    http://www.crock-pot.com/recipes.html has tons of awesome, easy, and healthy recipes. You can even search by cuisine, ingredient, meal, or flavor. I use my crockpot a lot so my husband doesn't have to worry about finding something for dinner while I'm at school or work so finding new recipes can be a challenge. Most of the recipes on this website are cheap to make, which is a definite plus for a college student.

      Staci,
      Thank you.  This is exactly how my husband and I try to cook throughout the week.  It just seems as if both of our schedules are always so busy and different.  The crockpot meals are the best way to ensure that we both get a hot meal when we are hungry.
