For this challenge, I adapted Braised Red Cabbage (Choux Rouges Brais�s) #232732 by Bayhill and posted Crockpot Braised Red Cabbage #484550. I added an apple, a bay leaf and some chicken stock. I also replaced the vinegar with the same amount of fresh lemon juice. When I made it I served it with sliced sausage (you can see it in the photo) to make it a meal with some french bread.

Really colorful - especially with your lemon banner.

Thanks!

Thanks Lynn. I'll get that noted.

i will be doing this. a question, tho...just to be clear...it says -

Prepare the recipe and post your review and photos (if any were taken) as usual to the recipe.

as i read it, we choose a recipe, adapt it, make the adapted recipe & submit the adapted recipe to the site. we can't review our own recipes. are we supposed to make the original as well & review that so now we're cooking 2 recipes for this challenge?

thanks!

eta i will be adapting Tarragon Chicken #479544 by Chocolatl.

For Bistro Babes, I adapted Roast Pork Loin With Creamy Dijon Sauce #437150 by IngridH, for use in the crock pot. I posted the adapted recipe, Crock Pot Roast Pork Loin With Creamy Dijon Sauce #484635 showing the changes that I made. I added additional cooking liquid, and I used creme fraiche instead of sour cream as it is more heat stable and less likely to curdle when added to hot liquid. It was fall apart tender and delicious. I couldn't get a good photo of the finished recipe as none of them turned out good.

Hi Bethie
No, you don't make the original recipe - just your new adapted one. The wording of that phrase should have been more clear.

Sounds great, Bayhill. Merci.

Sure. Looks like most people are adding their 'review' in their intro to the recipe. A nice heads-up for anyone looking at it.

Hey there, Ma Field here for the Honeys:

I adapted Beef Burgundy from Dreamer In Ontario to become my Crockpot Beef Burgundy

I'm with Dreamer, the wine makes it so use the good stuff. I added a little more garlic and herbs as is normal for me. This is a yummy one and I higly recommend some mashed potatoes to slide under for a comfort food blast.

I have completed the challenge for the team by converting Bayhill's recipe for Glazed Carrots (Carottes Vichy), #232735 and changing it for use in a slow cooker to Crock Pot Glazed Carrots #484650.

Sorry for no photo - DD has been in labor off and for the last day. We are hoping labor will stay so I can meet this little grandson. Busy running around and waiting!

Woohoo! He's almost here!! Save that memory card to greet the new little man!! Thanks for reporting your completion too.

I told the team that I could not wait to post photos of what my DD has been cooking for 9 months!!

I'll be sure to share photos (probably so many you'll be tired of me!)
