❀ Inspiring Ideas
I don’t use my crock pot often, but after reading this recipe book, I am inspired to try using it more often. With a little prep earlier in the day, it is definitely a great way to enjoy a healthy meal after a busy day. I really enjoyed all of the ideas that are included in the book about choosing the right size of crock pot. I never considered that some recipes are better suited to a smaller appliance. Also, each recipe includes a method to make the recipe for vegetarians and picky eaters. I love this because I often see a recipe that looks perfect only to discover that there is an ingredient that doesn’t fit with my tastes.
Butternut Squash Soup with Apple and Red Onions
❀ A good variety
I have only tried the Butternut Squash Soup recipe so far and it was super easy and really tasty. I have also bookmarked quite a few others to try. The variety of things that you can pop into a crock pot is actually mind blowing. There is also a recipe to create brownies in a slow-cooker and I am really curious to find out if this actually works!
❀ Versatile and Practical
.Stock the Crock by Phyllis Good is a cookbook that I highly recommend to anyone interested in learning how to make the best use of a slow-cooker. If you are looking for a way to enjoy homemade meals and don’t have the time to spend preparing them, this cookbook has some great ideas to get you started. I am going to be ordering a copy of this one for my own kitchen, as it is so versatile and practical.

I’m not going to have any more room in my kitchen for cookbooks if you keep posting reviews about awesome food! Especially crocking, because it is a fave of mine in the winter!
Bahahaha! It is something that I really need to do more of and I do hope that I am prepared enough to keep mine running all season. 🙂
Brownies made in a crockpot? That’s a new one for me.
Right?! I love it when I find a recipe that is so different from something that I have tried before. 🙂
I keep looking for cookbooks for the slow cooker, and I love to make soups using it. This is one I’d like to have!
Soups & stews are my kind of comfort food!
