For me, turnips are the best potato replacement. I like whole or halved red radishes as well.

I have crack chicken in my slow cooker as we speak...freezer meal... I actually used canned chicken too! We are moving soon...so gotta use up that pantry stuff... gotta get creative...

Rutabaga is a good potato substitute and very nutritious.

HELL yeah it is!! I've never had Rutabagas before this diet and SON! let me tell you!! Rutabaga fries, wedges, squares, mashed (like REALLY mashed lol)

Jerusalem Artichokes also make a good substitute for potatoes in soups and stews and stir-frys. They aren't artichokes and aren't from Jerusalem but they have inulin, and are low glycemic. Not sure if they could be purchased in stores but I've raised them for years and they really are super easy, grow with little care and are delicious on a veggie try with a dip.

Tried crack …. Chicken for the first time this evening. The whole family Absolutely loved it. You know how to make tasty food. I really appreciate your videos, got the ingredients to do the stew on another evening. 👍🏻

These look awesome!! Please do more crockpot recipes!😊

Yum! I use the typical little red radishes for potato substitutions. A lot of people don't like them but if you cook them until they are soft and lose color they taste just like potatoes. I haven't tried the daikon radish yet. Thanks for the recipes!

Trying out the beef stew recipe today, ty for the tips!

I use home made beef bone broth - amazing nutrition and flavour. You will never go back to store bought broth cartons again. I buy bones from organic meat store and freeze liquid into portions. Worth the effort. Instant Pot has replaced my slow cooker.

I usually do this too but haven’t gotten around to making a batch. I have the bones in my freezer - just need to make it. I use a slow cooker and let it cook for 2-3 days to get the most nutrition as possible.

Both of these recipes look amazing! Definitely going to try them. Nothing better than a slow cooker in Autumn!

Fab recipes thank you 😘 I’ve recommended your channel to so many friends. I’ve started keto again today (failed for a year but that’s another story) I know I’ll succeed following your recipes and it’ll never be boring 😘😘😘

Ms. Annie I really love this recipe.

Bravo for this ENTIRE video. Making this tomorrow after my new fridge gets here.

They both look great, thank you.

Diced turnips in the beef stew vs. potatoes are great!

Thanks for these! Two of my favorites and I love how simple they are! It’s been awhile since I’ve made the Crack Chicken. It’s so good I sort of overdid it and ate it too often so I finally got tired of it. Took awhile, though! 😂 Anyway, I’m pulling some chicken out of the freezer now! Thanks for the reminder and the great recipes, always!

Looking forward to making the beef stew. Have you ever tried using turnips or rutabagas instead of daikon? I've roasted rutabagas in place of potatoes and they always turn out as a great substitute for me!

You get too the home stretch and prepare to add a little liqued gold to the mix, then enjoy a bit of it as you relax and watch a little tv. It's now that you come up with the brillant idea to plug LMNT????? Come on now, you've got to do better. 😂All kidding aside, I love your videos and get a lot of VERY good ideas from them.

I prefer zucchini as my potato substitute. I love keto soups.

looks good. If you can't find daikon, try using Korean white radish. Its delicious raw, pickled, and cooked in soups. I use it sometimes when making some of my favorite Korean soups, but haven't in a while. I think the net carbs or Korean radish is also smaller than daikon. You can also substitute with a turnip if you can't find the other ingredients. Turnips though...I like to mash like mashed potatoes, but if I'm going to add to a stew or soup I want to cook it first by browning it a bit in some kind of cooking fat (today I did with the lamb fat from the broth I made last night), and sea salt. If you've never had turnip, it tastes...different. Not bad, but if you're not used to it, then it could seem like that. But its a good alternative. Otherwise, I'd boil it a bit first separately in water to try to get rid of the additional taste BEFORE adding it to the stew. Then you can also taste it and see how you want to season it. I'd use the Korean radish, personally, but that's because I like it. I also like to cut it and pour some tajin on it to snack on. The Korean radish has a taste that reminds me of jicama. Also, TONS of nutrients and actually is a good source of Vitamin C, just in case SHTF and you need to grow something for Vitamin C, fyi.

[3] For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV Bible [8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. Romans 10:9-13 KJV Bible [9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
