I love my CrockPot. I don’t think that’s too strong of a statement for an item that will let me give it all my ingredients and will then make dinner for me.
A few years ago, my friend Liz turned me onto this fantastic website, A Year Of Slow Cooking. Stephanie O’Dea had committed to making one new CrockPot dish per day and share the recipes and results through her site. And did she ever! Some of my family’s favorite meals come from her. I make the Mango Chicken, Indian Spinach and Tofu, Brown Sugar Chicken, and Taco Soup on a regular basis. I’m also pretty sure that my husband would consider leaving me if I didn’t continue to make him the Lentil Soup. It’s his favorite meal on earth.
Stephanie still sends out recipes through her site, but she has also gone on to broaden her horizons. In 2009, her first book Make It Fast, Cook It Slow: The Big Book of Everyday Slow Cooking was released. I bought it right away (it contains some of the recipes above!) and also gave it to a few family members as holiday gifts.
Now she’s come out with her second book! More Make It Fast, Cook It Slow: 200 Brand-New, Budget-Friendly, Slow-Cooker Recipes contains wonderful recipes for dishes like Baked Herbed Feta, Smoky Bean and Corn Soup, Orange and Honey Tilapia, and Apple-Pecan Bread Pudding. I can’t wait to try these, as I’m sure they’re delicious.
As an added bonus, one lucky Couponing For 4 reader will win a copy of More Make It Fast, Cook It Slow: 200 Brand-New, Budget-Friendly, Slow-Cooker Recipes!
