APRICOT NUT BREAD
=================
(makes 4 to 6 servings)

Ingredients:
------------
3/4 cup  dried apricots
1 cup    flour
2 tsp    baking powder
1/4 tsp  baking soda
1/2 tsp  salt
1/2 cup  sugar
3/4 cup  milk
1        egg, slightly beaten
1 Tbsp   grated orange peel
1 Tbsp   vegetable oil
1/2 cup  whole wheat flour
1 cup    coarsely chopped walnuts

Instructions:
-------------
Place the apricots on a chopping block.  Sprinkle 1 T flour over them.
Dip a knife into the flour and chop the apricots finely.  Flour the
knife often to keep the cut up fruit from sticking together.  Sift the
remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar into a large
bowl.  Combine the milk, egg, orange peel, and oil.  Stir the flour
mixture and the whole wheat flour.  Fold in the cut up apricots, any
flour left on the cutting block and the walnuts.  Pour into a well
greased, floured bakin unit.  Cover and place on a rack in the slow
cooker, but prop the lid open a fraction with a toothpick or a twist of
foil to let excess steam escape.  Cook on High for 4 to 6 hours.  Cool
on a rack for 10 minutes.  Serve warm or cold.

Now before you all ask what a baking unit is (I wondered as I sat and
typed this in), I looked it up in the front of the bread section.
She says that some manufacturers are making units for slow cookers,
but if you don't have one, a 2 pound coffee can works.  Pyrex muffin cups
also work.  Also 1, 1 1/2 and 2 quart molds work.

Do not lift the lid while baking this bread.

BEEF ROAST(S)
=============

Ingredients:
------------
Beef Roast(s)
onion
spices
optional: potatoes, carrots, sweedes, turnips

Instructions:
-------------
Brown the roast(s) on all sides in a little bit of oil.  Place in the
crock pot.  Add an onion, cut in about 6-8 pieces.  Add spices (we don't
use salt - we add Mrs.  Dash Garlic and Herb, plus some additional
garlic and pepper).  Cover with water.

Sometimes I add a dash of beef boullion granules.  Set on high.  I let
this simmer away for about 5 - 6 hours.  We usually add potatoes
(quartered) the last 60-80 minutes.  Other root veggies work great too.

Now, for the DOUBLE DUTY:
-------------------------
For the leftovers, I slice the roast somewhat thin, and breakup up the
slices (sort of shred it), put it in a sauce pan and add barbecue sauce
and a little water.  I let this simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring
occasionally.  If it gets too dry add more sauce or water.  Serve on
rolls.  This is great to take for lunch and heat in the microwave at
work.

Note:
-----
Be sure to select a roast or two that will fit it the crock pot!  (My
first one didn't!)

CROCKPOT LACQUERED CHICKEN
==========================
(makes 4 to 6 servings)

Ingredients:
------------
1 Tbsp   vegetable oil
2 lb     whole chicken
3        very large onions, peeled and chopped
5        large tomatoes, chopped
1        medium orange, unpeeled, seeded, chopped
1 tsp    sugar
1 tsp    salt
1/8 tsp  pepper
1/2 cup  water
1        bouillon cube, crumbled
3 heaping Tbsp red currant, raspberry or red grape jelly
1/4 cup  sweet sherry

Instructions:
-------------
In a medium skillet, over medium high heat, heat the oil and saute the
chicken, turning often, until well browned all over.  Remove the chicken
to a plate.  Saute the onion in the skillet until well browned.  Turn
into the crockpot.  Place the tomatoes, orange, sugar, salt and pepper
in the pot and set the chicken on top.  Rinse the skillet with the water

sherry and cook, stirring until the sauce boils.  Do not overcook, lest
the sauce lose its shiny quality.  If you wish, add some sugar or sweet
sherry to further brighten the taste.  If sauce is not shiny enough,
bring back to a very brisk boil and quickly stir in some jelly.  Pour
sauce over the chicken.

Most soups and stews can be prepared in a crock pot.  Just decrease
the liquid ingredients (not as much liquid will evaporate from a
closed slow-cooker) and let it rip for 6 or more hours.

HEARTY BEAN AND VEGETABLE STEW (Vegan)
======================================
(Servings:  12)

Ingredients:
------------
1 lb     beans, assorted, dry
2 cup    vegetable juice
1/2 cup  dry white wine
1/3 cup  soy sauce
1/3 cup  apple or pineapple juice
vegetable stock or water
1/2 cup  celery -- diced
1/2 cup  parsnips -- diced
1/2 cup  carrots -- diced
1/2 cup  mushrooms -- diced
1        onion -- diced
1 tsp    basil, dried
1 tsp    parsley, dried
1        bay leaf
3 clove  garlic -- minced
1 tsp    black pepper -- ground
1 cup    rice or pasta -- cooked

Instructions:
-------------
Sort and rinse beans, then soak overnight in water.

Drain beans and place in crockpot.  Add vegetable juice, wine, soy
sauce, and apple or pineapple juice.  Cover with vegetable stock or
water; the amount added depends on whether you prefer a soup (more
liquid) or a stew (less).  The juice adds just a tad of sweetness and
the soy sauce adds depth and the tang of salt.

Cook at high for 2 hours.  Add vegetables, herbs, and spices, and cook
for 5-6 hours at low until carrots and parsnips are tender.  When
tender, add rice or pasta and cook for one additional hour.

Notes:
------
For beans use 3 or 4 kinds, such as: black, red kidney, pinto, baby
lima, lentil, and green and/or yellow split peas.

ROB'S VEGGIE CHILI (Vegan)
==================

Ingredients:
------------
olive oil
1-2       large yellow onions, diced
2 cloves  garlic, minced
1         red pepper, diced fairly large
1         green pepper, diced fairly large
2         28-oz. cans crushed tomatoes
1 T       cumin
1 tsp     cayenne (or to your taste)
1 pkg     frozen corn
2 cans    black beans (or any other kind of beans you like -
          chickpeas work well, too)
1-1.5 C   picante sauce (Shotgun Willie's green sauce -very hot- works well)
salt to taste
grated cheddar, if desired
cashew nuts, if desired

Instructions:
-------------
Saute onions in the olive oil.  (I used cooking wine instead to cut out
the fat).  Add garlic a bit later.  After onion and garlic are have
turned golden brown, add cumin, cayenne, and whatever other spices you
might like.  Fry for a couple of minutes.

Next, add the peppers, saute them for a few minutes.  Put the crushed
tomatoes, corn, beans and picante sauce into the crock pot, and add the
onion mixture.  Cook on low about 10 hours.

Serve with grated cheddar and cashew nuts, if desired.

Note:
-----
I didn't have room in my crockpot for 2 cans of crushed tomatoes, and I
had to cut back a little on the corn too, so you will have to vary the
sizes above depending on the size of your crockpot.

TANGY RED BULGAR
================

Ingredients:
------------
1 tblsp    olive or vegetable oil
1 cup      chopped red or green bell pepper, or combination
1 cup      chopped zucchini or yellow squash, or both
2 1/4 cup  Bloody Mary mix or vegetable juice
1 cup      bulgur wheat
1 tblsp    lemon juice
1 tsp      dired basil, crushed, or 1 tablespoon fresh, minced
1/3 cup    chopped green onions

Instructions:
-------------
Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat.  Cook pepper(s) and
squash(es) until tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in Bloody Mary mix or vegetable juice, bulgur, lemon juice, and
basil.  Heat to boiling.  Reduce heat to low.  Cover and simmer 5 to 8
minutes or until liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.

Garnish with green onions.  May be served warm or as a salad at room
temperature.

To Microwave:
-------------
In a 2-quart microwave-safe casserole dish, combine oil, red pepper and
zucchini.  Cover with lid; microwave on high 4 minutes or until
vegetables are tender-crisp, stirring twice during cooking.

Add vegetable juice, bulgur, lemon juice, and basil.  Cover and
microwave 10 minutes or until liquid is absorbed, stirring twice during
cooking.  Let stand, covered, 5 minutes.  Garnish with green onions.

Crockpot:
---------
I have made this in a crockpot, tossing all the ingredients except the
basil and green onions in and cooking on low for 8 hours, adding the
basil after 7.5 hours, and garnishing with green onions just before
serving.  The resulting dish is indistinguishable from one made using
the stove top method.  I refuse to try the microwave method.  I
generally use only two cups of Bloody Mary mix since the brand I buy
comes in quart bottles.
