Ginger-Cranberry Pork Roast

2 pork roasts
2, 12 ounce package fresh cranberries or 2 cans of whole cranberries
1 cup peeled and sliced or minced ginger
2 tablespoons rapadura sugar
2 tablespoons of quick cooking tapioca or some other thickening agent.
1 cup filtered water

Dump all ingredients (except water) into two, one gallon bags. Label and put in freezer.
Day of cooking dump contents of bag into slow cooker, add the water, and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, or until fully cooked. Remember each slow cooker is different, so the first time you make a recipe, really watch it so you don’t over or under cook it.
Serve with sauteed broccoli in lots of butter. I cook frozen broccoli this way, no need to thaw, just dump frozen broccoli into a hot pan with hot butter and it is delicious.
Enjoy!

Healthy Mama BBQ Chicken

3 medium unpeeled sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch pieces, about 2 cups
2 large green pepper, cut into strips or cubes, about 2 cups
1 large red pepper, cut into strips or cubes, about 1 cup
2 zucchini, chopped, about 2 cups
2 cups chopped onion
2 tablespoon quick cooking tapioca (or flour, or some other thickening agent)
2 pounds chicken thighs or drumsticks
2 15oz cans of tomato sauce
4 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoon ground yellow mustard
2 clove garlic, finely minced, about 2 tablespoons
1 teaspoon salt

Divide everything into two separate one gallon freezer bags, shake it up, seal, label and put in the freezer. On the day of cooking, dump it into your slow cooker and cook on high for 4 to 6 hours, or low 6-8 hours, depending on your specific slow cooker.

Orange Beef Stew

3 to 4 pounds of chuck roast (or any other kind of roast)
2 cups of beef broth (I use homemade stock)
2 cups of orange juice (fresh juice is best, but I was running short on time and just used Uncle Matt’s Organic)
1 tablespoon of rapadura sugar
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
2 tablespoons of arrow root powder/flour
2 tablespoons of minced garlic (fresh is best, but not having to cut up garlic is so nice!)
1 bunch of scallions
2 sweet potatoes, cut into 1 inch cubes. ( I scrub them good, but leave the skins on)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions: Label 1 one-gallon freezer bag. Chop sweet potatoes and scallions, then add to freezer bag. Add in sugar, arrow root flour, soy sauce, garlic and orange juice. Mix up well and then lay bag flat and place in freezer. Day of cooking: add contents of freezer bag, roast, 2 cups of beef broth, salt and pepper to slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. Serve with fresh salad and homemade sourdough bread, if you have it.
