All I know is I'm one poor college student with next to no time on his hands. My mother gave me a slow cooker, but because she works in Russia it is hard to get a hold of her. I figure that I will use this slow cooker for a lot so I can start it, get to classes and then do homework all while the food is cooking. I currently have two thawed chicken breasts, asparagus, broccoli, and a lot of red potatoes. Does anyone know of anything I can do with these?!? I can pick up a few cheap things at a store if needed but my budget is very small! Any help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated. Like I said, cooking makes about as much sense to me as nuclear physics (I'm a Secondary Education Major) so ANY help is loved. Thank You!

We've had several kids go away to college and I can't remember one of them going with a slow cooker. I'm sure some one will come up with some ideas.

I just figured the slow cooker would allow me to set it before I go into my class and be able to come home, eat, and tackle my hours and hours of school work! College is tough :( __________________

I would suggest you get a slow cooker cook book and start trying the recipes. Don't forget the liners to make clean-up easier. Most slow cooker recipes are simple, and you end up with a great result. Your friends and roommates will all want you cooking for them soon.

Put everything (cut up the veggies and potatoes) in the CP(crockpot), sprinkle with S&P (salt and pepper), and pour over a can of cream of something soup, like mushroom, celery, chicken. Cook on low for 6 hours or so, don't let it dry out. Check out the slow cooker thread! __________________ She who dies with the most toys, wins.
