Get ready. Rain storm all weekend. So I will be trying out the new slow cooker. I will be posting some recipes once I make some easy, healthy stuff. Let's pray it turns out and I don't have to dump it. LOL
OR

No pictures to post. My first attempt with the new slow cooker went bust. How in The world can someone (me) mess up making vegetarian vegetable soup? I did and it was horrible. In a slow cooker no less.

So today I made a pork loin with sliced apples. It was good.

So those of you that are good cooks. I am reaching out to you. Need some help. And tips on cooking with a slow cooker? And any simple recipes I can try?

Great link Audrey. Thanks!

[attachment=2352]Hi everyone.  So if you want a super easy meal for dinner on meatless Monday or any day, see what I made for dinner yesterday.  Yep made it in the slow ccoker.  I had healthy split pea soup, French bread and a glass of white wine.  Yes I know the last picture defeats the eating healthy but it was apples. I will post the recipe below the pictures. Just an FYI, I am really not a spilt pea soup person but this soup was really good.

Well the pictures didn't paste in the order I wanted.

So below is the recipe

Split Pea Soup
16 oz split peas (bought them in a bag at the grocery store)
4 medium carrots peeled and diced
2 stalks celery chopped
1 to 1 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
2 garlic cloves smashed
1bay leaf
1tablespoon salt--I cut the salt in half
1/2 teaspoon pepper
6 cups hot water, can use vegetable stock instead of water, I used water

Place the ingredients in the slow cooker in the order listed above.
Do not stir
Cook on high 4-5 hrs or slow 8-9 hours.

That is it. So easy. It made enough so I had enough to freeze 3 small containers plus I had 2 servings for dinner of which I ate one and have one for dinner today.

You can also make a simple salad to add to this meal to have more food if you have folks over for dinner or have hearty appetites in your family.

Hello all food lovers......

This past weekend I made potato leek soup in the slow cooker. Another super easy one to make and delicious. I am continuously amazed that I can do this.

So here is the recipe....enjoy!

3 medium russet potatoes peeled and diced
3 leeks cleaned and diced --approx. 5 cups diced.
1/2 cup sweet onion diced
3 gloves garlic minced
4 cups vegetable STOCK, 1 cup water. ( I use stock instead of broth because it is less salty
4 sprigs of thyme. If you can find lemon thyme use that
7 oz plain low fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Chives for garnish

Add all above to slow cooker in the order listed except the yogurt and lemon. Cook high 3-4 hrs or slow 7-8 hrs

Whe done remove thyme sprigs. Stir in yogurt and lemon. Might need to store a bit more to make it smooth for r put into an immersion blender. I just stirred it.

Garnish with chives.

Important to keep yogurt close to room temperature before putting into soup to prevent it from curdling.


Once again I had some fresh, French bread, a small green salad and a glass of wine.
Mmmmmmm good.
