Love my crockpot, especially in winter. Check Canadian Living's website ( recipes online) for some great recipes. Latest new one I tried was yummy butter chicken. It made the house smell fantastic, and made enough sauce to put some in the freezer for another time.

I recently tweaked this recipe by using 1 c. of salsa (instead of 1/2 c.), 2 cans of black beans (instead of 1). And I usually add a bit more cream cheese than what the recipe calls for.

The nutrition information is based on the recipe, not my alterations.
