Well, it might not be the official Slowcooker month, but I've gotten more recipe suggestions for the slow cooker this month than I know what to do with!
Here's another resource for those of you who love to cook with your slowcooker:

I'm a big fan of Cooking Light magazine (not trying to get you to buy it) and website. Their recipes are always a bit more healthy than some of the other resources out there.
Let me know if you try any of the recipes and I'll let you know of the ones I try! (The in-laws are going to Tae Kwon Do tomorrow night with our family. I'm thinking I should feed them after the class. I will probably do something in the slow cooker... I'll let you know how it goes. I may even post pictures from the class!)
