@glitzy asked me for my orange chicken recipe like 2 weeks ago and I never got around to posting it...I will try to post some here today.

I'm trying a cranberry pork loin today. Not sure how it will
Turn out just yet but I have high hopes.

I love the balsamic pork and balsamic beef (same sauce) from add a pinch.

I've been using the crock pot creatively lately. Usually I have time to get dinner together in the afternoon but then we're out till right before we eat, so I've been choosing recipes that are good after simmering a bit, making them around 3 pm and then plopping them in the slow cooker so we can leave the house till dinner time without fear of burning the place down

So like this gumbo (not really a gumbo, more like a jambalaya.. But it was tasty), I used andoulli sausage and quick cook barley instead of rice, sautéed everything on the stove and then transferred. It was great leftover the next day as well. tone-and-tighten.com/2013/12/slow-cooker-turkey-sausage-gumbo-recipe.html

This lasagna soup was really good too, using the same method. www.familyfreshmeals.com/2012/11/slow-cooker-crockpot-lasagna-soup.html

I made this the normal way, on low for 8 hours and it was great. cincyshopper.com/copycat-chipotle-carnitas-recipe/

All three were kid approved which is a miracle these days.

I might have posted this in the last thread too, but this chicken is really easy and good. stephaniecooks.blogspot.com/2015/07/crockpot-honey-sriracha-chicken.html?m=1

I also like the crockpot 365 blog. Especially taco soup, brown sugar chicken, amd chicken korma.

This seems like a good time to ask...you posted recently about making a bunch of crock pot meals that all sounded low carb friendly. Where did you get your recipes?

I will post some this evening if I can. I googled freezer slow cooker meals. But honestly, I suck at following recipes so I mostly just took the recipes as guidelines.

I just picked up some books from the library that have some awesome recipes - Slow Cooker Revolution: America's Test Kitchen and Slow Cooker Revolution Volume 2: The Easy-Prep Edition. There is also Healthy Slow Cooker Revolution: America's Test Kitchen, which I haven't checked out yet.

I made pork vindaloo yesterday (from the easy-prep cookbook), and we're going to have it for dinner today. I taste tested and it is amazing. I'll serve it with a rice pilaf and roasted broccoli. I can type out the recipe if anyone wants it - it's just onion, paprika, garam masala, cayenne, salt & pepper, a little chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, and boneless country style pork ribs. 

I made pumpkin butter last week and that was good too. The kids have been eating it in oatmeal every morning. It's also fantastic on toast and scones.

I made this chicken and sausage stew (from the slow cooker revolution cookbook) a couple of weeks ago and it was delicious. I'd use chicken or turkey sausage next time because it was a little too heavy with pork sausage.

Super easy: 1 thing of salsa, 1 lb of chicken (season w salt and pepper) cook on high x 4 hours or low x 8 hours. Shred the chicken and serve either on whole wheat tortillas, brown rice, or lettuce w taco toppings.

I'm currently making skinnytaste turkey sausage Italian sloppy joe's and it smells awesome. It was also very easy.

Have you eaten this yet?  I think I'll put it on my list.  Looks good!

I've been making it for a few years & love it!

I do substitute 1/2lb chicken (put in with the sausage) for 1/2lb shrimp

This one is great:

I also like this recipe, but instead of wrapping it in foil and putting it in the oven, I just put in the crockpot on low:

I don't like spicy, do you think without the cayenne pepper it should be fine?

I think so.

[laurenh]

Good timing! I was just thinking that I need to put together my pile of fall/winter slow cooker recipes!

[zarapipe]

I need to try a bunch of these!

[whitemerlot]

Some of these look great!

I have this bookmarked from last year.

I made the chicken tikka masala one today (but with chicken breasts, not thighs), and it was awesome.

[t]

One of our favorites is kinda silly but delish. Chicken thighs or legs, bottle of French dressing, bottle f apricot preserves, packet of onion soup mix. The sodium count is not great, but we love it. Cook on low 6-8 hours. Serve over rice. The sauce is amazing.

[sjh722]

I made this a few weeks ago. Super yummy. The chicken thighs were soooooo juicy and tender. damndelicious.net/2015/06/05/slow-cooker-honey-garlic-chicken-and-veggies/

farmvillelover - Dumb question - did you use fresh or frozen cauliflower?

This was really good.

[MNH2013]

So the cranberry pork loin was really good! Even H who isn't a cranberry fan liked it (though he made a pulled pork sandwich out of his). I know you were waiting on pins and needles for an update

I made pumpkin chili this weekend

1 can of pumpkin
2 cans of chopped tomatoes
3 cans of black beans
2 packets of McCormick Taco and or chili spices
1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 chopped onion ( you can use frozen )
1 chopped yellow bell pepper

Crock for 8 hours on low. Delicious but REALLY REALLY good the second day.

Right now I have a HUGE Pork roast in the crock pot with 2 cups of chicken stock, 1/4 cup balsamic, 1/4 cup honey, and 2 large peeled cored and sliced apple.

I am also planning on cooking a BIG batch of ground turkey in the crock pot tonight and then turning it into chili tomorrow. I had no idea that you could cook ground turkey ( or beef) in the crock pot by just dumping it in with 1/4 cup of cooking liquid per lb. I think I will just freeze this chili when it is cooked in portions for lunches/ easy dinners.

[darnkatz]

The pork vindaloo was amazing. I made Cook's Illustrated's brown rice pilaf (I use broth instead of water) and roasted broccoli to go with it. Yum. I might make naan bread tomorrow to have with the leftover pork. 

I would cut the recipe in half next time because I am going to have to freeze a large portion of it.

Pork vindaloo (Slow Cooker Revolution Vol. 2 Easy Prep Edition)
Serves: 6-8 | Cooking time: 6-7 hours on low or 4-5 hours on high
Slow cooker size: 5.5 to 7 quarts

3 cups chopped onions
3 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I used canola)
1 tablespoon garam masala
Salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (28-oz) can crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons instant tapioca
4 pounds boneless country-style pork ribs, trimmed
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro

1. Microwave onions, paprika, oil, garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cayenne in bowl, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened, about 5 minutes; transfer to slow cooker. Stir in tomatoes, broth, vinegar, and tapioca. Season pork with salt and pepper and nest into slow cooker. Cover and cook until pork is tender, 6 to 7 hours on low or 4 to 5 hours on high.

2. Using large spoon, skim excess fat from surface of stew. Break pork into about 1-inch pieces with tongs. (Adjust stew consistency with extra hot broth as needed). Stir in cilantro and season with salt, pepper, and extra vinegar to fast.e Serve.

Creamy Mexican Shredded Chicken

Add 4 chicken breasts, top with a can of Rotel - Tomatoes and green chili. I added 2 cans but I didn't mind the bit of heat behind this (I usually do). Set for 8 hours. Shred the chicken then add a block of cream cheese on the top. Let melt (I cut up into cubes to help along the process.).


Kale, Bean and Sausage Soup

Add white beans and cooked sliced sausage, shredded Parmesan, vegetable broth  (homemade or store bought) a bit of dry white wine (some in a cup some in the measuring cup (about a cups worth) ), add spices to your liking, I also add mushrooms and leave for 8 hours. Make sure there's enough room to add the Kale later on.

 15 minutes before cooking is finished add the Kale and serve.
