[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 303829, member: 1233"] Janet, the crockpot meals I see in the stores have so much MSG and other chemicals that they make many people ill. I cannot even smell a few of them with-o getting a migraine. They have some really nasty unneeded additives. Many of the recipes for crockpot meals require browning and sauteing and the whole recipe is a big deal. NOT something you toss in in 5 mins. I am planning meals with all the veggies chopped and blanched, meat seasoned, spices added, etc... that you take out of the ziploc and put in the crockpot. Add 1 cupof water to help things along and voila! There is a good, HEALTHY meal that you do NOT spend a small fortune on and do NOT have to experience all the chemicals with. It would let the empty nesters who are used to preparing meals for a family still do the prep she is used to but only have to cook enough for 2 and then on 1-4 days in the next few weeks all she would have to do is to get the bag out of the freezer, dump it in with water and go. Maybe add a can of soup, but nothing more. It will take time to work out but I think the benefits outweigh the risks. [/QUOTE]
