The Crockpot is my friend

In these days of people attempting to cook their way through various cookbooks ala Julie and Julia, I was surprised to discover that I have nearly cooked through a cookbook without even trying.  Over the past few months, we have become great friends with: Betty Crocker's Easy Slow Cooker Dinners and have tried and enjoyed many recipes.  In fact, I reach for this cookbook more than any other up in our cupboard.  Why?  The recipes are crazy-easy.  Seriously, each one requires less than 15 minutes of prep: land a few cans and away you go.  I can put the stuff on the low setting in the morning, check it when I get home from work and when Steve gets home at 7pm...bam, supper.  And Steve actually requests the leftovers for lunch the following day.  I call that success.

Get this cookbook.

Are many of the recipes South Beach Diet-friendly? You KNOW how much I use the crockpot and how much I LOVE Fix-It-And-Forget-It Lightly!

Mom: actually most of the SBD friendly recipes that I bring to potluck are from this book. I've modified quite a few to make them less carb oriented.
