Kathy's Delicious Whole Slow Cooker Chicken

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2009

This is my go to recipe for freezing shredded chicken. It literally falls apart once it is cooked and I divide it into batches for enchiladas, soups, or anything one needs shredded chicken for. Delicious!

Breakfast Sausage Roll

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2009

I cannot find the white bread dough in my country(Italy) so I use a standard refrigerated round of puff pastry instead. This is very good as written but my favorite is the option mentioned up top with the pizza sauce (I sparingly use VERY thickened tomato sauce with salt and garlic, otherwise the liquid pools at the bottom and the bread becomes soupy and doesn't cook properly). This recipe usually feeds us twice and so I freeze one half the mixture for a later date. It is excellent!

Sean's Falafel and Cucumber Sauce

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2009

This is one of my favorite recipes. I usually cook the chickpeas first in the slow cooker in bulk, freezing leftovers later for hummous. Sometimes fried foods that call for assembly can fall apart in your hand even before they make it to the pan, but not this one. These falafel stick together well, making frying a snap. We never have leftover cucumber sauce and I even add a bit more cucumber to make it last a little extra with this. We pile it into pitas with chopped tomatoes, a little onion, sliced pickles, the cucumber sauce and a little hot sauce.

Sauerkraut-Stuffed Slow-Cooked Pork Roast

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2009

After reading the rave reviews on this simple dish, I was wary but thought I would give it a try. I was very unimpressed. I assumed the strong flavor of the sauerkraut would flavor the pork while still remaining flavorful itself just less pungent. My pork turned out to be somewhat bland, and the sauerkraut seemed to be drained of any flavor it may have started out with. I like these two ingredients, but together alone for hours in my slow cooker they seemed to have lost all their appeal. I left it as 3 stars only because the idea of such a simple meal is so tantalizing...it just didn't work for me.
