FIX-IT and FORGET-IT LIGHTLY : Healthy, Low-Fat Recipes for Your Slow Cooker

I am always eager to try new cookbooks, particularly ones that have simple and easy to follow recipes. This cookbook fits the bill perfectly. The recipes are collected from cooks all over and are for use with a crockpot/slow cooker. I have tried about a dozen different recipes so far and have only found one that I didn't care for.

As a rule, there are usually 2 or 3 variations for any given type of recipe, so if one doesn't have exactly the ingredients that would be hit with your palate then there are others with slight changes that may be more appealing.

The best feature for me is that each recipe has the nuitritional information, which allows for easy counting of calories, etc. when you are on a weight loss program.

I have both the "Fix It and Forget It Lightly" and the original "Fix It and Forget It" books and wouldn't give them up for anything. They are definitely worth the investment for any serious cook.

I also bought the forget it entertaining book. These both are the best slow cooker recipe books I've ever bought. I am not one for soups or soupy dinner often. This book saved my dinners. With 3 young kids and a business to run, my time is valuable. These dinners are fabulous, easy and practicle. Most ingredients are in most kitchens and soups are a very small part of the whole book. This is a must have for every family!

This is a great cookbook with easy recipes. Good for Weight Watchers.

I bought this cookbook through a book club and I am so glad I did. I have hundreds of cookbooks primarily focusing on low fat recipes. However, I am a very busy person (as most people are nowadays) and I don't have time to spend in a kitchen (not that I would want to) so most of the cookbooks I've bought in the past are sitting in my cupboards collecting dust...except this one. I started using it in March 2007 and if you can believe this, between using this cookbook and getting back into a moderate exercise routine, I have lost almost 12 lbs and I wasn't even trying to lose weight but you can't help doing so with this cookbook. The recipes are easy, fast, and very delicious. Combine all this with the nutritional facts provided at the end of each recipe and you can't go wrong. I have never been a fan of a crockpot but now I am. I've also highly recommended this cookbook to all my coworkers, friends, and family.

I have been stuck in a rut with crock pot recipes, this cookbook has given my meals new life! My family thanks you!
