One of my favorite websites is www.recipezaar.com, it has a little of everything. My favorite Crockpot cookbook is Fix it and Forget it (Lightly). I will email a couple of tried and true ones to you.

Thanks for the tips. Kris10lee, where do you find your favorite Crockpot recipes. I know there are probably a ton online, so do you have a good site or a good book?

Hi Cookie,
Sometimes half the battle is in the planning. When I wait until the last minute to think about what to cook, that's when I face the decision of "what's quick" and what's "good for us". Check out the recipe section in the Resource Center and you can find several great ideas to plan ahead for. Hang in there and enjoy your little one (they grow so quick!)
Be well, Kelly

I try to remember to represent each of the food groups at supper time and exercise portion control. A protein, starch, veggie/fruit, milk/dairy. A typical fast dinner for us is a chicken breast, baked potato, salad and cup of milk. Chicken cooks very fast in a skillet with a little olive oil, lemon pepper seasoning or garlic and thyme, microwave a "baked" potato) throw together a quick salad.
Tonight we are having steak sandwiches and a salad. The steak was prepared in the Crockpot (sirloin steaks) with onions and mushrooms on a light bun.
I LOVE my Crockpot and it really makes dinner time easy.

Hi. I am new to this board. I am the mom to a very busy 3 yr old and am looking for suggestions for Quick healthy dinners for my family. This is often the meal I struggle with as far as eating healthy. I can do low cal breadfast and lunches, but then at dinner, I struggle. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
