Dinner Suggestions??

Now that we are on a budget, I cook every weeknight (unless we have dinner plans).  But if I'm going to be cooking all the time, I really need to get some new recipes! We eat the same thing over and over. When my husband and I first got married (almost two years ago), I used to pull out my cookbooks and try new recipes. But I've gotten lazy...so most nights we either have:
Spaghetti and Meatballs (my husband's favorite)
Chicken Parmesan (so easy and yummy)
Salmon
Hamburgers

Any suggestions on other dishes I can make, or do you have a favorite cookbook that I should try??

Crockpot Cooking

Last night my in-laws came over for dinner, and so I decided that I would open my CrockPot and try it out. I now officially love the crockpot!
Around noon, into the crockpot went carrots, potatoes, onions, mushrooms, chicken cutlets, onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, and white wine. I then set the timer for five and a half hours, and just let it cook. Right before we were ready to eat, I made a salad, mixed vegetables, and rice and then we sat down to the most DELICIOUS meal. My husband and in-laws kept saying how great the chicken turned out, and my husband already asked me if I can make this dish again soon. So cute! I have a feeling the crockpot is going to be my new best friend!!!!
