Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook: Feasting with Your Slow Cooker

by Phyllis Pellman Good

Who's hungry? EVERYONE. Who has time to cook? NO ONE. Dig out the slow cooker. Add a second and a third if you wish. Fill one with main-dish fixins and the others with go-alongs. Do it in the morning--or between work and after-school events. Come home to richly-flavored, ready-to-serve food. Slow cookers are having a comeback. With good reason. They are friends on a day of running errands. They allow easy entertaining with no last-minute preparation. And vegetarians won't find a better way to work with dried beans. Slow cookers are gentle with the food budget--less expensive ingredients flourish in their slow, moist heat. Fix-It and Forget-It offers the range of recipes slow cookers do Appetizers and Snacks, Soups and Stews, Main Dishes (with and without meat), Vegetables and Go-Alongs, Desserts and Beverages. Bring an element of simplicity--and quality--to your pressured life! Let your slow cooker work for you.

Terrible. I have had this book for many years and tried many recipes always hoping I’ll come across a good one. I haven’t. I’m done. It will go straight into the recycle bin. I couldn’t possibly donate it to the thrift store in good conscience.

Great selection of ideas: main dishes, appetizers, desserts, drinks...lots of beef/chicken meal ideas. Found a couple I'd like to try....I'm not so creative as what's listed, but it's good.
