crockpot = one nap away from a meal

Is there a crockpot recipe website or blog that anyone will share with me?

Do you have any favortie crockpot recipes you'd share with me?

I pulled my crockpot out today and have fallen back in love with how easy it is to make a good meal.  I made a kick-arse beef stew (ala-filipino Caldareta).

TIA

The only thing I make in the crockpot is beef stew, LOL!?

One of our ALL time faves is Salsa Chicken.  I've gotten a few people hooked on it.  Take frozen chicken breasts, put it in the crockpot.  Pour salsa over it.  Go to work, come home to dinner.

 

You can shred up the chicken and make tacos, enchiladas or just put it over rice.  YUM-O

My BIL made Kare-Kare in a crockpot one time-I was impressed and surprised how good it was. He just put all the ingredients in there and cooked it-

I always make my chicken adobo in the crockpot.  Same ingredients, but set your crockpot on low for 6 hours.  DH loves it this way.  He refuses to eat adobo any other way.

I love this blog  http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/  The writer has decided to use her crockpot everyday for a year without repeating recipes. Everything is really simple and I almost always have all of the ingrediants on hand. Almost all of her recipes are gluten free and she doesn't use pork, which is great since I don't eat it. She has young children too so she has not only reviews of her and her dh's opinions but also the opinions of her kids.

LOVE the crockpot.  I have a crockpot recipe book.  You can also go on allrecipes.com (I think that's the site) and choose crockpot recipes.

My fave is a variation of the one that Jayme posted.  Carnitas - Uses pork shoulder but often we will get beef.  I bottle or can of beer, one 16 oz jar of salsa and 12 oz chicken broth (fill up the empty beer bottle to figure oz).  I let it cook all day.  Then you can make tacos with it.  Soooo good!

We've been doing the salsa chicken for years and love it. You can add some tortillas and rice to make wraps or just do a veggie and eat the chicken as is.

I like a roast for cold days. Fill the bottom of the pot with baby carrots, set roast on top, add beef broth, season to taste. You can also mix in diced potato with the carrots. (Can you tell that when I use the Crock Pot my goal is to not have to cook at all?)

Apple chunks on the bottom of the pot, boneless pork chops on top, add apple juice for liquid, and sprinkle cinnamon over meat. Yummy and oh so tender.

Almost any soup can be done in the Crock Pot.
