SHORT BOOK DESCRIPTION:



From the celebrated coauthor of The Marriage Miracle comes a new kind of cookbook and a new attitude toward planning meals. With an eye toward the whole menu, not just part of it, columnist Cheryl Moeller teaches cooks to use two crockpots to easily create healthy, homemade dinners.

Don’t worry about your dinner being reduced to a mushy stew. Each of the more than 200 recipes has been taste-tested at Cheryl’s table. Join the Moeller family as you dig into:


  • Harvest-time Halibut Chowder
  • Salmon and Gingered Carrots
  • Mediterranean Rice Pilaf
  • Indian Chicken Curry
  • Apricot-Pistachio Bread
  • Shrimp Creole
  • Rhubarb Crisp
... and many more! Perfect for the frazzled mom who never has enough time in the day, Creative Slow-Cooker Meals gives readers more time around the table with delicious, healthy, frugal, and easy meals!

MY THOUGHTS AND REVIEW:
Even though I only have one crockpot, I still really appreciate this wonderful cookbook. There are 10 chapters which cover breakfasts, parties, multi-cultural recipes, vegetarian and vegan recipes, gluten-free recipes, dairy-free recipes, simple meals, and lots more. Over 250 delicious recipes altogether! I tried out Heavenly Hash Browns from page 31. Oh...it was a big hit! So yummy and so easy to make! I can't wait to try more recipes out. They all sound so good. If you're looking for recipes for your slow-cooker(s), check this creative cookbook out.
