4.0 out of 5 stars What to Expect from this Cookbook March 26, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really love my slow-cooker and I really wish there were more free resources for recipes I can make online. I have looked throughout the internet and have been inspired by some ideas to create my own recipes. This cookbook is also a good reference for some recipes you can make. I really like that it was free and that I was able to even find some dessert items in here. Frankly, I didn't know what to expect when adding this to my kindle app; which is why I will list out the items in this cookbook for you to have some idea of the recipes you will be receiving:

1. Easy Chili Rellenos
2. Easy Clam Chowder
3. Famous Broccoli Casserole
4. Gramas Minestrone Soup
5. Jo Anns Country Corn Pudding
6. Madges Beefy Chili
7. Mom's Green Beans & Bacon
8. Mulled Cider
9. Onion-Topped Potato Casserole
10. Peachy Dump Cake
11. Roast for Tacos
12. Savory Pot Roast
13. Slow-Cooked Applesauce
14. Slow-Cooker Italian Chops
15. Slow-Cooker Lasagna
16. Slow-Cooker Potato Soup
17. Triple Chocolate Cake
18. Vickie's Shredded Chicken Sandwiches
19. Zesty Italian Beef Sandwiches
20. 4-Ingredient Chicken Chili
21. Calico Baked Beans
22. Championship Cheese Dip
23. Chicken Corn Chowder
24. Chicken & Dumplings
25. Chicken & Noodle Delight Easy

Also, note that most of these recipes call for "cream of" soups and other canned and processed products. It is aimed at convenience of cooking (and taste) and not at health. Also, on the kindle app, you'll find that there are no pictures of the actual prepared meals, which is unfortunate, because that is one of my favorite things about a cookbook. Instead, it contains that same picture of a slow-cooker above every recipe. Meh. But overall, if you are interested in some easy ways to make some of these recipes listed above, add it to your kindle- its FREE. woohoo. :-)

4.0 out of 5 stars Love Gooseberry Patch! March 3, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I'm a fairly recent comer to Gooseberry Patch. I find that I truly love their down home style of cooking. While some recipes rely on prepackaged items such as onion soup mix or canned soup, many of those items now come in low-fat and low sodium versions making it easier to make healthier versions of some of the recipes. It's not hard to add extra veggies to a recipe, either, so I don't see what the fuss is about.

All it takes is a little thought and very little effort to make a recipe healthier. If something isn't your "style" of cooking why give it a low rated review. just move on to something that does work for you. My best suggestion for you is to use the lower fat canned soups and processed cheeses and look for lower sodium versions of mixes and broths. They're out there. The best bit of added advice is to use crockpot liners. You can usually find them at your local supermarket or places like Walmart in boxes of 10 for under $2. Makes clean up a breeze to go with the convenience of slow cooker cooking! They can be hard to find so if you do much crockpotting it's worth it to stock up and buy a few boxes when you do find them.

Enjoy the cookbook for what it is - a gift to us from Gooseberry Patch. After all, it only cost you a few seconds of your time to download it for free. So thank you, Gooseberry Patch, for yet another delightful 25 recipe freebie. I, for one, truly appreciate your generosity.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad as others say March 1, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Easy to make recipes my picky husband might actually like. One can always use real cheddar instead of the cheese they describe as processed cheese food which most of us know by a name starting with a V. Get low sodium soups if that is an issue. As with any recipe view them as a guide line add more veggies if you want. I think it is time to pull out my crock pot again and give this a go! Gonna try the shredded beef for tacos first.
