Family dinner has always been important to me, but after my fourth child was born, I knew I needed help! I started experimenting with my Crock Pot, and it saved both my sanity and dinner. I reinvented slow cooker recipes to replace canned soups, mixes, and processed foods with simple, healthy, delicious ingredients.
If, like me, you struggle to get dinner on the table, this book is for you. In it, I share simple techniques for getting the most out of your slow cooker. You'll learn how to thicken sauces and make gravy, use make ahead recipes like my Italian Meat Sauce, and prepare dishes so they're fresh and flavorful -- never watered down or bland. Full color photographs.
Here are just a few of the fast, simple Crock Pot recipes in this book:
Orange-Pecan French Toast
Steel-Cut Oatmeal with Dried Cherries and Pecans
Caramel Apple Cider
Pesto Rosso Dip
Southwestern Tortilla Soup
New England Clam Chowder
Chicken With Bacon and Asparagus
Cranberry-Raspberry Pulled Pork
Best Ever Lasagna
Roasted Green Beans With Bacon
Wild Rice With Pecans and Dried Cherries
Chocolate Raspberry Lava Cake
Pumpkin Cake with Pecan Streusel
and many more.
