My family's favorites are chicken (either roaster size or boneless breasts), beef roast or london broil thick steak. Simply put the meat into the crock pot with either low sodium stock (chicken, beef, or vegetable). Or you can just use water, about 1-1/2 cups. Add seasoning like Mrs Dash (various flavors available. If you want to add raw veggies, put them in with the meat. Cook to desired doneness. We like when the meat just comes apart with a fork, no cutting needed.
Another favorite is Chili. Add drained & rinsed red beans, salsa (choice of hotness factor), plus it already has onions, peppers & seasonings, & cooked ground turkey. I brown it then add taco seasoning mix. Add any other ingredients or seasonings. Cook for at least a couple hours on high, or can cook most of the day on low. Stir occasionally to keep well mixed.

This isn't a recipe, but I've made lots of stove-top soups that are lower in both (I think). I like making a "green" soup using fresh green and orange veggies (like spinach leaves, celery, zuccini, baby carrots, etc.) with one or two bouillon cubes (some sodium but not as much as adding salt). I toss in some lentils and barley and as much ground ginger as tastes good. You could try fresh ginger. Basically with this I load up on the fresh stuff and try to season more than salt. You could make this in a crock pot. You can get pretty experimental with soups using a vegetable base and adding whatever is handy (produce, leftover chicken, rice, barley, lentils, noodles at the last minute, etc.).

I second Vanessia's endorsement for Steph's crockpot 365 website. She doesn't use canned soup as a base often, unlike most crockpot recipes.

I would love to have some also. I use my crock pot all the time.

Hi~~
Go to crockpot.com!!!
Enjoy!!!

I can't say if the recipes are low sodium, but they are low fat. In the book "Saving Dinner", the author gives a week's worth of recipes at a time. Each Friday recipe is a crock pot recipe. She gives you the shopping lists, too! I recommend it highly.
Congrats on the upcoming wedding :)
