The$7 a meal slow cooker cook book

For a non-cook, this book was well written and easy to understand/follow, plus the recipes are tasty. A great combination.

Great Slow Cooker cookbook!

I have not made it through all of the recipes, however, everyone that I have tried has turned out great! You will not be disapointed. A great investment for saving money feeding your family in a tough economy.

Some Great Recipes

I bought this book with my crock pot and I've had both for about a month now. I am very pleased so far. The ingredients are easy to find and the directions are very clear. My favorite recipes so far are the homemade chili, the fork tender pot roast, and the minestrone soup. I'm going to try and make the soup today!! The book also has some great suggestions on how to save money and on some occasions where a splurge might be worth it. The only thing I wish the book had more of was pictures of the food!! There were also some occasions where it says to use a specific size can of beans or tomatoes etc. that I couldn't find at the store.

GOOD BOOK

I've had to go through the book a few times before I could actually say I was pleased with it. However, I have since earmarked several recipes I want to make and they sound delicious. And in these tough times, who wouldn't want a little help in creating a 7 dollar meal??!!

THIS COOKBOOK SAVES THE DAY . . .

This cookbook comes at the nick of time. With the current state of the economy, saving money on food is more important than ever. Is anyone else out there shocked every time they go to the grocery store?? Some of my family's favorites: - Spicy Peanut Chicken (you can omit the jalapenos for the kiddies) - Chicken Marsala -- yum! - Fork Tender Pot Roast - Texas BBQ Beef Sandwiches - Broccoli Cheese Soup Those of you who use slow cookers know how wonderful it feels to get dinner prepared in the morning, go about your day, and come home to that heavenly smell knowing that your work is 99% done! I highly, highly recommend this cookbook for anyone who wants to get organized, save money and eat well!
