Sometimes we use the Zataran's mix purely for the spices. Sometimes I add salsa and onions. Or, you could do sausage with green peppers and onions... yum! I think one of my crock pot cookbooks has recipes for different kinds of breads that can be cooked inside so you may be able to find those types of recipes on the internet. Let's see... pasta salad would be easy. Or how about a yummy homemade chicken salad with grapes, walnuts and chopped Granny Smith apples. Fettucine Alfredo with or without chicken Fried potatoes and onions... a Sunday morning favorite. Hummus with pita triangles and chopped veggies. Red beans and rice with or without sausage.

After thinking about these, I reaized how little I use my oven as well! We actually cooked on a double hot plate for 8 months when we first moved in our shell of a house. There was no 220 power, therefore no dryer or oven! And, oh! What about cooking your bread in an iron skillet on the stove top. I know that the boy scouts in troop 442 have bread/rolls cooked over the fire in an iron skillet with a lid. You just have to keep the heat really low. And of course there are always lentil and cheese tortillas, with fresh guacamole and tomatoes: yum! Just had them yesterday!:) Good luck! Chili, soups of any kind, pan-fried beef or fish.

I think if you put the lid on at the end of cooking it will let the top finish cooking (normally you finish it off in the ... oven). You can put different veggies in there, saute them, pour beaten eggs (and milk?) over the veggies and let it sit. I usually re-look up Frittata recipes on my favorite recipe website and then go from there (just to remember basics). That's about all I can think to the many suggestions (and it's really just a twist on an omelette). Frittatas?

You guys are fast!! I do indeed have a crock pot but we rarely eat with it. I use it to keep things warm at potlucks! I have few ideas that use whole foods that use one that a stove top can't do as well. If you've got 'em, send 'em on! Susan, your Tally's mexican is similar to my Texas Joes but that they have also have beans in them. Yum! I'd forgotten about them. Beth, donuts are going on the menu!! The kids will LOVE them. I even have a good buttermilk recipe! :-) Cool! You guys are fast!! I do indeed have a crock pot but we rarely eat with it. I use it to keep things warm at potlucks!
