Like dip di-dip di-dip Doo-bop a doo-bee doo.

One of our sans crock pot go to meals is what we've creatively nicknamed "Fishcorn" which is one of our favorite things to shove in the oven/boiling pot of water when we don't have a lot of time to cook. It takes no effort to make and 30 minutes to cook. It's a breaded tilapia fillet from Safeway and an ear of corn. We also have a  seafood place nearby that we've (again) creatively nicknamed "The Fish Store". They serve lots of fresh seafood and you can add an ear of corn for $1.  

Tilapia is the only fish I actually enjoy eating other than canned tuna. Even then, I pretty much drown my tilapia in lemon juice. THAT is why I picked this recipe.

"Lemon Pepper Tilapia" (3.5 quart pot)

~2 fresh tilapia fillets
~3 T butter, softened
~1 T lemon juice
~1 t salt
~1/2 t pepper
~1 T fresh parsley
~1 T fresh chives

Mix last 6 ingredients in a small bowl.
Coat both sides of fillets with mixture.
Wrap fillets in aluminum foil.
Cover and cook on low for 2 hours.

It was good, but it wasn't lemony enough for my liking.

I kept running across a recipe for crocked corn on the cob. Yes, it takes 12 minutes on the stove top, but if you find/create a reason to crock corn on the cob (Like maybe you have no water, but you do have a electricity and a crock pot...?), this is what you do:

"Corn on the cob" (3.5 quart pot)

~corn on the cob (I used 2 ears, but you can use as many as you can fit in your pot)
~Aluminum foil

Shuck corn.
Wrap corn in aluminum foil.
Cover and cook on high for 2 hours.

It's corn on the cob. Crocked. Simple as that.
