A few months ago, I was asked to participate in a slow cooker cookbook project. I’m pleased to announce that the cookbook is ready for purchase, and it’s full of great recipes and beautiful photos. Called Where Slow Food and Whole Food Meet, this cookbook was created with busy families without a lot of resources in mind.

Where Slow Food and Whole Food Meet

The book release coincides with Hunger Action Month, a nationwide campaign mobilizing the public to take action on the issue of hunger. All proceeds from the sale of this book go toward the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, which will be able to provide more meals for needy families. You can buy the book on Amazon right here.

In addition, Feeding America food banks from across the country are giving the ebook version as a free gift to their donors. If you make a donation you will be given the ebook as a free gift! How great is that? Donate right now and get your free ebook by clicking here.

Some great sponsors have decided to help out as well! San Miguel Produce, Grimmway Farms, and Old Oak Farms by RPE Produce  are making some big contributions to help end hunger.

  4. Congrats on the book. What a great project! My favorite thing to make in a slow cooker is chicken adobo. The sweet and salty pulled chicken is great all week over rice, salad, or noodles.

  5. I use my (ancient) slowcooker for a lot of things – reducing tomatoes down to paste for canning, pot roast, beans, and lots of soups. I do my prep the night before, throw stuff in it in the morning, then come home to a lovely smelling house and a yummy dinner.

  11. Vegetarian chili. Or applesauce. And in the summer, I sometimes make no-knead bread in the slow-cooker. The crust isn’t as nice as from the oven, but it’s a passable loaf without having to heat up the kitchen with the oven.

  13. Love, love, love to make turkey chili in my slow cooker. I make a huge batch and freeze some of it to have on hand for an easy go-to meal!

  16. My favorite slow cooker recipe has also been the classic pot roast with carrots and potatoes. I also like Sloppy Joes and BBQ meatballs. I love the idea of this cookbook and learning healthier options. Thanks!

  17. My favorite slow cooker recipe is breakfast casserole. I get about three slow cookers going with different variations for Christmas morning….we have gluten-free members in my family and of course we have some that don’t like mushrooms, green peppers, etc., so everybody gets catered to and we love it!

  18. My favorite thing to cook in the crockpot is a whole chicken patted with butter and topped with dry itialian salad dressing seasoning. You don’t use any water and after 8 hours on low you have a fall off the bone amazing bird. Then I take all the bones and add water and cook it overnight for stock. It’s the easiest and best way to cook a whole chicken.

  19. I love my mom’s “chicken stuff”. It was made with cream of chicken soup, a whole chicken, dried basil and a little sour cream and pimentos at the end, all served over egg noodles. We were pretty poor when I was growing up, and this was an economical dish to make – except for the sour cream! My mom taught me with this dish, that you can always introduce a little luxury into your life, even if in very small amounts!

  20. My favorite crock pot recipe = homemade vegetable beef stew, although most any comfort food made in a crockpot is okay by me 😉

  21. My favorite thing to make in the slow cooker is North Carolina Pulled Pork, I make it a whole lot through out the hot and sticky NYC summer. When it gets to the cooler months I start making it for tailgating, birthdays, family get togethers and any time I need to bring something to a potluck supper.

  31. I love to make tortilla soup as I can stretch one chicken breast to feed my hubby and I, and share a bowl with an elderly widowed neighbor who can’t cook for himself. Thank you for helping we central Florida seniors; we do appreciate all your efforts!

  32. My favorite slow cooker recipe is simple: chicken, some of my homemade salsa, a bit more onion and garlic, – great chicken tacos! We feast on them and then snack on them all week long.

  44. While I’ve had a slow cooker for a long time, I’m not very experienced with it. I don’t think I’ve made the same recipe twice, because I’m still searching for my favorite. I do enjoy making pot roast in it.
