So many thing on this video made me giggle! I am the same way about chicken. I want the breast meat but the kid and husband love the legs! I have never used frozen meat but I am definitely going to try (just bought ton of chicken at grocery – packages of split breast and legs were on sale for $.98/pound) experimenting with your experiment. Someone else commented that they have turbo crock and I swear mine is like that but I should have no excuse I am home most days by 3.

I do the same thing with the plates and the meal. My meals almost always have a meat, a starch and a veg! The only time I buy anything frozen is if they are on sale so whatever package it comes in! ;-) It is just easier to plate in the kitchen – there are only 3 of us too!

Thanks for the video! I loved it!

I only have one recipe that I put pasta in the crockpot and it’s a spaghetti one where you put the spaghetti in dry. Otherwise the pasta does turn to mush.

Porkchops with some type of tomato based sauce will also be very tender and almost fall apart when cooked in the crockpot.

Love your bbq sauce idea and I can’t wait to try the cous cous like that. Totally YUM!

Question for you. Why did the hubs complain about the couscous if it had the same flavor as the chicken? It’s just pasta right?

Here’s a link to Alton Brown’s brown rice.

It can save you time and money too if you fix it while something else is in the oven on the weekend, then keep it in the fridge or freezer to have on hand. Just as quick as the as the Minute Rice with a little forethought, AND you could do an experimental vid on it too!
