When something breaks

Ok... I must confess... our oven broke like a month ago and we still havnt fixed it. I know I know, getting it fixed is pretty simple. Call someone, pay them to come fix it, done. BUT I have been having entirely too much fun cooking with my crock pot that I have forgotten about the oven! I have become more creative and really... you can cook like everything in the crockpot. Even yogurt and wine! So far, I have cooked apple spice oatmeal, stuffed peppers, chicken stew, chicken soup, pot roast, and chicken broth. Its just so easy. Also, all of these recipes have been loaded with fresh veggies and meat and low carb. (good for my condition) Also low on sugar too. (also a plus for me)
Side note:
Carbohydrates and PCOS

A diet low in fats, but high in carbohydrates may not be beneficial for women with PCOS. High levels of carbohydrates can trigger the overproduction of insulin, which is detrimental in effect. Hence, a diet which is low in carbohydrates is considered as ideal, but avoid refined ones like breads, pastas, cookies, ice creams, etc. You can include more complex carbohydrates like whole-grain breads and cereals, whole-wheat pasta, barley, brown rice and beans. Prefer lower glycemic index foods, which take more time to turn into blood sugar. They have higher fiber content than the high glycemic foods (foods that break down quickly during digestion and release glucose rapidly into the bloodstream).

The daily consumption of carbohydrates should not be less than 40 grams. A lower intake of carbohydrates can cause ketosis. Maintain intervals in the intake of carbohydrates. If you consume the whole recommended levels of carbohydrates in a single meal, it can cause a rapid rise in the blood sugar and insulin. Try to drink more water and liquids. Avoid caffeinated drinks. Avoid foods containing saturated and trans fats like red meat, whole dairy products, butter and margarine, fried and spicy foods, etc. Foods high in mono unsaturated fats and omega 3 fats are good for the health of the heart.

Now this doesn't mean that I totally am super crazy about avoiding all sugars because I LOVE SUGAR! I love ice cream, cookies, cakes, brownies, you name it. I just now try to keep it out of the house. And yes, some days, I just don't care and really need (want) that comfort food. But I do try to be more conscious about what goes in. More salads, and rarely ice cream in the house.
So back to the crock pot thing. I am in love. I can premake dinner and then have it ready to eat when we get home. I can plan meals based on the fresh produce that is on sale each week. I am not sure what is next on the agenda but it might have something to do with pumpkin. :)
