Hello mommies! Baseball season is starting again and I have promised myself that we wouldn't eat at McDonald's every Tuesday and Thursday this year. Can you guys give me some good recipes? I thought so.

 (the butcher at Tom Thumb cut it for me)
3 carrots, chopped
 (or about 9 oz. of cut baby carrots)
1 small onion, chopped

1 pound small (1 to 1 1/2-inch) red potatoes, cubed

1 (8-ounce) container sliced fresh mushrooms

1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste

3 cups low-salt, fat-free beef broth

Directions

1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; coat beef cubes in flour mixture. Place in a 4- to 6- quart slow cooker. Add carrots, onion and remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low heat for 7 to 8 hours or on high heat for 4 hours.

I recommend www.recipezaar.com. Search for crock pot recipes and then sort on rating. The top rated recipes are usually pretty darn good, and I recommend you read the rating comments as they are great about giving you tips on how to make the recipe even better.

I adapted this recipe for my 7 quart crock pot last week and it was fabulous. http://www.recipezaar.com/Olive-Garden-Copycat-Zuppa-Tosc...

Bon appetit!

1 frozen turkey BREAST (not the entire turkey)
1 package of french onion soup
1 can cranberry sauce (the berry chunky kind)
dump in the crock pot, and put a little water in
cook on low all day or high until done

this is so good as a main dish with veggies, and then pull it apart to make cold sandwiches.

There is a crockpot group on cafemom.com. They have recipes complete with shopping lists. They even do weekly menus for everyday of the week! Check it out. I don't use the weekly menus, but it is great for ideas. We have ballet at 3pm and karate at 6pm on Tuesdays so we use our crockpot a lot. Right now I am stuck in the beans, soup, stew rut, but with the somewhat chilly weather, that's fine. LOL

Before my sister-in-law passed away a few years ago from breast cancer, she gave me a list of her favorite crock pot recipes. She was such a great cook. I have a huge Word document with a ton of recipes...even desserts. I'd be happy to forward this file to you if you will email me at ____@____.com

This is the best ever crock pot chicken. I came acoss it on another message board and make it all the time
Crockpot Chicken Alfredo
4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 -8 oz pkg cream cheese
3 T butter
1 pkg good seasons zesty italian dressing (by salad dressings, very important indgredient for flavor)
1 can cream of chicken soup

Mix last 4 ingredients up in crockpot and nestle chicken in the crockpot pushing them in. Cook on low 6 to 8 hours. As you know this will vary a lot on if you have an old or new crockpot. Mine is new and cooks way too fast. It is usually done in 3 hours on low.

Serve over pasta with a side of broccoli.
