We’ve tried a lot of cookbooks this week and tested a heap of recipes, but my personal favorite is Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker: 200 Recipes for Healthy and Hearty One-Pot Meals That Are Ready When You Are
My family wholeheartedly agrees.
I can’t even recount all the recipes we tested from this book (another in the slow cooker as we speak), but I can assure you they were all excellent meals. I work full time from home, so a slow cooker is a nice solution for us many days. Before I stared work in the morning, I was able to throw the ingredients in the cooker, turn it on, and enjoy the smells of “someone else” preparing the evening meal.
What is most impressive in Robin Roberson’s recipes is how filling and substantial they’ve all been. Recipes such as Slow Beans and Bourguignon (pg. 100), Slow and Easy Mushroom and Green Bean Stroganoff (pg. 83), and Vindaloo Vegetables will no doubt earn their places as staples in our home.
If you have reluctant vegetarians in your house, or people who complain of not feeling full after a meal with no meat, this cookbook is a must for you. Go ahead – test the Burguignon. They might not even notice they just ate all their vegetables.
Want to win a copy of Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker? Thought so! ($14.95 retail)

I just learned there are SO MANY cookbooks that I want to have! The Vegetarian Slow Cooker is certainly high on my list as I’m trying to make less meat-centered meals. But now I’ve also added the Wild Vegan Cookbook, The Bread Lovers Bread Machine Cookbook, Salty Sweets, and Crazy for Casseroles.
Thanks for offering the giveaway!

I would like the One-Dish Vegetarian Meals cookbook. With a family on the go I am always looking for easy recipes and one-dish meals seem to be the best for us. I’ve just talked with my husband tonight about doing veggie only meals 2x a week as a way for us to all be healthier.
I LOVE the crock pot, 10 minutes in the morning and supper is done by the time you get home from work. Gets a little boring though so Not Your Mother’s® Slow Cooker Family Favorites is my pick

I love cookbooks and enjoyed looking through their choices. In the Regional American section I’d like to have The Border Cookbook and also Eula Mae’s Cajun Kitchen.
I visited the site and would like A Fistful of Lentils. Never knew their was a Syrian-Jewish type of cookbook but it sure is making me hungry!

I don’t use my crock pot nearly enough. This would make it better.
I’d love to win this. I’d also like the Wild Vegan Cookbook.
I use my crock pot every week.
Hubby and I have talked alot about going vegetarian or even vegan, if it was just he and I, it wouldn’t be a problem but with three teens in the house I can allready see the noses turned up, and hear the YUCK’s! Maybe The Wild Vegan Cookbook would help us out

I’ve been hoping to find a sweepstakes that offers a crock pot cook book. And now I HAVE>!!
OMGosh! Harvard Common Press is like Cookbook heaven and for someone who has just recently started to cook and become obsessed with the beauty that is cookbooks, it’s like a drug… LOL! So many of them caught my eye, especially ‘Little Foods of the Mediterranean’… Thank you!

A Fistful of Lentils sounds like a super cookbook! I love lentils and am always looking for new recipes to cook them. I love the idea of a whole book on them.
like the One-Dish Vegetarian Meals cookbook
This title made me take a second look “The Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes Cookbook”. This could be a good one!
I liked the Wild Vegan Cookbook. I have read a lot about foraging but have never actually done it.

I learned that they offer resources for childbirth and parenting too!
I would also like to try the One-Dish Vegetarian Meals. My husband doesn’t eat vegetarian but I do and I have tons of recipes for him – but not me!
Oh man, that “Salty Sweets” cookbook sounds so good…I love mixing the two so that I meet all my cravings in one go :0)

One-Dish Vegetarian Meals cookbook sounds good
I really like the idea of the Quick and Easy Wholesome Homemade Dinners from the “Not Your Mother’s” series. And while I like to cook healthy, vegetarian (mostly) recipes, I don’t know that I’m daring enough to try their Sake Swordfish.

The Ultimate Rotisserie Cookbook!!! I am all about lip smacking, finger licking, yummy in my tummy rotisserie cookin’. Serve me up please! Oh I can just smell the veggie kabobs now. *sniff*
I’ve been a vegetarian for over 10 years. I think Rotelle with Spicy Pumpkin Sauce sounds delish.

I was interested to see that these are the folks who also published the “Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker” cookbooks. I’ve enjoyed flipping through those at our local library. Thanks for the chance to win!
“Salty Sweets” sounds great!
