Quick N' Easy Roast
Use any cut of meat you prefer for this, but keep in mind that the tougher the better in this sort of situation. When I say tougher, I mean a lean cut, as little fat as possible. I like to use Chuck.
So you have your meat, it can be frozen or thawed, entirely up to you, I drop it in still frozen. So just toss that bad boy right on into the crock pot. I then take 6 of the Extra Large Beef Bouillon Cubes and crumble them up over the top of the roast, and along the sides. I add a little bit of salt and pepper as well to the top of the meat, and some garlic powder and onion powder. Keep in mind, there is no exact measurement on how much of each spice to add, everyone's taste is different, and I just don't operate that way when I cook. Moving along, you have all the seasonings in there, so let's add in some vegetables, chop up some potatoes of your choice, I like the smaller types, they cut up easier. Add in some carrots, some onions, really any vegetables you enjoy. Stay away from broccoli though, it turns into a very ugly, tasteless mush when slow cooked. Final step, pour in one bottle of water. I usually just grab a bottle of water like Aquafina, or whatever I happen to have available, and pour that in over the meat, and into the sides of the crockpot. This is all the water you will need. Set your crockpot to cook on high for about 6-7 hours depending upon how slow your crockpot cooks, then enjoy. You can use the water with the fat trimmings to make your own home made gravy as well if you want.

Fresh Garlic Crab
I'm off to the coast this weekend for fresh crabs. I'll be making garlic crab served on top of home made pasta.
1-2 crabs. Boil first, clean, divide into sections. In a large skillet, bring olive oil and two tablespoones of unsalted butter to the temp to saute garlic for a few minutes. Place crab(s) into the skillet, sauce for a few minutes. Add pasta and serve in a large plater. Great way to thank everyone that helps me out on the "Back 40" ranch. I saw this on a cooking show Yummy! |

I had a thought about smokers. When I smoke meat I put beer or water in the smoker to keep the meat moist. I wonder if anyone has tried putting herbs in the water and if so did it flavor the meat?

We do not like the mesquite.....doesn't taste well on the meats for some reason. The applewood chips & cherry are the best. As far as adding fresh herbs to the water, give it a whirl. You can add apple juice to that pan OR soak chips in juice OR water. I have used apple juice in with some water.....worked just fine....I didn't taste any "apple" flavor so much as the woodchips smoke negates that with its own flavorings! Good luck Chad!!!

I use this recipe I found online: Brine (per one lb of peppers): 3 cups white vinegar (5% acidity) 2 cups water 2 tablespoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon sugar 1 garlic clove per jar, minced Heat the brine until the salt and sugar have completely dissolved. Let cool to room temp, fill jars. Let them pickle in the fridge for at least 24 hours - longer if you can.

Ham Casserole
(Recipe is easily doubleable - is that a word?) 6 potatoes, chopped 1/3 C chopped onion 2T butter 2 C ham, cubed 1 1/2 C broccoli (which I skip, yuck lmao) 4oz Neufchatel cheese 1 1/2 C cheddar 4 slices bacon Cook your potatoes until done. Cook ham at the same time, as well as the broccoli. Cook the onions in the butter until translucent. Combine potatoes, ham, broccoli, and onions and butter in a baking pan. Cut chunks of Neufchatel cheese throughout the pan, and spread around. Cover with cheddar. Bake at 350° for 25-35 minutes. Cook bacon during this time until crispy. Crumble on the top of the casserole when done. Super good!

I also have a super easy shredded chicken recipe everyone seems to love.
It's simply chicken breast, your favorite bbq sauce - everyone seems to have one, so I won't bore you with mine, and a cup or two of root beer - depending on how much chicken you're cooking. Cook on the stove at low or medium low (275° to 300°) until chicken is super tender and falls apart - usually 4-5 hours. Shred. Keep warm until supper. I personally don't use my crock pot much, but if you'd rather you can cook this on low for five hours, then shred the chicken and keep warm.

I have found that my crock pot does almost everything but wash the dishes. Makes the best baked taters, best stuffed cabbage rolls, lasagne, apple butter etc... Love my crock pot.
Throw in some ribs, dump in a big bottle of bbq sauce, put on slow, ready in time for dinner. Throw in a beef roast, one shot of JB, slow cook all day. Throw in a frozen chicken, cook slow all day, toss in a can of mushroom soup, a cup of ranch dressing. throw together a salad, you got dinner. Want to know how to make stuffed cabbage rolls the easy way? let me know. |

Are there any vegetarian/vegan recipes other than soups (i have looked through the whole thread) anyone could share?

How do you define courage? Is it the absence of fear? You might think, under the weight of your fears, "I am not courageous." But maybe you have the wrong perspective. Courage can be measured in many ways, and is not the absence or denial of fear, but the willingness to act vulnerably. When you're faced with the unknown and then you stand on the edge of risk, courage brings you to the point where you are able to take flight, though you might be unsure of your wings. |
