Make It Fast, Cook It Slow Cookbook Giveaway
Well, this is the end of the great cookbook giveaways this month! This will be our third cookbook giveaway this month. I am loving it because I get a copy to review too which means I am coming up with some tremendously yummy things to put on future menus (and into my families mouths)!
This cookbook has been much anticipated by me for the last few months. I started following Stephanie O’Dea’s blog A Year of Slow Cooking last year while on bedrest before the birth of my son. I LOVED it. Who doesn’t love an easy meal in the crockpot? And she has so many recipes on her site with great pictures, instructions and opinions. You really can’t go wrong. In fact, here is a little OAMM secret: when I am stumped for those last 2 or 3 menu items to put on a monthly men, I usually visit Stephanie’s site for some great complimentary dishes.
And this month’s menu even includes Stephanie’s recipe for Cranberry Pork Roast (I might have known the cookbook was coming out in advance. He he). And I was pleasantly surprised that that recipe is also included in the cookbook.
And folks, I have spent several hours pouring over this cookbook. I love, love, love it. The recipes are practical and simple. They are recipes that I would eat. They have great commentary in them from Stephanie and the great thing is you can always go to her blog to view the original, see some pictures, or see what readers had to say (at least for most of the recipes). There are over 300 recipes in this cookbook too so you are definitely getting your money’s worth. Oh, did I mention that the recipes are gluten-free? Yep, that too!
Make It Fast, Cook It Slow: The Big Book of Everyday Slow Cooking
So, of course, this is a giveaway so there is a chance to win this book. But if you ask me, you should just head on over and buy it right away. Then, if you win it, you can give it to that special someone who likes to cook (or doesn’t because the recipes are that easy) on your Christmas list.
Let me just end by saying, one of the greatest things about this author is not her cookbook (which is really good), it is her kind and very personable presence. Any time I have linked to her site she has written a personal comment thanking me. And despite her overwhelming success, she still manages to respond to emails in a timely, and very personal, manner. I had the privilege of meeting her at Blogher and can’t say enough for how nice she is in person as well (and how cute she is pregnant). I think you should buy her book because she is as nice as she is a good cook, which means A LOT in my book!

I love Stephanie!! I’ve followed her blog for about a year now. She’s awesome. My *favorite* dish is a knockoff of Stephanie’s 20 clove garlic chicken- I use the same chicken seasonings, just half the garlic and load up with onions and potatoes. YUM-O.

I have her site bookmarked but admit that I don’t look at it often enough. I would absolutely love to use my slow cooker more. My go to slow cooker meal is just chicken breasts with a jar (small) of salsa. When the chicken is done we usually shred it to use in tacos or with rice. I’ll be trying a roast in the slow cooker for the first time some time soon.
My favorite dish to make in my crockpot is pot roast. It always comes out fall-apart juicy. I also have a simple recipe for Mexican burrito meat that is done in the crockpot. This is also an easy meal.
I subscribe by email.
My favorite slow cooked meal is a roast. I made one just yesterday. Put the chuck roast in, a packet of dry onion soup, one whole onion, a can of beef broth, fill the can up with water twice and pour that in, then some Worchester sauce. My house smells so good when I get home from work!
I left a comment on your Shop Away Post just now. Super ideas.
bbq beef tri trip or pot roast!
My favorite thing to cook in the crock pot is roast, with lots of veggies! I would love this cookbook!
My favorite thing to make in my slow cooker lately is Homemade Yogurt. It is so much creamier than store-bought yogurt and I can flavor it up with any fruits or jams that I want. Here’s how to do it:

I follow Stephanie’s blog, and I am VERY excited about her upcoming book! My favourite thing to make in my slow cooker, is something we call “Yummy Chicken”. Chicken pieces cooked in a sweet tomato-onion sauce, and served on top of egg noodles. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!
My favorite dish to make in my slow cooker is crock pot lasagna. Comes out fresh, not dry and oh so delicious!

I love making pulled pork in the crock pot!
My favorite slow cooker dish is just to simply put a whole chicken in there with some carrots, potatoes, and green beans and let it smell nice in my kitchen all day. Then when it’s time to eat the meat just falls right off the bone and I have some homemade chicken broth left over!
My fav crock pot item is pork roast with red potatoes and carrots.

I love to make a recipe called Taco Junk, which is ground beef and lots of taco-y things. It is a staple around here.
But from my first OAMM experienced I learned I can cook a ton of chicken in the crockpot, which caused me to shout “Will wonders never cease” because I have spent hours of my life cubing and browning chicken for recipes.

Would love to learn more quick and simple recipes
I have so many favorite things I like to do in the crockpot. One of them would be to use a pork loin to make pulled bbq pork sandwiches. SO easy. Just add pork loin & enough water to cover the bottom. If I have any dry bbq rub I add that. Cook until it’s falling apart then add your favorite bbq sauce. It’s that easy. Thanks for the chance to win.
I just posted it on FB.

I love making Creamy Italian Chicken in my slow cooker to put over linguine.
I love her website and am SO excited for her cookbook!
I love using my slow cooker for soups, stews, and chilis — YUM!
I commented on your Think Ahead Thursday post!
My favorite thing to make on the slow cooker is either beef/vegetable stew, or chicken/turkey stock since I don’t have to stir or watch it.
My fave crockpot meal is creamy italian chicken and I believe that I first saw it on Stephanie’s blog.
One of the simplest and best recipes I make in the slow cooker is to just put a whole chicken in the slow cooker and pour a bottle of BBQ sauce over it. Cook on low for several hours, or until the meat begins to fall off the bones. It comes out yummy and tender. I sometimes shred the meat and serve on buns, or over noodles, or just serve the meat as is.
I don’t have a favorite crock-pot dish because I haven’t tried it…this would give me the inspiration needed to get going!
I subscribe to OAMM on Google Reader and I love it, too! Also, my favorite dish is shredded beef in the crockpot.
I just subscribed to the email feed.
My favorite thing to make is creamy chicken noodle soup, chilli and pot roast.
I also use the crockpot to make vegetable soup
I take it all back.
My absolute favorite is making red beans and rice in the crock pot with a leftover hambone.
Probably my latest fav. is skinless chicken thighs/breasts/etc, sprinkled with S&P and Garlic Powder, then drizzled with BBQ sauce. MMMM-mmmm-MMMM!!!
And I very much subscribe to OAMM
