add all ingredients except bacon and parsley to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours. Just before serving add the parsley to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Brown bacon and crumble on top of the dish. Serve with slices of french bread in the dish to soak up the liquid.

My version of a classic French Province meal, easy and healthy as well. Low salt and low in fat.
And the best part is it is in a slow cooker. This of course can be made on a pot, on stove top or dutch oven in range.

2 weeks ago at a dinner party I made the following, compiled from about 4 or 5 different seafood recipes. Due to popular demand I’ve written down more or less what I did (I took notes for once!) and am sharing the recipe here. This is very tasty, rich feeling yet light, and actually pretty darned easy to make. The only annoying part is the white sauce, because white sauce is always annoying. It really means it when recipes say stir constantly (or rather, you darned well better be stirring in the last 30 seconds!) and it just takes forever to thicken.

Serves 8-10

Go decadent and try this rich dessert the way the French do it...you'll find that a smaller amount fills you for a longer time, actually allowing you to consume less calories than you will with low-fat versions.

Dish of the Four Seasons - The premise of this dish is to use whatever vegetables are in season and readily available to you. This recipe is just a guideline. Use any vegetables that are in season.

Basically, you fill your crockpot half way with sliced onion and whatever other vegetables are in season or look good. Add canned beans and seasoning, and top with tomatoes.

The ingredients below are just an example. :o)
