Easy Cheesy Chili Chicken from Eating Stella Style: Low-Carb Recipes for Healthy Living

My husband enjoyed this a lot. It was easy enough for a weeknight, but I will have to tweak the seasonings some, as it was just a bit too salty for my tastes. read more >

Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook

By Beth Hensperger
Harvard Common Press - 2004

August 7th, 2011 (edited 26th March 2012)

I got a slow cooker after my son was born but I didn't really know what to do with it. This cookbook has shown me that a slow cooker is good for cooking a lot more than just soup, stew and meatballs. I now use mine to make stock, tomato sauce and beans. While not every recipe I've tried has been successful, this cookbook has helped me learn how to use my slow cooker in more ways than I thought possible and improvise recipes for it.
