Tis the Season for Slow Cooked Meals

While reading, it is fun to have dinner cooking. You don't have to do anything more than put the ingredients in the Crockpot and then you are free to catch up on reading or maybe even do some decorating or anything else you want to do besides cook. Penny E. Stone created this book for Entertaining and there are 101 recipes. Each serving costs only seventy-five cents, so it is much cheaper than going out to eat and your home will be filled with delicious home-cooked aromas. Many of the recipes can be started 7 or more hours before guests even arrive. So you don't have to be in a state of stress when people arrive. There is nothing to worry about. You open the Crockpot and a meal is served. There are a few recipes where you add vegetables after four hours or stir after a certain number of hours. Just set your timer and you won't have to worry about the time. Delicious Recipes Include: Lasagna Rolls with Cheese Filling Spiced Corned Beef Glazed in Cranberry-Wine Sauce Chicken Tetrazzini (made with chicken and mushroom soup) Spicy Cheese Dip Baked Rhubarb Pudding Hot Cider Mistletoe Punch This is a sweet and simple book filled with ideas for busy or new cooks. The recipes are all very easy to make. The recipes are designed to serve 6-8 people. If you are planning for more guests, just buy another crockpot. You might want two because then you can make dinner and dessert in crockpots. Even if you don't own a crockpot, there are many recipes you could adapt for the stovetop or oven. The ingredient lists give me lots of ideas for seasoning meats and making quick deserts. Like the creamy fudge sauce just includes melting all the ingredients together and that could even be made in a regular saucepan. Just think of a slow cooked meal, the aroma drifting through the house and Christmas Music. What could be more comforting? Best of all, you can relax when company arrives. ~The Rebecca Review

Crockpot Cooking is for me!

I love crockpot cooking. I can make meals at low cost and little effort. A must buy!

Amazing variety of recipes

"Crazy About Crockpots! 101 Recipes For Entertaining at Less than 75 cents a Serving" is an unusual book in that it contains none of the stews and soups that you expect in a crockpot cookbook (actually you will find them in the companion book "Crazy About Crockpots! 101 Soups and Stews for Less than 75 cents per Serving"). Instead, this book contains a wide variety of unusual recipes for using your crockpot to prepare casseroles, desserts, and even drinks. It has a great recipe for BBQ Beef sandwiches (always a personal favorite meal) as well as really good recipes for Seasoned Chicken and Rice, Lemon-Herb Chicken Breasts, and Sweet and Sour Pork. There are several pages of dips as well as cobblers, puddings and sauces, and even drinks like Apple Cider, Wassail, and punch. If you never really knew what to do with that crockpot sitting around the house other than to heat up soup this is the place to find out what you can do. The results are delicious and the book deserves a recommended read designation.
