That looks wonderful...I'm going to have to start using the Crock Pot or Slow Cooker more. I don't like to cook that well, but a "mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do", ya know. I can't wait to try some of these different recipes.

Now "2tiredmom" is a wonderful cook and loves it too. I'm sure she'll have some recipes to add to this thread.

Here's one (we just had it tonight) It's simple when there isn't much in the fridge!

1 lg. can chunk pineapple (juice reserved)
1/3 cup vinegar (I use acv)
1/4 cup soy sauce
4 T brown sugar

Chicken pieces (stay juicier if have skin, but I usually use boneless/skinless & frozen from Sams)
Bell pepper sliced
2/3 cup uncooked brown rice

Mix pineapple JUICE and next three ingredients, set aside.
Place chicken in bottom of crock pot, followed by bell pepper, and dry rice
Pour mixed liquids over all.
Cook on high 2-3 hours, add pineapple. Cook until pineapple is heated through.

WOW thanks girl, those recipe's sound lovely!! I will be trying out new things :D
Thanks so much :thumbup: :thumbup: ;)

I saw this recipe and made it for supper last night, and just finished up the rest of the leftovers tonight! It was sooooooo good!

I'm so hungry now lol i need food!!!

Eating veal and other animals AND the slow cooker recipes
 

With regard to veal, there is cruelty-free veal that is not raised in a confined pen. Secondly, we're talking about animals who are bred and raised to be eaten. They wouldn't be on the planet otherwise. Regarding "cow gas" aka methane, eat LESS meat, we won't raise as many cows, minimizing the pollutants.

Now on to the recipes. OMG :eek: - I have never seen such vile sounding dishes. A bunch of canned vegetables in the crockpot is "soup"??? Re-cook frozen broccoli to death over pork and potatoes?:rolleyes: :eek:

I'm still looking for one for my son - a slow cooker that is. What's your favorite brand/model/feature and why?

I have only used a Crock Pot but I know that there's a lot of different kinds. Mine has a high, low, and warm. I really like having the warm feature and use it quite a bit. I use my Crock Pot to keep water hot for hot cocoa when my family is here sledding in the winter.

Does it pour or do you scoop the mugs in for the hot water? How clever!

I use a measuring cup to scoop the water out. It works great because the water's all hot and ready when they all come in. I have a homemade hot cocoa recipe that we use in the water. My grandkids all think that Grandma has the best hot cocoa!!!!

This is a YUMMY dish!!!
