I've tried a few recipes from here, and they do not disappoint!
This week I've used my crockpot twice and it's been so nice to come home and dinner is pretty much done! Earlier this week I made a pork roast and tonight it's chicken & dumplings.
Some other easy, quick and somewhat healthy dinners I make are:
Pork chop, rice & veggies
Tacos (taco salad for me) or fajitas
Stirfry
Chicken Fried Rice so yummy and with brown rice its pretty healthy. You can also add a bunch of veggies instead of or in addition to chicken.
Cajun Chicken Pasta is another good go to for me.
I agree with pp though a crockpot is a huge time saver.
I just made this tonight when jmaiuri and her H cameover... pretty simple, and I thought it tasted pretty good (but you can PM jmaiuri if you want her honest opinion? haha)

Another vote for the crockpot. Cook a whole chicken with just some salt/pepper or whatever seasonings you like, and a dash of stock or wine or water. That's dinner one night. Then, you can make chicken soup with the leftover chicken. There's at least two dinners with very little prep time!
Ribs are also amazing in the slowcooker. Just a dry rub is all you need on those. Put the sauce on when they come out of the crockpot. Or chicken thighs...season with salt, pepper and cumin, add 1/4 cup of salsa, before serving shred the chicken and add another 1/4 cup salsa. Viola...tacos or burritos!
Awesome! thx for sharing, I will check them out.
