Sounds good!
Do you sear your meat before putting it in the crockpot or just chuck it in?
Like you, I’m trying to like the crockpot but I don’t use it for much other than a big batch of Sunday sauce.
What are you cooking or baking today?

Just chucked it in. If a beef stew or small piece of beef roast, I would sear it first.Do you sear your meat before putting it in the crockpot or just chuck it in?
I'm just fooling around with it now to see if I can get something I will like. Actually, I won't bother with beef stew in the crock....like it better in the oven.

Still have a ton of pasta from what hubby cook to make it starch-resistant. Just made a pan of baked spaghetti with Italian sausage, cheese & canned diced basil-garlic-oregano seasoned tomatoes.

That sounds good....and those canned diced basil-garlic-oregano seasoned tomatoes are da bomb!
I buy the S&W brand for my sister, and have tasted them....they're very good. They have a couple of diff flavors to choose from.

Just finished the last day of a yard sale with my neighbor. Whatever didn't sell of mine has been boxed & ready to go to the local church thrift shop next week. I'm dragging so it will be leftovers tonight & I'm ready to raid the fridge for whatever is edible.

Had some left over ricotta, jarred spaghetti sauce and mozz cheese...so I made a mock lasagne w/medium shells.
Turned out just like I wanted it to.

I looks like the Brussels sprout halves roast in the same amont of time as the chicken. A real winner!

Never heard of starch resistant. Will have to investigate.

Green tomato chutney with apples, raisins and ginger which tastes like apple pie filling.

Just made some keto blueberry muffins (with almond flour and allulose). Sprinkled chopped walnuts into the mix. Yummy. Great with tea.

Sounds delish.....now what will you do with it Patty?
Do you pair it with meat or rice?

I’m not sure. I had some on a rice cake the other day and it was delicious. A chutney is meant to be a side dressing added to a meal whether mixed with rice or mixed with a main dish. I’m certainly open to suggestions.

Look at these two links from Ohio State Univ.
Does cooling starchy food after cooking really lower its calories?
