AND NOW...THE FIFTH CHAPTER (click on pages to enlarge):
Here is my review of this fascinating cookbook:
First of all, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Cheryl Moeller and her publisher for sending me a copy of "Creative Slow-Cooker Meals" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me.
Cheryl Moeller’s cookbook “Creative Slow-Cooker Meals” is a welcome addition to my kitchen library. She suggests using two slow cookers to prepare your meals. I love this technique! Each pot can taste a bit different. Unlike when you cook everything in the same pot! Our first adventure was Buttermilk Chicken and Wisconsin Cranberry Stuffing. Both dishes were very tasty, although I didn’t like the consistency of the stuffing. I will have to play around with the recipe to perfect it.
The swedish meatballs with gravy and savory mashed potatoes were amazing, too!
This book is filled with good cooking tips and scripture verses that cleverly resembled the sections of the cookbook in which they appear. It has a convenient spiral binding so it can lay flat on the counter or on a book holder. The slick pages wipe clean from food spills. There is a wide variety of recipes including breakfast, ethnic recipes, party recipes, vegan foods, dairy-free meals and gluten-free dishes. My family and I have perused the book and can’t wait to try the grapefruit chicken, mile-high chicken stacks and baked brie with candied walnuts and cherries. Yum!
