crockpot

[MarciaTJ]

I love my crock pot, it's easy to clean and I love the fact that all of my food is finished in one fail swoop - however, due to the time the food cooks, and the fact that I am only cooking for one for the most part - I struggle with making this a regular part of my cooking time. However, with fall coming, I am looking for tasty, yet "light" recipes which I can cook in a crockpot for one or at the max two. I'm pretty flexible, fish, chicken, pork or beef.

Any ideas?

Marcia, I was just doing a search and found this that might help you. Check out the site below, it's from CL Community and it's from around 8-22-00. And Vanessa, I've tried sara's kitchen and couldn't pull up any recipes, and I tried it at home and at work. http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/frown.gif I don't know what I'm doing wrong!

I don't know the exact link but try www.about.com. (http://www.about.com.) They have tons of recipes and you can click on a crockpot section.

Also, in the past, I've just gone to my search engine and typed in crockpot. You'll get more than you could ever want.

Hi Marcia,

allrecipes.com has lots of slow cooker recipes-many on the soup and beef sites. I found a really good recipe for shredded barbeque beef sandwiches. Use slow cooker as a key word or visit the specific sites from their homepage.

This is a really fun site, however, some of the recipes are high in fat, but I think that some can be changed.

Have fun!

Jeanne:
I just tried Saras crockpot website. To make it easier what I do is
highlight recipe I want go to edit - copy go to microsoft word go to edit then paste. Go to save as either C or A (floppy disk).
If I want to send it to someone via email (or to myself) I highlight, edit copy go to mail , paste and sent.

Vanessa, thanks for the input. But what I was having a problem with was opening any of the numerous food categories. For example, when I clicked on 'Beans 1' nothing showed up at all. However, I just went to the website and it seems to be working. It must have been a day when they were having problems, b/c like I said, I tried it at work then at home with the same results. I'm glad I tried it again! Thanks.

Jeanne G, I also tried to open several recipes within that website and couldn't get them to open. I thought it was just me. LaurieC

Vanessa,

I do the same thing that you do! I can copy a few recipes onto a page and it makes life so much easier! Sometimes it will copy in a weird way but I will re-format it.

I had the same problem with that recipe site the first time I tried it, but the second time it worked just fine. Does anybody know of any crockpot recipe sites or books that are specifically for low fat or healthy recipes? I didn't notice "low fat" or "diabetic" sections for crockpot recipes, unless I missed something...

I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet--Cooking Light had an article on crock pot cooking in September 1999, so you mgith want to look through your back issues. I noted that we liked the Chunky Sausage and Corn Chili.
