Re: Not too fattening Crock Pot recipes
one of my favorites is pot roast with veggies. i just put in a 3-4 pound pot roast, chunk up a few potatoes, an onion, and dump in a bag of baby carrots. then, i add some chopped garlic, and some other spices (whatever i feel like that day, basil, thyme, parsley, crushed red pepper) ... i do one cup of water, and one cup of low sodium beef broth. cook it on low for 8 hours, and there ya go  the whole meal in one pot
AND its just DH and i, so we get 2 meals out of it- so i pack away the lftovers and a few days later i just put them in a dish in the oven for about 10, 15 minutes... it tastes jsut as good as the first night
ETA: another one i do is crock pot chicken caccitore. a couple boneless chicken breasts, a bell pepper, a cubanelle ( slightly spicy) pepper, an onion, a can of crushed tomatoes, some balsalmic and a little bit of crushed red pepper flakes. the chicken kinda shreds up when its done to make more of a stew- so i usually serve it over rice or pasta.
