Crockpot Chili
I soaked overnight about a cup each of Red Kidney beans, chickpeas, black beans and pintos. In the morning I boiled them for 10 min and tossed them in the crockpot with 2 chopped onions, a minced head of garlic, six cups of broth (Chicken and beef mix) 3 tsp of Smoked Chipotle chili powder and the rest of the package of reg chili powder (About 2 tbs or so) and ground beef. I turned the crockpot up to high and let it cook all day. This was the first time I have ever made chili without tomatoes (Baby is allergic) and I really liked it The baby ate it but spit out all the kidney beans lol. The flavour from the smoked chili powder was awesome. I also made vegan gluten free corn bread, that was a fail I think it needed some egg replacer even though the recipe didn’t call for any. It was REALLY crumbly, I know the recipe says it should be crumbly but this is overly so. Totally Addictive Cornbread

I made chicken cacciatore. This is the recipe I used... Paleo Friendly – Chicken Cacciatora : PaleoPot – Paleo Diet Crock Pot & Slow Cooker Recipes

I probably about tripled the garlic though (love garlic and was going to just double it but there was only a couple cloves left on the bulb so I figured what the heck lol) I also threw some basil and oregano on top just after I started it cooking as sort of an afterthought. Added some sea salt at the table. Tomorrow I'm going to shred the meat and eat it as a soup with the juices for lunch I think

I need to find a good way to put pictures up with just my phone. I think I thought of a way but we will see if it works!

I also made this coleslaw without the red onions to go with it. Tangy Coleslaw - Coleslaw for Pork Barbecue

I've got my crock pot spaghetti sauce cooking in the new/used crock pot we picked up the other day. I'd take a picture except DH has the camera in the truck.

[yemanya]

I was worried I wasnt going to get the picture up. I couldnt find the usb cable to connect my phone to the computer. Found it though, YAY!


Slow Cooked Pasta Sauce




I make this at least once a week, I have two shifts a week where I dont get home until 7:45, and DH is hopeless at cooking, im actually gone too long on those days to put the slow cooker on in the morning, even on the slowest setting most food will burn, so I prepare this in the morning, put it in a jug in the fridge, and when DH gets home from work at 4:30 he pours the jug into the cooker and cooks it on the fast setting, then when I get home I just put on a pot of a fast cooking fresh pasta from the fridge section at the supermarket (1min gnocci or 3min ravioli or such) in this picture I have pumpkin ravioli, yum yum.

Its also ridiculously simple, because preparing complex food at 6am isnt a hobby of mine, haha.

Serves 4

Ingredients:
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic (or one, I just love garlic-y sauce)
Olive oil
800ml passata (you can use tinned tomatoes, but I find that the slow cooker dosent thicken the way a saucepan does, so it turns out very thin)
1/8 cup red wine
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp powdered vegetable stock (or chicken or beef, whatever you have)
Salt
1/4 red capsicum
1 tsp dried red lentils
2 bayleaves
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp marjoram


Finely mince the onion, capsicum and garlic and lightly fry off with a tsp of oil until the onion has browned.

Place all ingredients in slow cooker with a sprinkle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.

Cook for 6 hours on low setting or 3 hours on high setting with the lid on.

Turkey chili (I mixed in sour cream and cheddar cheese)


Simple Turkey Chili Recipe - Allrecipes.com

I used chicken stock instead of water, did a can of diced tomatoes and a can of RoTel, and added a can of tomato paste to thicken it slightly.

I tried to post the dishes I have done so far this week last night, but I was having internet issues. Had typed up all 4 recipes and had added the pictures...hit the post reply button and my internet went out and I lost it all. I'll post pics now and then come back later today when I have more time and type the recipes again.

1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 cup catsup
1 cup water
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

About 30 minutes before serving, cut up biscuits and place in the slow cooker. Cook until dough is no longer raw in the center (30-60 minutes)

Yesterday I made Old-Fashioned Pork Chops:


Ingredients:
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

6 boneless pork loin chops

1 medium onion, quartered

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine flour, mustard, garlic salt, and pepper. Add pork a few pieces at a time and shake to coat. In a large skillet, brown chops in oil on both sides. Transfer to a 3 quart slow cooker. Top with soup, onion, and parsley. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until pork is tender. (I usually cook up 1 cup of minute rice to add to the rice in the crock pot so that their is enough for everyone to eat).

And a Crock pot Peach Dump Cake for dessert:


Ingredients:
1 (21 ounce) can of pie filling
1 package yellow or white cake mix
8 tablespoons butter, cut up
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted if you have time.

Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours. Serve warm in bowls. Top with shipped cream or serve side by side with a scoop of very cold vanilla ice cream.

This first one is an italian chuck roast. Italian Style Chuck Roast | Civilized Caveman Cooking Creations



This is a chicken curry soup. I added 3/4 cup of chicken bone broth that I had thawed in the fridge and used a bit of four something else. Didn't want it to go to waste. I used probably half the amount of curry paste called for and glad I did. It would have been way too spicy otherwise. I only used one can of coconut milk, and an orange bell pepper instead of red because it's what we had. http://paleopot.com/2011/12/easy-pal...s-and-cabbage/



This was pulled pork. I make it probably once a month and we looooooove it! The rib is enough for two roasts, I like to get an 8lb roast and cut it in half, rub both down and throw one in the freezer for later. I usually make the breast bbq sauce he links to in his recipe with the pineapple in it but didn't get to it this time. It's great with or without it though and is best I'd you make it a few days in advance so the flavors can meld. We had it with a mango cucumber slaw that we usually pair it with. It's a good combo and they are good mixed too especially when sauceless. Try this recipe seriously! lol CrockPot Pulled Pork | Civilized Caveman Cooking Creations

I made some rice pudding for a snak today
Crockpot Rice Pudding
This is so tasty
3 cups "Milk" I used half rice milk and half coconut
1/2 cup uncooked rice
3 Tablepoon Agave Necter
3 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil
Raisins
Frozen blueberries
1 tsp Cinamon
1 tsp Vanilla Exract
Cook on high in crockpot for 2 hours, Stiring every so often. When it is finished pour some frozen blueberries in and let it sit for a few minutes. Serve.
Note: I found this REALLY sweet, so I would cut down the sweetners to 1 Tbsp Agave and 2 maple syrup next time. It might be ok sweet for someone who usually has a lot of sugar but for me it was too much.

Ham in the crock pot

1.5 cups of brown sugar on the bottom of the crock pot. Place the ham, cut side down, on the sugar, rub another 1/2 cup brown sugar on the ham. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8. That's the base recipe. I cubed a couple of potatoes, an onion and some celery and threw it on top of the ham.
