Well...had to have the 6qt smart crock pot...now I need to find recipes other than beans and stew. Any suggestions? Saw a post here for Chicken Cordon Bleu...looked good, but I'm afraid to try it...can't eat rocks for supper! Any suggestions are welcome! - Kitty

Here is one that I just made a few days ago and my husband decreed it to be a keeper. Super easy.

Take a whole, uncooked chicken. Wash is and remove any gizzards and such. Salt and pepper to taste.
Rough cut an onion and put this in the bottom of the crock pot. Put a 1/4 stick of butter (optional) inside the cavity of the chicken and put the chicken in the crock pot on top of the onion. Add 1/2 cup of water. Cook on low until cooked through.
(I put mine in mid-morning and it is done by 4:00 or so. )

About an hour before you want to eat add a package of rice and 3 cups of water. I use brown rice. If you are really ambitious you can add some chopped celery at this time also. Cook for an hour (or so) and serve.

Very easy. The chicken is very tender when cooked this way. The rice is flavorful from the chicken juices.

Enjoy.

Take a large chuck roast season with salt, pepper, italian seasoning; empty a can of peppercini's over the top.
Cook on low for 8 hours.
Have on tortillas.

Yummm We had it sunday with pork roast.

The chicken cordon bleu is tdf My husband loved it. It sounds so good I may have to make some tonight.

Thank you for the ideas! We did the whole chicken..that was awesome. Don't know what I did wrong with the rice. There were some crunchy and some lumpy. Next time I think I'll put french fry cut potatoes on the bottom for the juice. We'll be trying the chuck roast tomorrow and the chicken cordon bleau this weekend. Hopefully this will 'spice' up our menu. We get in such ruts sometimes! Thank you again! - Kitty

If the link doesn't work, its at http://www.cooks.com called Easy Crock Pot Lasagna

I have a Word document with 100+- crock pot recipes I will gladly send you but you must have Word to be able to view it. Most of the recipes also have the WW pts. values.

I believe they are just called Meringue Cookies.

Not sure what size slow cooker these are for, but there are a lot of slow cooker recipes on this site..

Add food coloring and make them for ANY occasion!! Showers, Valentine's Day, St Pat's Day, Easter, etc...they're SO yummy! Darn it....now I'm gonna have to make some; haven't made them forEVER. Give your spoon a "spin" and you'll get the little "kewpie" on top.

I did a google for meringue cookie recipe and got a lot of recipes for these and adding different ingredients to them. HTH

The 365 days of recipe link is really good.

Today I have a 3 - 4 lb pork butt in the crock. I mixed 2 cans of cola with one pkg of dry onion soup mix (Knorr, or Lipton) and poured that over the butt....cooking on low for 6 - 8 hour, til fork tender.....mmmmmmmmm!

Great share Karen! Thanks for the ideas, will try this over the weekend. I think this is really good.
