Is this the place where everyone shares recipes and talks about food? I haven't seen any yet and was just wondering.
There are slow cooker and Instant Pot books that I’ve found helpful, especially one by The NY Times food writer Melissa Clark. Whether you use either a fast or slow cooker, cheap & tough cuts of meat come out really nicely.Long time no replies. Any recent recipes? I've been gifted a slow cooker and have no idea what to cook there. Any recipes recommendations?
I have given up my slow cooker for the Instant Pot but I loved my Art of the Slow Cooker by Andrew Schloss. Take away message: yes you can throw everything in, turn it on and walk away and have dinner in 6-8 hrs, but the best flavours happen when you first carmelize the vegetables and meat. We basically lived on that book every winter for years' worth of dinners.Long time no replies. Any recent recipes? I've been gifted a slow cooker and have no idea what to cook there.

What sorts of things do you like? I've been doing most of my cooking from Serious Eats lately, with a few America's Test Kitchen bits worked in.Yes I need some good recipes for chicken. I tired of eating it raw. Seriously. should be good!
I'm sorry, it's possible to obtain beef broth with sugar in it?!?! What????... the main "must have" ingredient to end up with great chili is beef broth, and it should have no sugar in it.
Huh. That sounds really interesting. Especially if you dash a bit of spicey in there too, so it's like spicey peanut sauce. Mmm.This is my most recent recipe. Its good hot or cold.
One 240gm tin of chick peas or beans. Put them into a bowl or pan or leave them in the tin. Add two table spoons of smooth peanut paste and mix it up until smooth. Heat if you want it hot. There is enough salt in it already so you may not need any more salt. Add some spices and herbs if you want them.
Very simple and a great lunch if you are on the road.
I think you could use almond paste if you have a peanut allergy.
Thank you, actually we have started to go on a diabetic diet because of my wife. So, rice and all is out. I do have an air fryer that works pretty go for a change in cooking. I cut the up and cooked them in butter and at the end stirred in the balsamic glaze. Anything with no carbs or sugur would be great. pork seems to be cheap right now so pork recipies are also appreciated. Just to a pork butt and pot it in the instapot with so cabbage and chicked broth. was good.What sorts of things do you like?

I've been working my way through Kenji Lopez-Alt's The Wok: Recipes and Techniques to build a repertoire of tasty ways prepare chicken and veggies. His Halal Cart Style Chicken and Rice is another favourite. During summer I tossed a couple of his Spatchocked Chickens on a smokey grill. With cold weather I'll probably move that one inside.
My I-don't-want-to-think-about-it option is to toss a couple of pre-packaged and frozen pieces in the sous vide, rice in the rice cooker, steam some veggies, and then hit everything with a bottled sauce or mustard or such.
I rarely pull out the Slow Cooker or Instant Pot except for soup (my wife uses them more).
A more appropriate Instant Pot recipe for the now-departed-Helga is Instant Pot Spam Fried Rice
Pork butt in Instant Pot is delicious as shredded pork. No sugar, though, so that makes using pre-made sauces pretty much completely out of the picture. I make a lot of soups & stews in the winter, all in the Instant Pot. My daughter teases me that I don't know how to cook without an Instant Pot (she's not far wrong...). Are beans not ok on a diabetic diet? Because a smoked ham hock with beans, veggies, herbs and water makes a magnificent soup/stew. You might have trouble finding a ham hock cured without sugar, I don't know, it depends where you're from and where you can obtain your ham hock from (we do our own curing & smoking, so we can control that kind of thing for ourselves). If you do a roast chicken, take the meat off the bones, bung the bones into the IP with water & pressure cook for 4 hrs to make a stock base, then use that with leftover chicken and whatever veggies/pulses/herbs you want and throw that on for soup the next day.Thank you, actually we have started to go on a diabetic diet because of my wife.

Sounds good, I think beans are ok. Made sone northern beans diced ham, onions in chicken broth. turned out good, Blood sugar went up sbut she had some other stuff as well. thank you.Pork butt in Instant Pot is delicious as shredded pork.

I just read that beans are a mixed bag for diabetics; some react more strongly than others to the carbohydrates therein - not necessarily an immediate spike like with simple carbs, but a delayed one as the body works through breaking down more complex carbs. So, probably something to keep in mind with the calculations of carbs for a given meal, but not necessarily to completely avoid, I guess?Sounds good, I think beans are ok.

Looks like hummus with peanut butter substituted for tahini (sesame paste - which tastes curiously like peanut butter). I just made hummus the other day to eat with the falafel I made. Next time I'll try peanut butter, because it's kind of a pain to make the tahini from raw sesame seeds.This is my most recent recipe. Its good hot or cold.
