Crock Pot Receipes

My friend and I are attempting to save money and learn how to cook meals that last for a few day, and we got crock pots.. So in an interest of not buying a crock pot book (that would hardly save money),,, and also in the interest of having good tasting food not just the random stuff I can find online that might be nasty or processed junk...

I need some suggestions! Anyone ever use one of these crock pots for dinner? What do you make and will you send me the recipe!?

i just emailed you the crockpot recipes that my gram emailed me. here's a good one to try:
crock pot cabbage roles
12 lg. cabbage leaves
1 lb. lean ground beef or lamb
1/2 c. cooked rice
1 can tomato paste (6 oz.)
3/4 c. water
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. leaf thyme

Wash cabbage leaves. Boil 4 cups water. Turn off heat. Soak leaves in water for 5 minutes. Remove, drain and cool. Combine ground meat, rice, salt, pepper, and thyme. Place 2 tablespoons meat mixture on each leaf and roll firmly. Stack in electric slow cooker. Combine tomato paste and water; pour over stuffed cabbage. Cover. Cook on low setting for 8 - 10 hours.
