Product Description
Slow cookers are convenient and save time. And Busy People's Slow Cooker Cookbook makes even the preparation quick and easy. Each of the more than 200 recipes in this book is made with seven or fewer easy-to-find, grocery store ingredients. Most can be prepared in less than ten minutes. The preparation can even be done the night before and the entire slow cooker placed in the refrigerator until morning. But convenience is not the only reason to use Busy People's Slow Cooker Cookbook. From exquisite cakes with warm berries oozing down the sides to hearty soups, creamy chowders, and delicious entrees complete with side dishes prepared in the same pot, Busy People's Slow Cooker Cookbook is a creative collection of low-fat recipes that look and taste as if you have been working all day in the kitchen. Each recipe in Busy People's Slow Cooker Cookbook is complete with nutritional information, preparation time, and cooking time, along with helpful hints and money-saving ideas. It is bound in an easy-to-use hardcover concealed spiral binding.

Excellent Reducing Diet
Rating  (1)
Date: 2010-01-07
This would be excellent for those on a reducing diet because of the inedible messes it serves up, which reminded me of my mother's best efforts before the advent of slow cookers, and all of us were certainly thin. If the recipes in this cookbook don't put you off slow cooker cooking for sometime to come, you're a hardier soul than my husband and I. The author without fail recommends canned meat products, on the BOTTOM of the slow cooker, a variety of canned items on top, and cooking the whole business to death for hours. Literally, a recipe for disaster and failed nutrition. We thought there was something wrong with us and that slow cooker cooking was always this bad, wondered how anybody could stand it. Then after a hiatus of several years, we came across some truly wonderful slow cooker recipes from other sources. TWO THUMBS DOWN.

I was given this cookbook as a gift. I had always thought slow cookers were only used for soups and stews. This book showed me that I could use the slow cooker for so much more! I have three picky-eaters and a full-time job, and the recipes are easy, inexpensive, and delicious! My children will actually eat this food! Our favorite recipes include barbeque chicken, turkey and dressing, Mexican Goulash, and cherry upside down cake. I highly recommend this cookbook and have already bought copies for my friends and family.

Wow! I just received this cookbook (Dawn Hall's Slow Cooker cookbook) about a month ago. I have made at least 20 recipes already! I have NEVER used so many recipes from one book before in my life. We can't wait for meal time around here to see what's next. We used to eat out all the time. It was really breaking our budget. Now, we are thrilled to stay put and eat at home. Also, the author's story in the front of the book is so inspirational. I can't wait to purchase this book for Christmas presents for all my family and friends. I especially love the desserts, meatloaf recipe, and the pickle juice chicken!! Awesome book!!! Thanks to author, Dawn Hall, for her wonderful book and inspirational story. God Bless!!

Teach how /what to cook in a slow cooker.
Rating  (4)

I teach nutrition classes. This cookbook has a variety of recipes and techniques. I hadn't ever "baked" a cake in my slow cooker before...the Black Forest Upside-Down Cake is really good! There are several other recipes that I've tried & then had classes try. My biggest concern is with the amount of sodium. Some of the products used "by name brands" are not found in our area. I haven't had any problems with substituting those products. I'm sending one of these books to a Granddaughter and will use the others as incentive gifts for my cooking classes.

The Slow Cooker Cookbook is full of excellent recipes that are delicious and easy to make. Dawn's extra tips are personal and handy in the kitchen preparation and clean-up. I am never at a loss for what to make my family when I use her cookbooks. I love the dietary information at the bottom of each recipe--this is invaluable for people counting calories (or points on Weight Watchers).
