How about some crock-pot recipes.  I have 3 crock-pots, a 1.5 quart, a 3 
quart and a 5 quart and I love to use them.  I've even been known to have
all three going at once.  I like being able to throw
everything in in the a.m., set a timer and have dinner ready when I get
home from work/school/whatever.  To start the ball rolling here's my
favorite:


                               CROCK-POT CHEESE SOUP

         2 cans cream soup             1 tsp. worcestershire sauce
         1 cup milk or beer            1/4 tsp. paprika
         1 lb. cheddar cheese, cubed   Croutons
                                       Crumbled bacon (optional)

         Put all ingredients in crock-pot except croutons and bacon.  Cover 
         and cook on Low 4 to 6 hours (High: 2 hours, stirring
         occasionally).  Serve in warm bowls.  Top with croutons and bacon. 
         Recipe may be doubled for 5-quart model.

         HINTS:  I usually use one can cheddar cheese soup and one can of 
         another cream soup (asparagus is one of my favorites), and milk 
         instead of beer.  I also tend to make a double batch to have 
         extras for lunch.

         Serve with a salad or rolls, though the soup makes a good meal all 
         by itself.  Also great with quiche.
