In Search of Crock Pot Recipes

I am very new to this cooking thing, yes I am 35 but I never really had to cook. I can do your basics, pasta, grilled cheese, cereal, scrambled eggs, pancakes, but never really ventured away from that. My problem is I get hungry and I want to eat now, not after I figure out how to cook, now, so my best friend has been the microwave.
My husband BTW is a chef, yes sounds great but he doesn't do much cooking at home since he's always at work, but he does bring food home, Plus #1 and plus #2 is it can go in the microwave and I can eat it now! I am a very boring eater so he really doesn't like to cook for me anyway, I don't like spice, really don't eat much in condiments except BBQ and parm cheese I don't even use pepper, so he really doesn't like to cook for me anyway.
Which brings me to where I am today, I am learning how to cook, I have 2 kids 1 and 3 and I have to figure out this cooking thing fast. This past Christmas I started baking cookies, they came out well at least thats what I was told. LOL Funny thing is for Christmas I received my 1st recipe box. Hahaha.
Now I've been hearing about alot of people using a crock pot. We have one, its in the basement in the box it came in for our wedding, 5 yrs ago. I've always wanted to use it but never new how or what to put in it, my husband doesn't really crock pots, I mean he's a real cook, its art to him, so many I can see that. But I need it!! I don't however have any recipes. So I'm calling out to the bloggy world Help me find some crock pot recipes...... please send me some, comment, email littlemamasdiapers.com, twitter, FB, something!! Please help!!
A big thank you to anyone who helps or benefits from the posts of others.

frozen italian meatballs - a jar of chili sauce (it's not spicy - it's more sweet)...and about 2/3 jar of Grape jelly - I know! I know! Sounds strange - but it's really - REALLY GOOD! It's great for parties - but I like to make meatball subs with melted cheese too! Or you can use the frozen meatballs - (or make your own and freeze them for future use)...and put them in - with marinara sauce - and it's ready for later! Otherwise - google it - there's so many sites! (www.Epicurious.com)
