and it's amazing what a difference it makes if you use pork stock instead of just water. i have access to bones so i make stocks in the crockpot as well. they're so worth having.

    My favourite thing to make in the crockpot is a buttload of pulled pork made with honey, liquid smoke, molasses, jalapeños, root beer, and spices. Perhaps not the healthiest but I find it's the best method of making pulled pork in the kitchen! It feeds the boyfriend well enough plus I can always toss the leftovers in portions in the freezer for when I'm craving that.

    Here are the ingredients... guess you can't share the recipe generator...

    Poblano Chicken Stew

    Servings 5 (2 cup servings)

    calories 459; Protein 37 g; Total Fat 19 g; Total Carbohydrate 42 g

    15 Ingredients

    • 8 ounce, Baby Portabello Mushrooms
    • 1.50 tbsp(s), Chicken Base
    • 4 cup (240 grams), Homemade Chicken Stock
    • 8 oz(s), Poblano Pepper, Raw (Grams)
    • 1.50 cup, chopped, Onions, raw
    • 1 cup chopped, Celery, raw
    • 1 cup chopped, Carrots, raw
    • 18 oz, Chicken
    • 8 ounce, Fresh zuchini
    • 1 cup, chopped, Kale, raw
    • 8 oz(s), Tomatos (fresh, diced)
    • 3 Tbsp (3 g), Fresh Oregano
    • 1.50 clove, Garlic, raw
    • 1 C dry (79.5grams cooked), French Green Lentils
    • 2 tbsp(s), Butter

    Brown the onions, poblano and celery in the butter. Toss into the pot with the chicken and veggies - mix well, pour in enough chicken stock to just submerge the veggies - cook on low for 8-10 hours (I cook it while I am at work)

    Highly flexible - but the above just BARELY fits in a standard crockpot - so you might want to shave down the amounts a smidge.
