About the author

I'm a wife and a mother to a beautiful 7 year old and active 4 year old . I love to cook, but as crazy busy as my life is, the slow cooker is my life-saver! My passion for developing recipes started at a young age when my grandma taught me and my cousins to cook. During my college years, I began to experiment on my own and as I entered the work force, my creativity really developed. My second cookbook, The Gluten-Free Slow Cooker will be released on Oct. 1, but it available for presale wherever books are sold now. My first cookbook, Slow Cooker Recipes 10 Ingredients or Less and Gluten-Free is available for sale online. In addition to writing cookbooks, I teach Elementary Music, I'm a Young Living Essential Oils Educator and a blogger. Am I crazy busy...or just crazy? Yes, but I love living my life the way I'm living it!

Very interesting!

I found quite a few recipes to photocopy, including a few for soups, pork chops, bananas foster, and pears in ginger sauce. All seem easy to make, and what I like best, for each recipe, nutritional information is provided, as well as a color photograph of what each food should look like. This visual learner appreciates this jumping off point.

The dips look the best. Some things seemed like it was stretching it to be a crockpot recipe.

I am generally a fan of the Fix It and Forget It Cookbook series, but this one just didn't contain anything that looked appealing or that was different from the recipes I already use.

This is a good idea, but a lot of the recipes are repetitive. For example, there are about five oatmeal recipes and at least that many for pot roast. The sauces for the roast are slightly different, but not that much. They have an onion dip recipe in here that is very good; I also liked the sweet and sour roast recipe (with the addition of sweet potatoes and frozen green beans). There are a few recipes with good suggestions.

While this book is practical, and there are pictures for most dishes, it wasn't incredibly appetizing. This is a good reference. Also, while I found this to be healthy-ish, there isn't full nutritional information - there is fat and calories, but not sodium.

It felt like a fair bit of repetition in places - notably breakfast oats recipes, and the vegetarian mains recipes were almost non existent. Some things don’t translate f on American either, so I would have to google ingredients to see what on earth the thing was. Half and half? Half what?

Recipes in this book are super basic. If you've read "Fix-It and Forget-It Best 5-Ingredient Comfort Food Recipes: 75 Quick & Easy Slow Cooker Meals" by the same author you'll be skipping many pages, as the recipes from that book have been repeated in this one.

oof. i did appreciate the simplicity of these, but only one vegetarian entree in the whole book? i'm not a vegetarian but was hoping this would be more balanced - for that, i will have to get even more specific and look for simple slow cooker vegetarian recipes. the breakfast section was good.

Great pictures, but only one or two recipes that I actually want to try!

[Amy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Finally a cookbook that will work for me! Easy recipes, able to cut recipes in half easily. Can’t wait to try it!

I picked this cookbook for my elderly and diabetic Dad.
I will update when one of us uses the recipes.
