    This looks really good! Thanks! I unfortunately do not have much crockpotting experience - so I'm of no help with providing any good recipes. But I'd love to see what others post!

    Try the website Skinny Taste - she has several delicious crock pot recipes.
    My standard is chicken breast, black beans, corn, and salsa.

    Simple and tasty:

    Take 4-6 beets. Was them. Put them in crockpot on low overnight. Turn off in morning. Put in fridge.

    By night you have absolutely lovely translucent pearls of beets that can be peeled and put on the table as is. My kids' favorite recipe.

    It works for potatoes and yams too.
