Hi, I'm Melisa Hayes — welcome to Crockmeals! I started this site to share my favorite crockpot and slow cooker recipes, the same ones I make for my own family. My family and friends actually gave me the nickname "Crockpot Queen" because I use my slow cooker for just about every meal. If you're like me — juggling work and family life and trying not to spend all your free time in the kitchen — Crockmeals is for you.
