Putting those skinless chicken breasts into the crock pot for several hours with some cut up carrots, celery, potatoes, and onions is way more nutritious than just baking the chicken plain. Also, if you cut everything up real small and add some water....voila!- chicken soup! Or use rice instead of potatoes. Try it all with various vegetables for something different.

Try loading your crockpot with big pieces of apples and pears, and a touch of cinnamon... enjoy a big bowl of stewed fruit after dinner.
