Frozen Bread Rolls

Frozen bread loaf
grease (butter, margarine, oil, etc.)

Use slow cooker to thaw and raise bread. It gives it a beautifully brown crusty round loaf. Generously grease frozen bread loaf. Place in completely greased baking pan. Place pan in pot, cover and heat on low 2-3 hours or until bread is thawed and starting to rise. Turn to high and bake 2-3 hours or until it is brown and tests done.

Granola

5 cup rolled oats (NOT instant)
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup salad oil

(Add in: raisins, coconut, nuts, seeds, etc.)

Place oats, honey and oil in the crock pot, mix well. Cook on low, stirring every half-hour or so until dry and golden, about 3 hours or so. Keep lid propped open while crocking; I use a chopstick. When cool, mix in raisins, nuts, etc. Store in air-tight canister.

Crock Pot Chicken And Dumplings Ala Jessica

4-6 chicken breasts, browned and seasoned w/ salt & pepper
2 cans of Cream O' Chicken Soup
1 cup of Evaporated Milk
1 cup of Water
1 can of green beans, drained
1 can of corn, drained
1/2 can of lima beans and carrots
1 tsp of Poultry Seasoning

While browning the chicken breasts, heat the crock pot on High and pour in all of the drained veggies.
Whisk together the water, milk and soup to get out all of the lumps. Pour the soup mixture in the crock and stir in the poultry seasoning. When the chicken is browned and cool enough, shred it into the crock pot and give it a final stir and a sprinkling of extra seasoning before putting the lid on and letting it sit on High for 2/12-3 hrs.
Add 6 refrigerated biscuits (cut into fourths) to the bubbling crock pot and let them cook for 45 min. before eating. These served as my Dumplings.
The biscuits worried me a little at first because they had the "butter" flavoring, but in the end I think that they just added more flavor. Total cooking time,
including Dumplings was only 3 hrs.

1/3  cup red raspberry fruit spread or jam
1 tsp prepared mustard
1/4 tsp ground pepper
2  tbs cornstarch

Remove chicken from pot & keep warm. Turn control to HIGH. Mix together cornstarch & cold water and stir into cooking juices in slow cooker. Cook on High, stirring occasionally 10 - 15 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Spoon over chicken. Serve over cooked rice.

LISA'S  SLOW AND SAVORY VEGGIE SOUP

3 diced carrots
3 diced potatoes
2 stalks celery
1 med. onion, diced
2 cup chopped cabbage
2 cup green beans
4 cup diced tomatoes (or 1 qt. canned, if you use them)
1/2 cup hulled barley
2  tbs dried parsley
1 tsp dried basil
big squirt of Bragg's liquid aminos
(salt and pepper to taste - if you must use them)
Cover all with water.

Sometimes we add some corn or peas too - veggie amounts can be adjusted to what you have. If I have Barth's Nutra-Soup vegetable broth powder or Sue's Kitchen Magic or Bernard Jensen's (broth seasoning, whatever it's called) I add a little of that 1-2 tbs, but if this is simmered all day it makes its own great broth.

We simmer this in the crock pot all day. It fills a large one -- we have a large family. Then we serve with homemade whole wheat bread and a raw veggie tray. It never fails to bring raves from family or non-vegetarians.

Salsa Chicken

2 cans niblets corn
4 chicken breasts, cubed
2 cans black beans
1 jar chunky salsa
1 cup grated cheddar

Put the corn in the bottom of the crock pot.  Place the chicken cubes on top.  Dump in the salsa.  Dump the beans on top of the salsa and stir into the salsa a bit.  I start it on high to get the chicken going, and
then leave it on low the rest of the day.  Add the cheese just before serving.  Serve over rice.  This feeds 4 of us for 2 days plus a couple of work lunches for me.

Crock Pot Ham

This recipe (or cooking method) works really well with the absolute cheapest bone-in ham, the holiday "Loss Leaders" at 49, 59 cents a pound, sometimes less. DON'T GET THE SHANK END.

Put your ham in the crock pot and pour in a large bottle of cheap pancake syrup (be sure that it has maple flavoring in the syrup).  Let the ham cook on low for 4-6 hours.  I turn my ham over if possible or baste it a few times during the cooking.

My family loved this on New Years day last year.
