365 Easy Slow Cooker Suppers

The queen of slow cooking gives us Beer-Braised Brown Sugar Brisket with Bacon; Cajun Shrimp Chowder; Artichoke Chicken Lasagna; and Thai Peanut Butter Pork Roast. Throw the ingredients in a slow-cooker in the morning, and return hours later to a house full of comforting aromas. Honestly, it's like having staff! 

We're so impressed with blogger Stephanie O'Dea's line-up of recipes, which are also adapted for those who have gluten issues. And don't miss her Citrus Chicken because the butternut squash melts into the sauce, thickening and flavoring it beautifully. Vegetarians, there's a big section for you. Seriously, 365 Slow Cooker Suppers has something for everyone. You just have to love delicious, easy meals.

We'll send this book, 365 Slow Cooker Suppers, to your door, as a thank you for supporting WNPR. Pledge online.
