I know it's been done

I know this has been done, but I got this great crockpot book for my birthday, and I'm thinking about cooking just crockpot meals until I use them all.  DH will still cook every other day, and can make whatever.  I use my crockpot a lot when I'm teaching, because I don't get home until late and I think this might challenge myself.  The only exceptions would be that we don't eat veal or lamb.  What do you think?

Sounds good, hopefully you end up liking most of the recipes. If you're looking for another to add to your list, I really like this one:

IDK what's up w/ it's picture looking like a sandwich wrap, though!  I like to use fresh mushroom instead of canned, it's really good on mashed potatoes!

In college my roomates and I used crockpots all the time for dinner. There are some wonderful things that can just be thrown in there and left to simmer for a few hours. I will say that it took us about a month to get the hang of what to cook and what not to cook in a crock pot but after that we used it at least 3 times a week and clean up was a breeze.
