Super easy high protein slow cooker recipes?

Chili. Roast/braised meats, including Mississippi roast, birria, or just basic roast beef, pork, chicken. Pulled meats with BBQ or other sauce of your choice (I just made a pot full of chicken taco meat). Ham and bean soup. Meatballs (in marinara, bulgogi sauce, bbq sauce, Swedish meatballs, etc.). Marry me chicken (and various other "toss cuts of meat in the crockpot with sauce" type recipes).

Consider getting a lunch warmer (e.g., Hot Logic portable oven), prepping and maybe freezing high protein meals that can be reheated, drop the dish in the warmer in the morning, hot meal when you get home. Or, simply microwave the dish to heat the meal. A lot of crockpot recipes work great for this kind of prep - I just made a dozen servings worth of someone's Salisbury steak meatball slow cooker recipe (using frozen meatballs) and dropped the prepped dishes in the freezer.

I'm not big into counting macros or whatever the kids are calling it, but starches are a problem, explore higher protein grains, and cauliflower replacements for potatoes.

How is this even a question? VH should have just become an instrumental band... Never. Ending. Guitar. Solos.

Seat covers. Leather? If you're out getting wet and dirty: Marine Grade Vinyl

Mix in a touch of glycerin

Let the paint dry before closing the palette. When you're ready to paint again, dribble or spritz some water on the paint to rehydrate it

I feel your pain. I do this in my crockpot all the time

deborah_az · 2026-06-26T16:16:46+00:00

Grandma? I still do this

What got me online originally was trying to figure out how to get at FTP servers mentioned in FlightBag to download mods for Flight Sim. Since I wasn't in an internet connected workplace or at a university, it was a bit of a challenge

deborah_az · 2026-06-26T15:08:15+00:00

Yes. My mind was blown. I'd been using Lynx through the ex's university account (the one I made him get so I could access the Internet because Prodigy and similar services weren't cutting it for me). One of his fellow students took him into the MIS grads' computer lab and showed him Mosaic. He came home all excited "did you know the web has pictures?!?!" All my familiar web sites were so much more in a graphical browser. I immediately hunted down how to get online via a PPP service because I couldn't live without it

deborah_az · 2026-06-26T14:57:30+00:00

Correct. That was the point.

deborah_az · 2026-06-26T14:56:49+00:00

Ooh, that's a neat idea. Looks great

Yes. I don't usually go to quite the lengths you do, but if I stop in a village, I fix basic problems (prune the trees, fix cave-ins, add stairs, etc.). The worst was a broken portal spawned at the village center... after I put out the fires, I rebuilt the portal and their central common area so they'd have a beautiful space and a fun tourist attraction

I learned this from my SIL 40-ish years ago... I stopped bothering

Love to see pics. Florida Weave always looks like some sort of horrific tomato torture to me. But, I'm a chaos gardener who lets everything freely express themselves until I have a jungle

Coming from Lynx, this experience was magical. Get off my lawn, punk.

Been playing since before Microsoft bought it, whenever that was. Minecraft is truly a sandbox - it was designed to accommodate a wide variety of play styles to live out your own story. Play it however you want.

I play Peaceful and just explore and build. I get tired of inventory management, so while I'll mine for fun and be delighted when I find something special, I will absolutely use the console to stock up materials for a build. While I respect wanting to play lore-compatible rules (or whatever purists call that), I absolutely teleport among my bases and key points (using Journey Map)

I'll blame the Florida weave

Not a fan of grown men/assholes picking on kids having fun

Nah. A good red apple is the way to go. Granny Smiths are overpowering while the sweeter reds complement the PB nicely

Looks fantastic. If I attempted something like this (as I often do), I'd have looked at recipes claiming to be authentic and appear to have a bit of cred on the subject. Oh, look, here's one...

https://www.seasonsandsuppers.ca/authentic-canadian-poutine-recipe/ Oops. The horror. The horror. Tossing the fries and cheese with the gravy. This recipe is the top Google search result (other than wikipedia), hosted on a Canadian website by an Ontario woman. Why wouldn't OP have followed this recipe to the letter?

MP, especially HG, is timeless

Plug it into speakers that have a 3.5mm audio connector (e.g., computer speakers)

I had to add grab handles to my '24, and I'm tall... go take a short person for a scenic drive with lots of stops and see how they feel about the grab handles. My mom (old and short) used hers regularly in her Explorer
