Low Fat Crockpot Veggie Stew

By Courtney 20 Comments

This Low Fat Crockpot Veggie Stew is the perfect recipe to make on a chilly Sunday to have for the rest of the week!

IMG_2370

Crockpot meals are absolute favorites of ours over here. Jay and I really enjoyed the Burgundy Beef Stew that I made last week, so I decided another stew creation was in order. I didn’t have any beef on hand this time, however, so I just raided the veggie drawer and created a veggie stew!

IMG_2353

I actually started prepping the stew last night by chopping up all of my veggies and placing them in the crockpot. (That’s why they may look a little dry…)

IMG_2355
This morning, I simply uncovered the ready-to-go veggies, added some chicken broth, Italian-style diced tomatoes, and some seasonings.

IMG_2358

I gave it a quick stir, turned the crockpot on low, and I was out the door!

Nine hours later, I walked through the door only to be greeted with the most amazing aromas roaming in the air. Ahhh, hello dinner! :)

You could always add in a protein of choice, if you desire!

On another positive, and super-exciting note…I’m making progress with the bread machine!

IMG_7537

On Saturday night, while our friends Joe & Kate were over visiting, I enlisted Kate’s services with the bread machine (she’s made some amazing bread!). We whipped up a simple loaf of white bread – figured we should keep things easy to start!

IMG_7536IMG_7538

While my loaf still sunk a little bit, it came out of the pan in one piece, so HEY, there’s a HUGE step in the right direction! Jay and I snacked on some yesterday with breakfast, and I knew it would go perfect with tonight’s stew.

And to spread on our bread, I even mixed up a little impromptu herb butter!

IMG_7539IMG_7542

Using about 2 tbsp light whipped butter, I added a dash (no measuring) of:

  • garlic powder
  • ground mustard
  • Italian seasoning
  • lemon juice

It turned out pretty good! Heck, everything turned out pretty good! I am a happy camper! ;)

Tonight’s dessert will be another small piece of Wedding Cake, enjoyed while watching the premier of The Bachelor…

Life Is Good :)

Question for the Evening:

Has your 2011 gotten off to a great start?!?

    I really need to get a crock pot! I love knowing that I have dinner on its way before I get home from work, especially since I don't usually get home before 6:45-7ish. Looks great, Courtney! (and belated happy anniversary!)

    I use a similar method to make soups, but haven't tried a stew yet! This looks delicious. I love the idea of adding cornstarch and water at the end to thicken it up a bit. Thanks!

    That stew looks delicious! And I love that it can be left during the day! I might try that with vegetable broth and maybe tofu for protein...? :)

    This is terrific! What wonderful flavor! I cooked it in my Instant Pot as my Crockpot isn't big enough for this quantity. It turned out wonderfully!!! Do you have any idea of the amount of SERVINGS this produces? It's mostly for my diet app - My Fitness Pal - to calculate the calories. Thanks!!!
