Food: "Slow Cookers for Dummies"


Slow Cookers For Dummies

 By Tom Lacalamita, Glenna Vance

On last week's first shuttle trip up to Duluth, I read this entire book on my phone. Sadly, it was only on loan from the public library, and so the file was automatically deleted. Here are some of the recipes I thought would be particularly good for an upcoming housewarming party: 
  • Slow cooker party mix (yes, you can make Chex in the slow cooker. Granola, too!)
  • Sweet 'n' sour meatballs (a Minnesota favorite is in barbecue; this sounds much more palatable)
  • Asian wings
  • Salsa
  • Ruby Red Cider, Mulled Wine, Irish coffee and other hot alcoholic drinks
Other recipes that were illuminating in this book: 
  • Master meat sauce (freeze it and use it in recipes for chili and pasta)
  • Borscht, and other meat soups
  • Master roast turkey breast (again, use in recipes after it's done)
  • Roast pork and roast lamb shanks -- yes, you can dry roast cheap cuts in the Crock Pot. Can't wait to try!
