Here is a list of all the forum's crockpot recipes (from the Frequently Asked Questions sticky): http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=219464
I've been studying these a lot lately, as I, too, have a brand new slow cooker. I've also found a zillion or two recipes via Google.
One thing I have found useful is to drain off excess fluid into a frying pan at the end of cooking, then reduce it until there is only a tablespoon or so of liquid left, and then (depending on the recipe) thicken it with cream, sour cream or butter.
I have also found that the newer cookers have more power than the older ones, and therefore take less time to cook, especially chicken. I check my chicken after 4 hours or less, and it has been well and truly done each time. I let my first chicken dish cook for 8 hours, as per the recipe, and urk - it was WAY overcooked to the point of tastelessness.
