I would recommend starting by reading this post about my favorite slow cooker cookbook http://foodiemommy.blogspot.com/2009/03/another-easy-meal-slow-cooker-pot-roast.html<br /><br />The "Year of Crockpotting" site is also fabulous. <br /><br />I do post recipes-just click on the right side under "FoodieMommy Cooks". But I am not sure the meatball recipe is there. I will try to post that soon!<br /><br />Lauren: alas, my kids can't eat shellfish or eggs! But those suggestions are perfect for parents, especially when it is so easy to get frozen shrimp. I may try that with a light white fish or chicken.FoodieMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04161780617190920085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042479606286828148.post-5617484368162832572010-03-19T10:14:58.109-04:002010-03-19T10:14:58.109-04:00Great list!

I also like frittatas - it's easy to prep the potatoes and other veggies ahead of time. Baked shrimp scampi or baked shrimp with red peppers or tomatoes and feta are other favorites, since we usually have a bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer. I can throw it all together in a casserole dish while the baby is napping and then bake it later.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758094085680171461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042479606286828148.post-34280561322533403412010-03-18T21:44:49.886-04:002010-03-18T21:44:49.886-04:00Awesome!

Which slow-cooker do you have, and what would you recommend? Also, do you post your recipes online? I have no idea how to make meatballs, for example, but would love to learn.Carlahttp://adjustmentdisorder.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
