The Magical Slow Cooker

The Magical Slow Cooker

I am so excited – recently I had the opportunity to review a colleague’s cookbook! And I knew it would resonate with you because earlier this year, I took a poll asking what type of recipes you would enjoy seeing and the answers were;

• 30 Minutes Meals
• Slow Cooker Meals
• Healthy Recipes  

Then a month later the opportunity arose to review a recipe book. The name of it is The Magical Slow Cooker, what great timing!

The Magical Slow Cooker

I received the book a couple of weeks ago and I’ve read thru the entire book (yes….I’m one of those strange people that actually read a recipe book…) and I’ve had the opportunity to make a few of the recipes and though I haven’t made them all, I’d tell you, I highly recommend this recipe book!

The recipe I’d like to share with you today is Sarah’s recipe for Sour Cream Beef Stroganoff

Beef Stroganoff

There was plenty here for 6+ servings, just depending on how large the servings were. We feasted on this for two days and on day three I added all the leftovers, beef stroganoff and the rice to a sauce pan along with a couple cups of beef stock and made (you guessed it!) a delicious beef stroganoff soup! I always love a meal that can be transformed!

Ok….back to the book. If this is something you are interested in the book contains ideas for breakfast & brunch, side dishes, party food, chilies, soups & stews, main dishes and even desserts! Sarah did a great job of including a recipe for many occasions. Interested? You can find it on Amazon by clicking this link The Magical Slow Cooker it is $15.89.

Full disclosure, yes I received a copy of the book, but regardless I would recommend this book to my family & friends. Great AND easy recipes without a bunch of complicated ingredients? Gotta love that! Give this recipe a try and let me know what YOU think!

p.s. I thought of one thing I wanted to add after I published this blog….the pictures are GREAT and the printing quite large which makes reading/cooking so much easier!
