Super Easy Skinny Veggie Crockpot Lasagna

Super Easy Skinny Veggie Crockpot Lasagna
Yesterday I saw the movie Frozen. This is going to really date this post for future readers, but worth it. Because I have to talk about how cute it was. If you’re not familiar, Frozen is a Disney movie, um excuse me, musical. A Disney musical. All about an icy land where everything is a little bit magical and a lot bit frozen and where people have names like Hans and Kristoff and Olaf. I told Bjork that he reminded me of the main character Kristoff and he just rolled his eyes. He’s just a reeeal niiice Scandinavian boy, oh ya you betcha. AND THIS: the movie theater now has recliners. Aaaanyways. While we were at this movie, I left a little lasagna cookin’ in the crockpot. Spoiler alert: the lasagna wasn’t super pretty. I chose kale for my veg because a) I kind of like cooked kale, and b) it’s healthy, and c) it was the only vegetable I had in the fridge. Yessss. And I felt like I was repaying myself for all that Christmas sugar. Layers of veggies, sauce, cheese, and thick wavy noodles. PS. Related:  Slow Cooker

Slow Cooker Corn on the Cob Cooking corn on the cob just got a whole lot easier and healthier. This easy crock pot method means no more pots of boiling water that heat the kitchen and boil away nutrients in the corn. Slowly steaming the corn in its own juices with some simple, healthy seasonings results in moist, tender, amazingly delicious corn with NO BUTTER. If you are a purist and believe that corn on the cob must be slathered in butter, this same slow cooker technique can be used with butter. So go ahead and use it, if you like. However, if you'd like a healthier, lower calorie alternative that is still really tasty, I recommend that you give these no-butter seasonings a try. Foil or no foil. In the husk, not so good.

Deep South Dish: Slow Cooker Pork and Beans One of the most favorite things that I really enjoy out of this blogging experience, is when I ask everybody "What's Cookin' Good Lookin'?'" over on the Facebook page. Readers share what's cooking in their kitchens, or what's planned, or sometimes just what they are craving, and very often, they share a recipe in those comments. It was in one of those posts, that Natalie, one of our Facebook family members, mentioned making this bean dish, and I immediately put it on my list to try. Natalie told us that this recipe came about during their evacuation from Hurricane Rita, and so I thought of a few clever names - Pork and Beans Rita, or Evacuation Beans and Pork, or even Hurricane Pork and Beans. Natalie uses two packets of onion soup mix for her recipe, but feel free to substitute the homemade version included in the notes if you prefer. Oh yeah - I did get a little bit of a chuckle outta this too. Well... this recipe was perfect for that! Look how nice the beans cooked up!

Cooking with Beer: Slow Cooker Rauchbier Pulled Chicken | Serious Eats : Re Serious Eats: Recipes Posted by Maggie Hoffman, February 3, 2010 [Photograph: Maggie Hoffman] I have a few rules for entertaining. This faux-barbecue pulled chicken is far from authentic, but it's delicious. This faux-barbecue pulled chicken is far from authentic, but it's delicious, easy to make, and perfect for advance prep. We served it with cheesy scallion biscuits, but it would be awesome as a sandwich filling, on top of grits, or along with a big scoop of macaroni and cheese. We used a smoky and spicy Märzen Rauchbier along with a can of chipotles in adobo to enhance the rich and smoky flavor of the sauce. Although we shredded the chipotles along with the chicken before serving, this isn't a particularly spicy dish, so you'll probably want to serve it with hot sauce on the side. In a large bowl, stir together tomato sauce, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, and cumin.
