So I bought a pretty inexpensive one a few months back, it was like $19.99 - for some reason it just ******, took up space and I hated using it so I threw it out.
Nowww, I want one again because there's all these yummy things on Skinny taste. Are there any ones that are really good?
I saw some that you can program? Which maybe might be better if I leave it on while I'm at work? That scares me still.
Ideas?!

Re: Slow Cooooooker!
yup. i cut and measured everything i needed the night before. before i left for work, i dumped everything in the slow cooker and let it cook. by the time i got home, all i had to do was shred the chicken, mix it and let it sit there for a few more min. i also had left over rice and just stirred in lime juice, corn, tomatoes and beans. So good and SO EASY!!! i wish skinny taste had more crock pot recipes!

Re: Slow Cooooooker!
ohhhhhh good to know, that's the only thing that scares me, is leaving it at home while I'm at work.
What kind of cooker do you have?

I program mine and leave it on during the day. When I get home, dinner is waiting for me :)

Re: Slow Cooooooker!
I got mine at walmart like 5 years ago. It just happens to match all my kitchen apliances. I have a the GE profile slow cooker! It's stainless steel and super good! It's a very big one because I got it to make chilli for parties! I have made pot roast, soup and chili with it. Leaving it on overnight and while at work no issues! I love it! It makes the house smell so yummy when you get home! I try to pretend that my hubby made me dinner while I was at work!! haha!

I grew up with always having a crock pot going, sometimes my mom had 2 going when she was cooking for my grandparents... my house is still standing

Re: Slow Cooooooker!
first of all my crockpot is my best friend :) Crockpot liners... even better! The other day I found a recipe for hawaiian chicken, ready...
frozen chicken cutlets (yes I said frozen) 1 bottle of your favorite bbq sauce (cover chicken with it) 1/2 a can of crushed pineapples (drain liquid
put it in the crockpot in that order...dont mix, put crockpot on low fo 4-5 hours (depending on how much chicken you use)
shred chicken with 2 forks mix up and serve over rice....done!!!!!!!!!
It was delish!!!!!!!!
