{Crockpot Recipe Review}

I have been trying to make things with cooking a little bit easier than i had been doing previously. I was cooking things that took a lot of time to prepare and cook. I would start getting things together as soon as i got home from work and it would easily be 6:30 before we ate. I do not have that much time every day to dedicate just to cooking. If i continued this way, i would never get to workout!! So, i decided to find some HEALTHY crockpot meals to try to help facilitate things in the afternoon. Last week we tried 3 different ones. They were all good and i will definitely try them again. I have listed the meals that i cooked along with the link to the recipe in case you want to try them.
Sour Cream & Onion Chicken...  http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=205590
This was very flavorful! We ate it with green beans but next time i will make healthy mashed potatoes or brown (or wild) rice. The sauce that it makes is too good not to drizzle over something.

Black Bean Chicken...  http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=16385
This recipe was good fixed as the recipe states, but i think next time i will add corn and a few spices and see how that tastes.

Easy Taco Soup (with chicken)...  http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=486329
I do not like kidney beans so i used 2 cans of Great Northern Beans and omitted the 1 can of Kidney Beans. This was delicious!!

I LOVE getting recipes from Sparkrecipes.com because they are healthy and most of the ones that i have tried are really good! Today, we are trying Chicken Bacon Ranch in the crockpot and i cannot wait to try it!! Here is the recipe for it as well...
