Join the discussionHi Deb! Yes, you are able to cancel anytime- you can find out more details here on membership- https://onceamonthmeals.com/mem…. The average cook time on most slow cooker meals is 7-8 hours on low. If you need to be gone longer, you can use a crockpot that sets it to warm after it’s done cooking like this one- http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ….
Hello,I would like to know how can I prepare a month cooking if a lot of ingredients are not in special in the market?
I guess that the first month is the most difficult one to begin with because of that ?
Our menus are designed to take advantage of the monthly sales and in season produce. If you are cooking from a current month menu, or same month from previous years you shouldn’t have any issues.
You can get one of those plug in timers for lamps and have it set to start your crock pot 7 hours before you get home.
But do know that the lamp timers only work on the crock pots that have the turn dial that have either low or high–not the ones with the option to warm after cooking.
Every time I cook chicken in the crockpot it is dry and falling apart. I always cook it for the min time requirement and the food is frozen when I put it in the crockpot. Should I cook it for even less?
Mindi – My suggestion for dealing with slow cooker chicken that seems to dry, would be to add more moisture to the chicken you are cooking and lower the heat.
My suggestion is to cook it even longer. Add on another 2 hours and make sure you have enough liquid. My experience with chicken in the crock pot is to leave it in until it is falling apart.
I cooked four boneless chicken breasts with a jar of salsa plus sliced onions and peppers with the crockpot on low about seven hours. Was able to shred the chicken. Chicken was not dry at all because of the jar of salsa.
Mary- that sounds like a delicious, quick and easy meal! Thanks for sharing!
What kind of crock pot do you have? I’m wanting a good quality one that is a larger size. Thanks!
Cari – I own 2 of these slow cookers and LOVE them! http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ…
I need to eat gluten free. Can these meals be modified easily ?
Nancy Klinger
Nancy – We have a huge variety of gluten free recipes that can be found here https://onceamonthmeals.com/oam…
SOOOO convenient. Thanks for listing all of these recipes in one place.
When I freeze meat or casseroles and then cook, I feel the taste and texture change. I can do crockpot meals pretty easily without freezing but wondered if I am doing something wrong.
Rebecca,The first thing that comes to mind is making sure you get all of the air out of the freezer bags…is it maybe freezer burnt?
Do you have recipes for diabetics. Are they categorized as Diabetic or do you list the carbs & sugar per helping? Husband has Type II Diabetes so I would like to use as many Diabetic Friendly recipes as I can but taste is also very important.
Thanks
Karen, Pro members can look up recipes in menu builder using the following tabs: diabetic, low carb, and low carb. You can also search by weight watcher’s points if that helps. We also currently have one diabetic mini menu (https://onceamonthmeals.com/diabetic-mini-april-2014-menu/) and more to come in the new year. We will rotate that category through our new Allergy menu, even though it is not technically an allergy. Hope that helps!
Hello I would love to get into slow cooker cooking so I can batch cook on a Sunday for my weeks lunch in work. After cooking in the slow cooker then freezing, is it ok to microwave the meal after thawing out?
Absolutely. Just make sure it’s thawed properly in the fridge. Enjoy!
How long can I keep a dish in the freezer?
Nathan, typically 3-6 months is the optimum timeframe for keeping something in the freezer.
Any keto options in the works?
