I don’t know why but chicken is one of the hardest things for me to cook. It always comes out tough or undercooked. The other day I was in the mood for some BBQ and didn’t feel like using the grill so I came up with this low carb bbq chicken that I made in the slow cooker. I had good luck with the slow cooker for my smokey bbq pork in the slow cooker and thought why not try it with chicken?

If you follow my blog you know that my hubby and I really love peppers. He had a stellar year in garden growing jalapeños, serranos, poblanos, Anaheim chiles and banana peppers. So while we don’t have the fresh from the garden peppers laying around, I was in the mood for something different than the bell peppers we normally eat in winter. So I got out my Instant Pot and made this low carb pork & pepper stew. It’s spicy and hearty and perfect for a cold winter day. It makes a huge pot full that you can eat as is with a little cilantro and sour cream if you wish to keep it low carb. Or you can eat it over rice. Either way you are going to love it!

Slow Cooker Herb Garlic Lamb Roast

December 25, 2017 by Denise Leave a Comment

This is the time of year to make a nice slow cooker herb garlic lamb roast. Easy to make and the perfect way to celebrate the holidays with loved ones.

I must confess I’m not a huge lover of lamb. I love lamb that is cooked on a spit but not chewy lamb chops. That is why I make lamb roasts in a slow cooker. It reminds me of how my grandma used to make roasts. She would stud them with garlic and herbs and cook them all day until they are tender. So that is what this slow cooker herb garlic lamb roast is all about. It’s studded with garlic and rubbed with herbs and cook all day until tender and delicious.

This slow cooker smokey barbecue pork will make you feel like you are at a summer barbecue in winter! A low carb barbecue pork that is spicy and crusty and also tastes delicious on a sandwich or salad the next day.

My husband has become an awesome smoker. I’ve had his smoked turkey, brisket and salmon on the blog here and we eat these dishes regularly. The only problem is that you really have to be home all day to make these things. The other day I was in the mood for smokey barbecue and decided to try it in the slow cooker. I put a rub on a pork shoulder along with some liquid smoke and set it in the slow cooker to cook all day. It was so good. The salty, spicy pork was just like what we eat in the summer and I was able to do it in the slow cooker!

This versatile dish of Low Carb Cheese Steak Pot Roast is an easy dinner you can make in the Instant Pot or slow cooker. For a low carb dinner, eat as is with melted cheese. However you can also eat it over noodles or rice and then make soup or sandwiches from the leftovers!

Everyone in my family (even my father in law) likes this dish. What I like about it is that you can eat it over egg noodles, over rice or in a crock with a nice piece of melted provolone. I ate it with the provolone for a low carb version. Then the next day your family can have soup or sandwiches out of the leftovers!
