I am going to try to use my Crock Pots a lot more because my gardener (yeah
him) is keeping very erratic hours lately and this will just be easier.

In the past, my most successful things to make were soups, stews and of
course baked beans.

He prefers to eat brown rice as opposed to potatoes. He does get potatoes on
occasion but in small amounts. He isn't diabetic but has blood sugar issues
and the brown rice works the best for him of the starches. I also sometimes
do quinoa and wild rice. He also likes beans and most veggies (not
asparagus) and isn't really a picky eater. Preferred flavor profiles would
be Asian or Mexican with Italian probably in third place. He does eat meat
but small amounts.

I can do pasta but it needs to be made of something other than wheat. I
usually do brown rice pasta (although he prefers the actual rice to the
pasta) and I think that might just go to mush in a Crock-Pot. A corn/quinoa
pasta might work though.

He has a big appetite and wouldn't be the only one eating these meals. I
intend to go through my cookbook later. I have that one that is something
like "Not Your Mother's" or something like that. It uses mostly whole foods
and no cream soups.

I have used white rice in a Crock-Pot before. I think the recipe was called
Sukiyaki or something. For sure not authentic as it had ground beef in it
but it was good. I don't think I have used brown rice in a the Crock-Pot. I
suppose if need be that could be cooked separately and added. Or perhaps
used in smaller amounts in something like a soup or stew that would have a
high liquid content.

Anyhoo... Does anyone here ever make Crock-Pot stuff like this? If not, what
are some of your favorite Crock-Pot meals?
