I can't believe it is 2012! When I was a kid I thought I'd be married with children by now, that we'd have flying cars and hoverboards, and that there would be a resort and apartments on the moon. So far, NONE of that is true. But, that's life for ya, you never know what God has in store for you until it's His timing.
But I digress, I got on here to post a recipe! I got myself a Crock-Pot for Christmas! YAY ME! haha
And I have been experimenting in the kitchen.
Last time, I had a little bit of left over turkey (I freeze my left overs for health reasons) so I put that in the pot along with a pound of browned ground turkey (seasoned while browning with Italian seasoning blend), chopped carrots, chopped purple onion, chopped celery,chopped fresh green beans, about a cup and a half of brown rice, a quarter cup of lentils, a half cup of red kidney beans (uncooked) and water to fill the pot a little over 3/4's full. I cooked it on low heat for the day stirring occasionally and adding water as needed. I added some salt, pepper, Italian seasonings, and a personal favorite: Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning (don't use a lot unless you want it a bit warm spice wise) I advise putting the Italian seasonings at the beginning if they are dried (fresh herbs and spices should be added to the crock-pot in the last 30-60 minutes), the rest I put in the last thirty minutes and individually to taste. IT WAS FANTASTIC!
I'll be trying something similar today. I love having a Crock-Pot!! I will be doing more experimenting, of course. But until I'm done killing off that infection in my intestines, it will all be Candida-Diet friendly, so if you aren't on the diet, add potatoes to your little hearts content, I know I can't WAIT until I can have potatoes again, that is the ONE thing I miss more than anything else on this diet.
