I love my crockpot and am always looking for new cookbooks. This isn't a good one. I have never seen so many recipes calling for frozen/canned vegetables, Velveeta and cans and cans of soup. Several recipes call for three cans of cream of whatever soup. Not healthy; not imaginative. Thankfully, I checked it out of the library. I won't be cooking one recipe from it before it's returned.;

While reading, it is fun to have dinner cooking. You don't have to do anything more than put the ingredients in the Crockpot and then you are free to catch up on reading or maybe even do some decorating or anything else you want to do besides cook.
Penny E. Stone created this book for Entertaining and there are 101 recipes. Each serving costs only seventy-five cents, so it is much cheaper than going out to eat and your home will be filled with delicious home-cooked aromas.
Many of the recipes can be started 7 or more hours before guests even arrive. So you don't have to be in a state of stress when people arrive. There is nothing to worry about. You open the Crockpot and a meal is served. There are a few recipes where you add vegetables after four hours or stir after a certain number of hours. Just set your timer and you won't have to worry about the time.
Delicious Recipes Include:
Lasagna Rolls with Cheese Filling
Spiced Corned Beef Glazed in Cranberry-Wine Sauce
Chicken Tetrazzini (made with chicken and mushroom soup)
Spicy Cheese Dip
Baked Rhubarb Pudding
Hot Cider
Mistletoe Punch
This is a sweet and simple book filled with ideas for busy or new cooks. The recipes are all very easy to make. The recipes are designed to serve 6-8 people. If you are planning for more guests, just buy another crockpot. You might want two because then you can make dinner and dessert in crockpots.
Even if you don't own a crockpot, there are many recipes you could adapt for the stovetop or oven. The ingredient lists give me lots of ideas for seasoning meats and making quick deserts. Like the creamy fudge sauce just includes melting all the ingredients together and that could even be made in a regular saucepan.
Just think of a slow cooked meal, the aroma drifting through the house and Christmas Music. What could be more comforting? Best of all, you can relax when company arrives.
