I've been having fun trying some of the different crock pot recipes. Most of turned out pretty good. I'm trying to use my crock pot more. I've found some good issues for rotisserie chickens on Pinterest too.
I'm now into looking up Christmas recipes for my annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Party
I love my crock pot. I made chicken soup from scratch with it a few weeks ago. The chicken was so tender, it basically all fell apart.
I make a chicken taco chili in the crock pot - it's great for entertaining. I made a double recipe for New Years Eve and there were no leftovers - and there were only 5 of us!

I make a good pumpkin gingerbread trifle for Christmas parties. It feeds a crowd and doesn't take any real skill. I try to make a variety of hot and cold finger foods and dips. If you search for "santa party mix" on pinterest, links will come up for a cute recipe for that. I've made that, and it's a hit.

Which one did you make?
I made a salsa chicken thing in my crockpot a week or two ago that was reaaaaally good.
Chicken breasts (I use tenderloins), i bottle of salsa, and a pacakage of taco seasoning.... It was nomtastic. FI keeps asking when I'm going to make it again.

I love my crock pot! The only thing is that after a while everything starts tasting the same (to me at least lol). Saturdays are my crock pot days this Saturday I'm making a chicken soup it sounds good we shall see. If it is good I'll post the link....
i made crock pot fajitas. They were mediocre. I made a chicken cordon bleu in the crock pot which was good but kind of salty.
Many of the cashew chicken/burbon chicken/sweet n sour chicken recipes in the crock pot are good too. They do start tasting all the same though. Many of them have a mix of honey/ketchup/soy sauce in them. Nothing i've made has been horrible, but not many have been something i'd make over and over again.
