Skinnytaste.com also has some really good ones. The crockpot carne guisada and chicken taco soup are so good.

I have a huge slow cooker, so I put a lot of veg in the bottom when I make this: http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2008/05/lemon-and-herb-crockpot-roasted-chicken.html

Whenever I buy rotisserie chicken, I freeze the carcasses in a quart-sized Ziploc freezer bag. When I have a bunch, I make bone broth in the Crock-Pot and freeze it in single servings. You can skip the veggies & herbs, and I always chill the stock & skim the fat before freezing: http://www.joyouslydomestic.com/2013/06/homemade-slow-cooker-chicken-stock.html

I like:
12 oz chicken breasts
Italian herbs (fresh or dried)
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp pepper
1 red pepper - diced
2 zucchini - diced
15 oz can cannellini beans - drained and rinsed
15 oz can tomatoes - diced
A few tbs tomato paste

6 hours on slow. The chicken just falls apart. I serve it over rice for DH and with side vegies for me with a touch of parmesan cheese. Just FYI it doesn't freeze super well, it gets quite watery when it's defrosted.

I put pork loin in the crock pot and it is really good. It gets so tender. I cover the bottom with lemon juice and add some garlic salt, parsley, cumin, and just a little cayenne pepper. I often throw some baby potatoes in with it. Pork loin is high in protein. I am going to try the recipe posted by oh happy day. Thanks!
