These are five of the best crock pot recipes that I have found around the web, and want to share them with you!

Chicken fajitas are a meal that the entire family can get into. Wrap this delicious combination in corn tortillas or put it over some brown rice to have a well-rounded, delicious meal! For the not as health conscious people at your table, you can put out flour tortillas, sour cream, and cheese. To add a little something extra to yours, plop a tablespoon of guacamole on top for an extra delicious factor.

Stuffed peppers are a classic healthy dinner. However, they can be A LOT of work. These will take a little bit of time to put together, but you can do that the night before or even on Sunday. Just pop them into the crock pot in the morning and you will come home to deliciousness. The healthy carbs, fats, and proteins in this meal will keep you full and satisfied.
