Back-to-School Slow Cooker Recipes - Free Your Family From the Kitchen!

Does a slow cooker make it quick and easy to put hot meals on the table every night? Or does it too often sacrifice taste for convenience? Even as the popularity of the appliance skyrockets (sales have doubled in the last fifteen years), the question still fiercely divides parents and home cooks. {Book provided for review/feature consideration}

Among the most opinionated is Phyllis Good, the mom behind the national bestselling Fix-It and Forget-It slow cooker recipe books, which have sold over eleven million copies. This back-to-school season, the only thing you’ll need to feed your family is aslow cooker, and her newest book, Fix-It and Forget-It Slow Cooker Magic (August 4, 2015)!

The recipes here are perfect for every season and occasion, and feature more than just the usual soup, stews, and casseroles. Highlights include Thai veggie curry, slow cooker pizza, black bean burritos, chile rellenos casserole, banana chocolate chip bars, cornbread, and expanded vegan offerings.


Ms. Good does not create all of the recipes; rather, recipes are submitted by her legions of fans and tested by a select group of home cooks known as “Team Fix-It”—real women cooking in Chicago, Kansas City, Washington, DC, Indianapolis, Louisville, Brooklyn, and across the country.


“Good cooks love to share their recipes rather than possess them,” Ms. Good says. “Readers feel surrounded by a community when they cook from Fix-It cookbooks. They take comfort in knowing that these recipes come from other people who are also working and feeding their families.”


Known for eschewing expensive ingredients and exotic flavors in favor of truly foolproof recipes, Ms. Good is propelled by the belief that slow cookers make it easy to cultivate quality time with loved ones. She has been featured in the New York Times, USA Today, the Associated Press, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, and many others.
