Fix It and Forget It Dripped Beef
Fix It and Forget It Lightly
The slow cooker can be a real life saver in the kitchen. It can make getting dinner on the table so easy and effortless, a necessity in these busy times. And it's especially useful this time of year when we tend to crave soups, stews, chilis and other home cooked comfort foods that work so well in it.
If you are looking for easy slow cooker recipes that are also light and healthy, FIX-IT and FORGET-IT LIGHTLY : Healthy, Low-Fat Recipes for Your Slow Cooker, can help. It's another in the country's bestselling crockpot cookbook series by Phyllis Pellman Good, which have sold more than nine million copies.
If you are familiar with the Fix-It and Forget-It series, you know that the books are edited compilations of recipes contributed by home cooks from all around the country that are intended for busy folks who have to cook every day, not those who dabble in cooking more as a hobby or whim.
Which means you won't find fancy gourmet recipes in FIX-IT and FORGET-IT LIGHTLY, but rather a mix of both simple and more interesting recipes designed for everyday. For example, on page 13, there is a recipe for "Slow-Cooker Tex-Mex Chicken" that calls for boneless skinless chicken, taco seasoning mix, flour, red and green bell pepper (cut into strips), frozen corn, chunky salsa and shredded nonfat Mexican style cheese.
Each recipe includes prep and cooking times, ideal cooker size, and information about calories, calories from fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates, fiber, sugar, and vitamins, so those on Weight Watchers have all the nutritional information necessary to calculate PointsPlus values.
