Grab Healthy: Slow Cooker Recipes Penned By Judith Finlayson Contained In Manuscript
from library. Added a few recipes to my files, but did not like enough to buy a copy, Interesting, lots of different combinations I never thought of, Prunes in your cockaleekie soup inspired, gotta try that one for sure! Best cook book for a slow cooker, so many tasty meals, easy and delicious, . . and as the name implies, very healthy None of the recipes appealed to me, Good recipes amp good nutritional facts, I had to return to the library before I dive any deeper, I'll prolly check it out again to try more, Nice layout. I wish the pics looks better, Every single recipe calls for a ton of ingredients, uncommon ones also, precooking, and then some, It is like they just needed to fill up space to make a book, Hey genius! When we want to use the slow cook, we want to toss some stuff in and come home to a meal! This just misses that point.
I have recipes that are easy, quick, and delicious, These are not quick or easy, They may be delicious but i'd never know, I'm not a house husband! Oddly, I thought I'd find more recipes that were appealing, There were actually only a handful that I would consider making the rest just weren't to my taste, However, the nutritional information included with each recipe was great, as were the accompanying tips, Two bean soup with pistou, made with celery and cumin instead of fennel, . . french basil chicken and chicken cassoulet, False Okay look I may not be a child, . . but like MORE PICTURES! I just can't get behind a cookbook that isn't filled with glorious pictures, The Healthy Slow Cooker contains overhealthy recipes that can be made using a crock pot, These recipes include main meal dishes for every meal as well as deserts, Each recipe is complete with full instructions, tips, make ahead ideas, and nutritional information, There is even a chart at the back of the book detailing the American and Canadian Diabetes Association Values of each dish.
Like many people, there are days when I just can't face making a meal after a long hard day, At that point, nutrition pretty much goes out the window and fast food becomes an option, I like the slow cook alternative, particular those delicious, quick to prepare recipes that I can throw in the cooker at the start of the day and have ready for supper.
That these meals are actually nutritious is an added bonus, Any recipe that actually reduces chaos and that my family actually likes to eat gets high marks from me, Great slowcooker cookbook. All the recipes have nutritional information, and there's a decent mix of vegetarian/vegan and omnivorous recipes, I've browsed through some of Finlayson's other slowcooker cookbooks in the bookstore, and I think some of these recipes are similar if not the same to some in her other cookbooks The Best Diabetes Slow Cooker Cookbook, in particular.
Unless you have her entire collection, however, there'll be plenty of new recipes to try,
Most of the recipes involve a certain amount of chopping and sauteeing before throwing everything into the slow cooker, which makes for a much nicer tasting meal.
I tend to do the prepwork the night
before, and then throw everything into the slowcooker the following morning, before I leave for work.
I've tried several of the recipes with success, and they were just as good as leftovers the following day, Yum! Tons of information almost too much to take in and use, I wanted healthy meals but made from items that my family would eat, This was outside my families palate, can't wait to try some of these recipes, but just as valuable are all the tips and nutritional information sidebars Contains overrecipes that are healthy and contain key nutritional, health, and wellness information.
Besides a nutritional analysis, each recipe features: an icon denoting veganfriendly recipes 'Mindful morsels', which highlight particular nutritional elements 'Natural Wonders', which provide an overview of the healthful benefits.
