Recipe Exchange: Crockpot
Okay ladies... It's Friday (Thank goodness!!)
Post your favorite crockpot recipes here. I will update the blog when I'm home tonight, so we have them all together in one spot & don't have to search for the post. Since we all know how well the Nest's search function works!
These should be tried & true recipes.. ones that you have tried, that you like. Not just one that look good. (I'm sure we've all had those "but it looked so good" moments!)
And... GO!

Here is mine

We LOVE this recipe. It comes out mushy, but I still think it tastes fantastic.
I leave out the olives and sour cream, and add black beans.

Gluten Free Crock Pot Curry Recipe with Coconut Milk
You'll need:
2 tablespoons light olive oil
5-6 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 red onion, diced
2-3 teaspoons gluten-free red curry paste, to taste
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
2 stalks of celery, chopped
1/2 head white or purple cabbage, shredded
2 large carrots, peeled, sliced or chopped
1 large potato - gold or sweet, diced
2 apples - 1 tart, 1 sweet - cored, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup golden raisins
1 14-oz. can chick peas, rinsed and drained
3 cups vegan broth, more if needed
To add in later:
1 cup light coconut milk , more if needed
Pour the oil in the bottom of the Crock Pot. Add the garlic, onion and spices. Stir to coat. Add the rest of the ingredients in the first list. Stir briefly to combine. Cover and cook on low heat for six hours or until the vegetables and potato are tender. I stir the curry once during the afternoon to make sure all the veggies were moist and mingled. Before serving, add in the coconut milk, a touch of agave, seasoning and lime or vinegar. Add some chopped cilantro. Taste test and adjust seasonings, balancing the sweet tartness with the fiery creaminess. If you need more liquid, add broth or coconut milk. Cover and heat through an additional 15 minutes or so. Serve spooned over rice. Makes 4 servings.A drizzle of raw organic agave , to taste
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
A squeeze of fresh lime or a teaspoon or rice vinegar, to taste
Chopped fresh cilantro, to taste
I will totally try this! It sounds super yum!
I used to have a good Chicken Cacciatore recipe that my mother gave me, but I don't have it anymore because my SO won't eat anything made in a crockpot.
This is one of my fave shredded beef recipes, its not mine, a WC girl posted it awhile back.

28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
15 1/4 oz. can corn undrained
15 oz. can black beans undrained
15 1/2 oz. can red kidney beans undrained
1 envelope dry powder Ranch Dressing mix
1 envelope dry taco seasoning

Combine all ingredients in crock pot. Cover, cook on low 4-6 hours.
I use turkey, seasoning packets & meat from sprouts, organic beans & veggies.
What do you call this? I wasn't sure what to title it when I added it to the blog... I said tacos, but I don't think that's entirely accurate.
Whatever it's called, it sounds yummy!
