Special call out to Lawrence LeVine who introduced me to www.GetCrocked.com! Since I’ve been on a crock pot binge, I scanned every single (yes really, EVERY) recipe that was posted on that website. I found this one which was insanely easy, Gabby friendly and low fat.

Good news, the adults that ate it LOVED it! Bad news, the kids wanted nothing to do with it. I refuse to accept that they couldn’t enjoy this sweet meal so I will be making every effort to get them to eat it again. Anyway, you should most definitely try this, as well as check out www.GetCrocked.com
