TAGS: slow cooker meals, dinner ideas, beef stew, pulled pork, pot roast

Does baseball, soccer, track and the spring music program have you scrambling for dinner during the week? Learn to love the crock pot.

Just remember, a little preparation goes a long way. Follow the links to the recipes you like, make a trip to the grocery store, and you'll be set for the week.

Pulled Pork Memphis Style Barbecue—We recommended it during Oscar week, but still get lots of comments from friends about its simplicity.

Beef Stew—We love this recipe because it's so easily adaptable to wild schedules.

Italian Pot Roast Stracotto—Classic Italian comfort food, stracotto, is as easy as pot roast and the leftovers are terrific with pasta—if you have leftovers—that is.
