MY REVIEW
Cheryl Moeller has assembled a fantastic collection of recipes in Creative Slow-Cooker Meals.
Whether you are looking for something creative to serve for breakfast, want to provide a satisfying meal to your family after a busy day, or want something extra special waiting for when the company comes over after church, this book has it all! I also think that readers will appreciate the special sections at the end of the book containing the dairy free recipes and the gluten-free cuisine. The author's personal touch in her comments scattered throughout the book add to the homey and welcoming feel to the book, and I especially loved her great-grandmother's Swedish meatball recipee! A couple of things keep this book from getting a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. First, although I don't feel every recipe needs to be accompanied by a picture, I think it would have added to the book to have at least a picture included for each section of the book to liven it up. Secondly, while I found the index at the back very handy, I was disappointed to find that a couple of the references were wrong (for example, the index says the "spiced rice" recipe is on page 79, but it is actually on page 77). Beyond these minor details, I found this to be an excellent treasure trove of useful recipes and give it a solid recommendation of 4 out of 5 stars.
