Hi,
I looked through the file briefly, but didn't see anything
about what I am looking for.
Does anyone know of any diet recipes that can be made
in the crock pot?
I love my crock pot, but everything I make in it, has
alot of calories.
Any ideas?
Jane

One of my absolute favorite crockpot recipes is also a very healthy
one; vegetarian chili. Since I don't eat meat or dairy foods, my
stews and soups (and chilis) do not contain beef. Most stews and
soups can be cooked in a crockpot and be done by dinner time.
Chili, especially, gets better as it gets older, so cooking it in
a crockpot is perfect.
I actually don't have my recipe on hand, but you can make a good
vegetarian chili simply by following any chili recipe (chili fixings
in those little packets often have good recipes printed on them),
omitting the meat and substituting tofu. Yes, you read it right, tofu.
Yum yum. High in protein, low in fat, it's great stuff.
I try to eat whole foods, so I usually use dry pinto beans that
are first soaked overnight, instead of canned beans. If I don't
make the chili in a crockpot, the beans need to be cooked for
an hour before I even add them to the chili for cooking. But,
cooking them all day in a crockpot chili takes care of that problem.
As far as the tofu, a good suggestion is to freeze it before you
use it. That gives the tofu a great texture, good for crumbling.
Take it out of the freezer the night before you are making the crockpot
chili. If it's still frozen in the morning, wait until you get home
from work and crumble it into the chili then. Let it cook for another
30 minutes or hour to let the taste seep in.
Great stuff, I'm telling you!

Re: .-2
You don't need to brown meat before putting it in a crock pot.
Just put it in first; it's closest to the heat source, so it gets
the most cooking. Make sure there's enough liquid to cover the
meat, too.

You can make the most of your favorite crock pot recipes fit into
your weightloss plan by making a few adjustments:
1. Brown your meat first, and pour off the fat (very important!).
2. Eliminate all (or most) of the fats called for in the recipe.
3. Weigh and measure cooked portions of restricted foods (protein,
starches, whatever you're watching).
Using these guidelines, I have made spaghetti sauce, Creole chicken,
and beef stew in my crock pot and still have stayed on program.
