Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Howdy all- In my unending quest to find new recipes, I thought I'd ask everyone for their favorite casserole or crock pot recipe. I eat small meals so I find these types of foods work best. So, if everyone would post their favorites (ideally with a link to the recipe or the recipe)-that would be great!

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I have to admit that I usually use my crock pot when there are lots of bits of veg hanging around in the fridge and I just throw it all in with some lentils. I really feel that I should look up some proper recipes, even the ones that came with the cooker look pretty good. I love what happens to potatoes when left on all day, they go so soft and creamy. I have seen that you can bake potatoes in it, which I must have a go at one day. I have just treated myself to a new cooker. I had a huge one that isn't really used any more and a tiny one that kept boiling over all the time, even on it's lowest setting. So, I bought a medium sized one and it's the best yet, a Kenwood. So, I'm going to look up some proper recipes too and be a bit more adventurous with it this winter.

The older ones had a lower temperature setting than the new ones, as people became more afraid of bacteria from leaving food cooking for 10 or so hours at temps not hot enough to kill the baddies. Recipes from older books won't work on newer ones, and vice versa. >So, I'm going to look up some proper > recipes too and be a bit more adventurous with it this winter.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Thanks, I'll join up and have a look. Mind you, it's not quite slow cooker weather yet, so I have time to collect some ready for the winter.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 it is slow cooker weather here in Arizona...it doesn't heat up the rv!!! I do cook things overnite....He does his stuff and I do mine...or we can put it outside on really hot days! I even bought a 2 qt. but it cooks too hot, so I returned it. I guess they did change the temps for them or they don't use smaller heating elements in the small pots!I am learning to grill veggies on the bbq now....just too hot to stand over a stove Nancy and EdOur travel adventures...http://ncyg46.blogspot.com/http://360./ncyg46http://www.flickr.com/photos/ncyg46/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I have a new crock pot that has three removeable bowls in it. I bought it a walmart. I love it I bake my potatoes in it and it does not heat my kitchen up. It has been over 100 this week in Tyler Texas Eva __________ Click now to find a divorce attorney near you! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2131/fc/Ioyw6iiggZrLsBn10ERyDML0MRxgJ1SHamlL\ SFzp4LGQJzGGgmXurx/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hi all,I wrote a blog post listing a bunch of vegetarian slow cooker recipes. Some are links to the fat free vegan site, but there are others to my site and the crockpot lady's site. Maybe it'll give you a few ideas at least. http://chowspice.com/blog/category/slow-cooker/ They are not all vegan, but everything can be easily modified.Good luck! I love my slow cooker!!Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Nancy, Grilled veggies are really good. I sliced up potatoes, yams, zuchini and BBQ'd them on foil. It is good I brought a lot because everyone wanted some but they put butter on theirs. I put mine on a whole wheat bun and added fresh tomatoes, pickles, onion and etc. It was a home made veggie burger that was delicious. Everyone else had hamburgers. I am not finding vegan eating to be a problem for anyone. They always want my food. Shelley H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
