It's every busy mother's dream-come-true: dinner that makes itself! With the help of your trusty slow cooker and these healthy, easy recipes, like Peppery Cilantro Salmon, Sausage Stew, and Dark Chocolate Mini Cakes, you can put dinner on the table even on the craziest of days. Don't let the whirlwind of life stop you from feeding your family the food they deserve -- delicious, home-cooked meals straight from your slow cooker.
Bio (from Amazon):Christina Dymock was once at a dinner party where her husband was teasing her about the frosting-to-cupcake ratio on her dessert. The woman sitting across from them sniffed her delicate nose and said, "If my husband gave me a hard time about my frosting I'd quit baking. That'd show him." To which Christina's husband replied while pointing at his speechless wife, "Try to stop her!"
Christina divides her time between the kitchen and her computer and books and her family of six. (Naturally, the family gets the biggest share.) Because she reads everything, she also feels compelled to write in several genres.
Christina is the author of The Hungry Family, Young Chefs, 101 Things to Do with Popcorn, and the Widow's Mite.
Bloggy note:
Unfortunately, AimeeKay who is going to review this book, did not receive the book in time for the review, but I know she is excited to get started and even make some of the great things in the book for her family! So... check out this book in the meantime and her review will be coming!
I (can't) don't cook. Fortunately, I established very early on in all of my relationships that my place was NOT in the kitchen, and as a result I've always been well-fed. I can manage slow cooker cuisine though; it's one of the very few skills I've acquired. LOL So, thanks for introducing me to this new book. I'm looking forward to checking out the author's recipes.

LOL! I am with you! One taste of my creation and I'm sure to be banished from the kitchen. :)
DeleteA disaster in the kitchen as you know, my sister who not only can cook but has a slow cooker would however love this book.
ReplyDeleteOh she may really like this one!
DeleteI am so not a fan of cooking but the slow cooker...now that's easy. And perfect for one!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could do the slow cooker thing. Not a fan of cooking either! :)
DeleteI need this book. I have bought a slow cooker and so far only my husband has made a meal. I need to attempt something and it needs to come out good too.
ReplyDeleteOh sounds like he can cook! Take advantage! ;)
DeleteMy family is trying to do slow cooker meals more often since we're so busy!
ReplyDeleteThis might be perfect for you then!
DeleteI never find any good cook books, I just want simple, good and fast
ReplyDeleteWell, this isn't fast, but would def. be there at the end of the day. :)
DeleteI think this is a perfect fit for those weeks. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm always afraid I would probably not be the one you would want around a pressure cooker... LOL
ReplyDeleteJust looking at those pics is making me hungry beyond words. I cook, but mostly I bake because baking, for some reason, works as anti-depressant for me. Cooking makes me nervous occasionally, but never baking.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with my crock pot, the husband and I are big fans of pulled pork, chicken, beef etc., so we love just being able to drop whatever it is in in the morning and then letting the slow cooker do all the work for us. Looking forward to AimeeKay's thoughts on the recipes:)
ReplyDeleteI love my slow cooker! Especially in the winter :)
ReplyDeleteI've read a few good reviews for this book and I love my slow cooker so I'm sure I'll be buying it soon.
ReplyDeleteI have two slow cookers since I have two teenaged boys. I had to upgrade to a bigger size. And I love mine. But most of the recipes I find seem to be the same version of the same thing. I'm interested in Aimee Kay's review of it.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I'm curious. We are always on the go but everyone wants a home cooked meal. This might be the answer. :)
ReplyDeleteI should not look at books like this when I'm so hungry, it makes want to make EVERYTHING. I heart the slow cooker though. <3
ReplyDeleteit's always nice to have a book like that. I love to cook and it's interesting to discover some new recipes.
