This crockpot green beans and potatoes recipe is easy to make in your slow cooker. I make this dish often, but I have never measured the ingredients, so this recipe is a reasonable approximation. Freeze the leftover cooking liquid and add it to bean soup, ham and cabbage dishes, or use it to boil dumplings. It's delicious!

- 1 large onion , chopped

Norwegian Cabbage Rolls
Velkommen! My take on traditional Norwegian kålruletter. My girlfriend likes the way I make them. I use a little less potato starch and throw some caraway seeds and rice in the filling, leaving a more meaty texture and a bit more flavor, in my opinion. Serve with brunsaus (brown gravy), rice, and boiled potatoes. Agurksalat (cucumber salad) is a great accompaniment to this dish.
Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowl
This high-protein, low-carb cottage cheese breakfast bowl will keep you full all morning. Feel free to use different veggies or try it with ham instead of bacon. You can also use butter or oil instead of bacon grease. This recipe also works well as part of a keto diet.
Garlic Shrimp Aguachile
If you like sushi, sashimi, ceviche, or fish crudo, or even if you just like beautiful, delicious, easy things to make, this garlic shrimp aguachile is for you. Aguachile, or "chile water," uses lime juice to "cook" the shrimp, or, if served immediately, to just make the shrimp taste fabulous. And you are going to serve it on tortilla chips, so if you weren't tempted already, now you certainly are.
