I do a lot of beans in my slow cooker, as well as long-cooking greens, and other healthy stuff. I also roast chickens for sandwiches or dinners with no added fats - it can be healthypants, if you let it. :)
I was given several books for my wedding, on the theme of vegetarian food in the slow cooker - most dishes taken only 4-5 hours, which sucks on work days, but for weekends it's alright.
Beans from scratch are infinitely better than beans from cans, and much cheaper, too. Try it!
I'm about to try some curries in the slow cooker - got an indian slow cooker book from gvpl, and I'm slightly skeptical and will need to buy lots of unfamiliar spices to make it work, but I'm giving it a try. I have a pumpkin needs killing...
