Cook Book Review: Fix It And Forget It Lightly
Fix It And Forget It Lightly by Phyllis Pellman Good is one of my absolute favorite crock pot cookbooks. It is loaded with simple recipes that are not only tasty but good for you as well. It is categorized into sections such as "Chicken Main Dishes", "Beef Main Dishes", "Vegetables", and "Desserts". This cookbook is great because it tells you the ideal size cooker for each recipe as well as offering tips and hints throughout the book. A must have for any crock pot enthusiast.

Product Review: McCormick Slow Cookers Hearty Beef Stew
I usually make my beef stew in the crock pot like this, but tonight we tried the McCormick Slow Cookers Hearty Beef Stew. Although this product was very flavorful, I found it much too spicy for my kids. It actually reminded me of Peppered Beef Jerkey. If you like it spicy give it a try, but if you are feeding your whole family you might want to pass this one up.
