With just my wife and I we have much the same problem. A big meal just has too many left overs. We use the crock pot a lot in the winter.

Something simple and easy is a roast. Just find a smaller roast. Put it and some potatoes/carrots in some water in the pot. Season to taste. We just let it slow cook and have the roast and potatoes/carrots as the first meal. The we take the roast out and tear it up into small pieces. Put it back into the remaining broth. Add more vegetables, some barley, an you have a good home made vegetable soup.

We also use a LARGE roast and then just slice it for sandwiches if we don't feel like soup.

Another simple meal if you like beans and corn bread. Just put some dried beans into water with a ham bone. Let it slow cook. Then make some Jiffy mix corn bread. I like to just crumble the cornbread on a flat plate and cover it with the bean broth and ham chunks. Good eating. If you do not have a ham bone then just dice up a thick slice of ham.

I know you said you are tired of soup but I bet that is canned boughten soup. We make a good vegetable soup in our crock pot. You can get BEEF in a can just about the size of a large can of tuna. So take two of them, canned vegetables, canned potatoes, and a stalk of celery. Dump the canned vegetables with the water they come with into the pot. Dump the canned potatoes into the pot, dump the canned beef into the pot. The water off the vegetables and potatoes will give you enough broth for the soap. Then just add salt and pepper for your taste. You have a quick, cheap, good tasting soup. We usually make a large pot of it. Then after a meal or two we freeze the remaining soup for quick meals later.

These are just a few quick and easy crock pot meals we make.

We also bought a smaller electric griddle. It is easier than a skillet to cook on. Way less cleanup. We make a lot of egg, hash brown meals on it. Also a good hot grilled cheese with ham goes well with some chips or soup.

We try to share the meal duty and yet keep it simple, economical, and health. It is just the two of us in AZ in the winter so by splitting the meal duties that gives my wife time off to enjoy herself too.
