Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hi Cheryl ~ I don't have that one but I do have Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker by Robin Robertson. We've made 4 things out of it so far and have liked them all. There has been minimal prep such as softening onions & peppers before putting them in, but that's about it. Cindi Mermaidude <appytails wrote: Does anyone have a cookbook called Fix-It and Forget-It Lightly: Healthy, Low-Fat Recipes for Your Slow Cooker? I've searched around on the Internet trying to find a table of contents with no luck. I'm sure you all know the story. Every crock pot cookbook out there has 90% recipes featuring meat and as such is usually a pass on the shopping list. I bought 125 Best Slow Cooker Vegetarian Recipes and its OK but the recipes are more work than what I want to deal with when cooking with a crock pot. You know, cooking half the recipes first on the stovetop or mixing ingredients in a blender, or otherwise spending a lot of time preparing what goes in the crock pot. I made the vegetarian lasagne which took me the better part of the morning to prepare including running around to 3 different grocery stores to find all the ingredients, and when all was said and done I'd invested about $30, a bit more than I wanted for lasagne. Basically I want to find recipes that I can toss in the crock pot with little fuss and preparation. If anyone has Fix-It and Forget-It Lightly : Healthy, Low- Fat Recipes for Your Slow Cooker and can give a review whether or not its worth it to buy, please post a response. Thanks so much! Cheryl .

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I concur. I have both these vegetarian slow cooker books and much prefer " Fresh From... " The " 125 Best... " does indeed have more preparation, while " Fresh From... " only asks you to soften onion/peppers, as you say. And I don't even do that! The Sloppy Lentils recipe is a winner. -Erin www.zenpawn.com/vegblog , Cindi <cindi93069 wrote: > > Hi Cheryl ~ > I don't have that one but I do have Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker by Robin Robertson.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hi Erin ~ We haven't tried the Sloppy Lentils but will check it out now! We really like the Almost Irish Stew and on Sunday we made the Spanish Rice & Beans for the 2nd time and they're mighty tasty too. Cindi Erin <truepatriot wrote: I concur.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Thank you Cindi and the others who responded. I checked Amazon for reviews and a lot of recipes call for trivets. What's that!? Anyway I checked my local bookstore's website and they have it in stock so I'm going to check it out when I'm down there this weekend. It looks good, except for that trivet thing.
