I am not writing about Creative Slow-Cooker Meals cookbook because the author is a childhood friend.
I also am not writing about Creative Slow-Cooker Meals cookbook because I have stock in the slow cooker companies.
I am writing about Creative Slow-Cooker Meals cookbook because this is just too good not to share!
If any of you know me in the least you know my kitchen and cooking are an integral part of who I am. You can’t be inside my door for more than ten minutes without me trying to feed you something.
Sunday dinners are all about food, family and fun. And with the number we have around the table each Sunday I am always looking for ways to make dinner more enjoyable and less work.
And I have found a winner in both departments with Creative Slow-Cooker Meals cookbook by Cheryl Moeller.
The recipes are easy and use “regular” ingredients and create dishes that everyone loves.
Using two slow cookers is such a great and “why didn’t I think of that” concept. Take a few minutes in the morning to throw your ingredients in, plug it in and come home to aromas that will knock your socks off.
Before I tempt you with a couple of the recipes my family loves, let me introduce you to my friend Cheryl.
Cheryl is mother to six kids, wife, author, speaker and a woman who love God. She also is one of my cheerleaders in my writing life.
Here is a quote:
Creative Slow-Cooker Meals will help you get your family back to the table while freeing you from long hours spent sweating over a hot stove. Using two slow cookers, you'll have a warm entree and side dish on the table without hardly any effort! It's my hope that you'll find some recipes here that will become staples in your home, that your family will be telling stories about for years to come. And I pray that you will find, as I have, that there are few blessings greater than sharing a meal with family.
This was what our family enjoyed this past Sunday.
