    Chuck roast (from beef shoulder) was on sale this weekend so I'll soon be making barbacoa similar to this from Rick Bayless. I'll also make a traditional beef stew with cumin and poblano pepper. Couldn't find a recipe to link to but think regular beef stew with traditional veggies like potatoes onions, carrots, celery plus Poblano peppers. Seasoned with ground ancho peppers, cumin and coriander seeds.
    I usually just cook it in a dutch oven because my crock pot doesn't have the sear setting and I really want to brown the meat first, make a roux, then add back the beef with vegetables and stock or water.

    I love this cilantro-lime chicken. Great for tacos, or taco salad, there are other crockpot meal ideas on this blog as well.

    I have six small chix breasts w/ a bottle of Frank's wing sauce and a little honey in my crockpot right now! I shred it afterwards and use just a little of the remaining sauce since I don't like too spicy and sauce is high in sodium. I make my own blue chz dressing and eat it all in a whole wheat wrap w/ romain and rainbow slaw (undressed) or just on a pile of greens. Even my 11 yr old loves it and it's low cal/ low ingredients!
