Crockpot: Savory Pork Stew
1 1/3 pounds boneless pork shoulder roast -- cut into 3/4" cubes
1 tablespoon oil
1 14 1/2-ounce can chicken broth
1/3 cup sliced green onions
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon dried sage
salt and pepper -- to taste
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup half and half
In a Dutch oven or heavy skillet, heat oil and brown pork cubes over medium-high heat. Stir in chicken broth, onions and seasonings. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Transfer everything to a crockpot and cook on low 8 hours. Toward the end of cooking time, turn temperature control to HIGH. Then combine flour and half and half; mixing until smooth. Gradually stir into stew. Keep the lid off and cook, stirring until thickened. (depending on the make, model and age of your crockpot, you may need to place stew in a pot to thicken on the stovetop). It's not going to be really thick anyway-just thicker.
It's supposed to serve 4, but don't count on it. You can easily double the recipe and still have room in the crockpot. Oh and PF, it only has 4g of carbs per serving (assuming the recipe as stated makes 4 servings.)

Combine tomatoes and gravy. Place 3 chicken breasts in crockpot and cover with half of the gravy mixture. Place the other 3 breasts on top of that and cover with the rest of the gravy. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
If you have leftovers, chunk up the chicken, dump a can of Veg-All in it and make chicken pot pie for a second meal.

But wait, there's more...
Italian Beef
put your roast in the pot, and for each lb of meat, use one packet of dry italian dressing mix (the prep yourself stuff from good seasons). cover the roast 3/4 with water. let cook all day on low.
when you get home, take out your meat and shred it with a fork. this will be easy b/c it just falls apart b/c it's so tender. put your meat back in the juice for a few minutes. serve it on sub/sandwich rolls.

Tigger, heres another web site that might give you more ideas for recipes ... make double batches of things between now and when the baby comes, put them in freezer bags or freezer safe containers and TWL will have meals ready to fix with little effort ... I've been using my crock pot for years , throw ingredients in the crock pot in the morning , turn it on and go ... there is nothing better than coming home from work in the evening and dinner is ready ! Also winter time meals and crock pots go good together, soups, stews and casseroles cook so well in them ... You can use lots of healthy veggies and they are relatively inexpensive to fix too .
