Cutting back on food is good in theory, but in practice leaves one rather grumpy.
However, for a nifty snack, anyone with access to decent cheese shops/gourmet groceries, chevre with cranberry and cinnamon is surprisingly good. [link]
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Barb, I just got a slow cooker, any particular recipes or cookbooks you care to recommend? My sister got me a huge cookbook to go with, but the recipes are mostly of the condensed soup, taco seasoning, and Velveeta variety.

I'll give up my canned black beans when I die. Last minute black bean soup with chile and chicken and onions and cinnamon, I don't have to plan ahead. But then again, my freezer is stocked with individual frozen veggie lasagnas. I seem to be allergic to planning ahead.

I've still been playing around with mine, megan, but any soup or stew recipe can be translated to a slow cooker. Things I've made so far are chili, split pea soup, and beef stew.
If you want a really interesting overall stew/soup cookbook, I like this one:
Let me browse my shelves and see if anything else comes to mind.

I just put a veggie slow cooker cookbook on hold at the library, so we shall see.
ETA: That's the one!
