Summary: Also great if you need to lose a few pounds...
Comment: Watching your weight and what you're eating can be a full time occupation but I don't have a personal chef at home to do it for me. THIS BOOK IS REALLY EXCELLENT. It has a lot of tasty recipes and although this book is not intended as a weight loss diet, it has recipes that are pretty healthy! I especially like the soup recipes, they really look pretty healthy, there are a bunch that utilize lots of veggies and different spices. A lot of the recipes don't say anything about butter or margarine but the food turns out quite flavorful. By reading through the recipes, you can assemble a nice collection of spices that will really flavor up a lot of your meals. It just takes practice.
Since a crockpot can yield quite a bit, depending on your family size you could have plenty of leftovers. You can freeze some of it and have it a week or two later for some variety.
The other thing I really liked about this book is that it has a nice sturdy hardcover you can wipe off, the pages are thick and glossy, the photographs are very inviting and there are lots of them. There is one recipe per page with nice large clear letters so the text doesn't look so tiny and voluminous to appear like the dish takes a lot of effort. Overall, a really nice book!

Summary: A great first book of slow cooker recipes.
Comment: There are lots of different recipes in here. But the best thing is that they aren't all "add a can of cream of whatever soup." There are a few of those, too, but these are actual recipes that anyone can make. You throw everything together and a few hours later, you have dinner!
Some of the recipes include pictures; most don't. One thing that's a little surprising is the variety of recipes. There are dinner recipes, of course, but there are also appetizers and hot beverages, sides, and desserts. (Fruit and Nut Baked Apples! Yum!)
If you're not already a slow cooker convert, what are you waiting for?? This is not just for people who work all day, this is for anyone who has errands to run, and doesn't want to rush dinner at the last minute. With this cookbook, you will find something to please everyone in your family, from elaborate (spareribs simmered in orange sauce) to simple (macaroni and cheese).

Summary: A Savior for the Cooking-Challenged
Comment: I hate cooking. Hate it. With a passion. I can burn water. I spend as little time as possible cooking, and given the choice, would rather live off cold Pop Tarts than (gasp!) light the oven and endanger myself and my fiance, not to mention the surrounding neighborhood. What a delight to me, then, that there is such a thing as a slow cooker. I can only imagine that it's almost as nice as having a personal chef. Minimal work, no hands-on cooking, and one-dish cleanup. Oh, joy!
Having gotten a slow cooker, I was now faced with the prospect of What To Put In It. My fiance and I are meat and potatoes people. If we can't pronounce it, chances are good that we're not going to eat it. Most of the cookbooks I paged through contained fancy recipes that we would never eat. Not to mention, given my limited culinary expertise, I was really starting at rock bottom, here.
Finally, I happened across this book. From cover to cover, it has real everyday recipes that your whole family will enjoy. The directions are clear and easy to follow. (If I can do it, anyone can. Trust me.) And the recipes are delicious! I have used this cookbook more than any other I have bought. It makes cooking (Dare I say it?) fun! Who knows? I might even start doing more of it.
