Nice variety of recipes and fantastic photos of each. Everything looks so yummy! Now the hard part, which one to make first...

The title of this book is the perfect description. It's a very family friendly slow cooker cookbook that doesn't rely on pre-packaged ingredients. There are a lot of classics in here, like pot roast, and a whole chapter on chili and stew. They generally don't have you pre-cook too much, which is nice in combination with the use of actual food ingredients (instead of canned goods, etc). I found the soups and chili chapters to be the best, and to contain some different recipes.

Overall, this is a good investment if you're new to slow cooking. I already had several of these recipes, but the real ingredient aspect is a nice touch. This would have been 5 stars if they'd included nutrition info.

Made the Sloppy Joe Meatloaf and the House Seasoning. Both very good. Lots of good and fairly simple recipes. Good tidbits of information as well.

Lovely recipes from simple ingredients! The kind of recipes you can swap out ingredients for what you have on hand. All day bean soup recipes use dried beans to save money, a definite keeper for me.
