I cook soooo much in the crockpot. It is quite easy for a busy woman like myself. Some of my family favorites:

~Pot roast with carrots, onions and potatoes, cook on low and takes approx. 8-10 hrs

~3 large chicken breasts, 1 packet of taco seasoning, and 1 can of rotel tomatoes and diced chilies. You can use this with a corn or flour tortilla, or in a taco salad (or salad with no shell). It is delicious, cook on low for 10 hrs is what I do

~1 medium package of chicken legs, 1 container of chicken broth, red and yellow pepers. Season with adobo or whatever you like. Steam some veggies for a side after the chicken is cooked. Once again, I cook on low for approx. 8-10 hrs

~Turkey tenderlion (preseasoned: teriyaki, rotisserie, cajun, etc). Cook for 8-10 hrs. Sometimes I cook it in turkey broth with carrots and potatoes, sometimes I cook without the broth and just add carrots or forget the veggies and steam some brocolli or make a side of corn

~3 large chicken breasts, 1 container of Lawry's liquid marinade. Sometimes we use a teriyaki marinade then eat with a side of stir fry mixed veggies. Sometimes we use a BBQ marinade (my favorite is Sweet Ray's) and eat on a sandwich. And sometimes we use a Chili marinade and eat it with a side of rice. There are other marinades, too so just pick what you like and make a side with it.

~BBQ chicken in the crockpot. You need 1 bottle of BBQ sauce, approx. 3 breasts, and a tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of worcestershire sauce and a teaspoon of honey. It's delicious.

~Chili; cook 1 lb of ground beef, season it and put that in the crockpot. Add what you like in your chili: jalapenos, onions, tomatoes, chili's, whatever it is you want plus 1-2 cups of water. Let it cook on low for 4 hours.

~This recipe probably isn't the healthiest, but it is a favorite. In the bottom of the crockpot I season 3 chicken breasts with some garlic and onion powder. Then, in a bowl I mix 1 pkg. of ore ida hashbrowns (with the peppers and onions), 8 oz. low fat sour cream and 8 oz. of cream of mushroom soup. After that is mixed I add it on top of the chicken. I add 1 container of chicken broth. I let it cook for 8 hrs on low. As I stir it, the chicken shreds itself. It is so delicious and I get a lot of compliments on this recipe.

~Jerk chicken. You can use a whole chicken, white or dark meat. Buy a chicken rub, season the chicken. Cook for 8 hrs. So it doesn't burn I add some broth or water to the bottom or even an addition liquid jerk seasoning marinade. Serve with cooked cabbage and carrots or rice and peas. Spicy, but so delicious.

~Mango chicken. Another family favorite. I use either chicken legs or chicken breasts, and buy a liquid mango marinade. We eat with rice and veggies.

Sometimes I just make veggies in the crockpot. I'll put in some broth, then carrots and potatoes and red/yellow/orange peppers. I'll bring home a rotisserie chicken to eat with it.

I'm sure you could get really creative and eat anything from chicken wings to ribs to lamb to eggs (yes we have made eggs in the crockpot!) to pizza and pasta. We don't usually eat pork so we don't have any pork recipes.

Invest in some red chili flakes and some bay leaves. 1/4 tsp of chili and one bay leaf with make a big difference to any stock. Even just one fresh tomato will add lots of flavour when slow cooking, because there is a lot of flavour in the skin. Alternatively use a squeeze of tomato puree.

An ALTERNATIVE to salt is chinese five spice or severn spice or curry powder. Note that these contain their own salt. Kallo make stock cubes that are very low in salt so they are more suitable for use with curry powder etc.

You can't ever go far wrong adding mixed herbs.

If you add lots of dry spices it will add some bitterness so you will need a source of sweetness. Fresh vegetables such as tomatoes, peas, carrots and sweetcorn will add sweetness to a dish.

Mustard seed (which will dissolve during cooking) can be used as an altenative or with chili.

Wine or wine vinegar is another thing worth experimenting with.

Cheap chicken is very tastless. Healthier alternatives are ...

Lean lamb. (available from Sainsburys)

Turkey (cheaper and full of flavour)

Venison. (frozen venison is affordable and is cheaper than fresh lamb)

Prawns ( try a bag of prawns, with a fresh chili, a stock cube, 1pt of water, a bay leaf, some mushrooms, some corriander and some green veg. Different varieties of chili have different tastes so experiment)

Beans. There are wide variety or tinned beans available that can be used as a filler if you are little short on meat.

Pork Loin Steaks - Provided you trim the fat off which is easy, this is an affordable moderately healthy red meat if you are on a budget.

Frozen fish. - Another budget food are blocks of frozen fish. Coley is the cheapest but it needs the most help.

A roll or to a frozen chopped spinach is another useful addition to a stock. It is also a useful source of iron that you may not be getting enough of if you are living on chicken.

A soup is a lazy persons cooking sauce, so if you fancy cheating just add a packet soup to you meat, with some water and voila you have a meal. If you like it, look at the soup ingredients and it will give you some ideas.

The most natural and healthy diet for humans is an omnivorous diet, and not a plant based diet, or a meat-based diet per se. The Paleo Diet can be very widely varied and omnivorous for the most part, but the most important thing is that it’s unprocessed, and avoids the worst foods that agriculture brought mankind… refined inflammatory vegetable oils, refined grains (some are worse than others), and sugar!

As you can see, the benefits of adopting a Paleo way of eating can be incredible! I’ve been eating 95% Paleo for the last 5-6 years and I’ve never felt better. I have dozens of friends that have adopted a more Paleo way of eating too, and have seen all sorts of health problems disappear, including eliminating acne and other skin problems, digestion problems, improving brain clarity, and of course, losing a lot of body fat!
