Put your food inside, cover the pot, turn the switch to “on” and come home after hours of errands, soccer games, meetings, work or play and dinner is ready! Meals are simple, convenient and much better than any fast-food, drive-through-window meal. Easy Slow Cooker Cookbook provides recipes for beef, chicken, seafood, vegetables, soups and casseroles that are great as 1-DISH MEALS or accompaniments with a main dish. These recipes are family tested and used everyday by moms, dads, seniors, teens and college students. They are packed with nutritious ingredients, economical, wholesome and practical. The recipes are easy, simple and everyday cooking that everybody loves. They are ones families grow up on and ones we remember long after adulthood. They are recipes that give you a warm and fuzzy feeling and let you know someone cares about you. These recipes should never be taken for granted, passed by because they are too simple or too “normal”. They are the recipes that strengthen our families and bring us the happiness and satisfaction of being together for a homecooked meal.
