Eating out has become a past-time for American families everywhere. In fact, we do it way too much. Why is that? Because cooking at home takes time, is not fun for most of us and is inconvenient. Well, it doesn’t have to be that way anymore.
Drew recently stated, “Most of us eat out way too much. Myself included. It’s unhealthy and expensive. I wanted to write a book that would include simple recipes that were delicious, fun to cook, inexpensive to make and are healthy. I believe I accomplished that with this book.”
Cooking with a crock pot is one of the easiest ways to cooks foods. For most recipes all you have to do is simply put the ingredients into the slow cooker and set the temperature on ‘low’. Let it cook for 8 hours – the time you’re usually at work – and then when you get home it’s done. For some recipes you may have to put in an extra ingredient or two and let it cook for an additional 30-minutes or so after you get home. But when you compare that to the expense of eating out it’s a no-brainer. Not to mention the health side of things.
When I got Drew’s book there were three things that I noticed right away. First, it was complete. Second, it had a tremendous list of recipes. Finally, every recipe was easy to cook. Well all but one. That one is called, “New Orleans Style Chicken Noodle Soup”. What it lacks in ease it makes up for in taste!
When I say this book was complete what I mean is that it not only has 53 recipes it also has an introduction section that explains the ins and outs of a crock pot, commonly known as a slow cooker. It also contains a complete list of items to always have in your pantry so you can make a soup recipe any time. I found this very useful.
Next, was the list of 53 recipes. Not all of these are extravagant, over-the-top meals. However, they are all wholesome, tasty dishes you can prepare in no time flat. There are a couple different versions of some of the same recipes. Drew had this to say, “Not everyone likes every meal cooked the same way. That’s why I included some similar dishes but with a few twists in each.”
Finally, I certainly haven’t cooked every recipe Drew has to offer. However, every one that I have cooked has been fabulous. They are all easy-to-prepare, easy-to-cook and they were very inexpensive. Oh yea, and they all tasted great! So, if you are looking for an easy alternative to eating out then Drew’s book may be what you’re looking for.
