I haven't had a chance to read through this thread so someone may have already suggested this but this is one of my family's favorite crockpot meals:
BBQ pulled chicken sandwiches
boneless, skinless chicken breasts (can be frozen)
1 yellow onion, diced
1/2 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce (or you can make your own)
Turn on low and leave for several hours.
About 30 minutes before you're ready to eat, take the chicken out and shred it with a fork and then put it back in the crockpot. Take the lid off and let sit on high for about 20-30 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
Serve on whole wheat hamburger buns (or if you're going no-carb, eat by itself with a side of salad). It's absolutely delicious!!0 -

Oh and you can make really good shredded chicken for tacos too.
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (can be frozen)
Container of fresh salsa (or you can make your own)
Sprinkle of taco seasoning (depending on taste)
black beans (or pinto beans, whatever beans are your favorite)
Salt, pepper
Set on low for several hours.
About 30 minutes before serving, take chicken out and shred it. Place back in crockpot and set to high for about 20-30 minutes to let the sauce thicken.
Serve in taco shells, tortilla shells or whatever. If you're going no-carb, you can make a salad and top it with some shredded chicken, low-fat cheese or whatever else you want. It's really good!0 -

I have been home with my daughter for the last 2 1/2 years and found that financialy it was time to head back to work. I was so used to thinking about what to make for dinner at about 10 in the morning that I am having a hard time adjusting to planning ahead!! I wan't to make sure my daughter, husband and I are eating right too!! ( it's just too easy to eat out when I am not prepared for the upcoming dinner)
Does anyone have some EASY (I don't want to go out and buy like 15 spices) and BASIC crock pot and casserole meals (ohh and healthy too)? I think my best bet will be to prepare for the week evey Sunday and stick some ready to cook meals in the freezer...
Any recipes or advice would be much appriciated!
Weight Watchers new cookbook released in 2012 has a complete section of crockpot recipes! Might want to take a look!)
