Freezer Meals for the Slow Cooker Sarah Spencer

Publisher Marketing: One afternoon a month is all you need to prepare healthy and nutritious family meals for a whole month! This is the magic of Freezer Meals for the Slow Cooker! Let's face it -- we are all busy. The time when we could plan a full-course meal nightly has become a thing of the past. We rarely have time to sit down and think of meals...let alone make them. It may seem hopeless to have high quality, tasty meals with very little effort. But that is what this book offers you. It takes two simple tools -- a slow cooker and an afternoon for prep work. If you can manage to have both, even one Sunday afternoon a month, you can have a homemade meal every day with little effort. How do we do this? Well, the answer is simple. Slow cooker recipes can be prepped weeks ahead of time in just a few hours and frozen. All you need is one afternoon to cut up the meats and vegetables and store them into freezer bags. Then you can simply freeze the foods so they are ready when you are. The meals presented here are rich in flavor and will please even the pickiest of eaters. To make them, after prepping and freezing, just place them contents of the bag into a slow cooker, turn it on for a few hours, and then come home to a delicious ready-to-eat meal. It takes all the fuss out of cooking, and is budget- and health-friendly. In addition, these recipes will give you more variety than you can ever imagine. Every recipe uses fresh ingredients and the perfect blend of spices. In this book, you will find: Mouth-watering chicken dishes like the delicious teriyaki chicken, Heavenly beef recipes like the Western beef casserole Classic pork dishes such as the Crockpot ribs Lots of healthy vegetarian meals like Bean and Spinach Layered Enchiladas Delectable Soup and Stews like the classic Brunswick Stew or the hot and sour soup So with all these benefits, why not get started and enjoy your freezer to table cooking immediately? Let's get busy! Contributor Bio:  Spencer, Sarah Sarah Spencer lives in Canada with her husband and two children.

She is a passionate cook who dedicates all her time between creating new recipes, writing cookbooks, and her family, though not necessarily in that order! Sarah has had two major influences in her life regarding cooking, her Grandmother and Mama Li. She was introduced to cooking at an early age by her Grandmother who thought cooking for your loved ones was the single most important thing in life. Not only that, but she was the World's Best Cook in the eyes of all those lucky enough to taste her well-kept secret recipes. Over the years, she conveyed her knowledge and appreciation of food to Sarah. Sarah moved to Philadelphia when her father was transferred there when Sarah was a young teenager. She became close friends with a girl named Jade, whose parents owned a Chinese take-out restaurant. This is when Sarah met her second biggest influence, Mama Li. Mama Li was Jade's mother and a professional cook in her own restaurant. Sarah would spend many hours in the restaurant as a helper to Mama Li. Her first job was in the restaurant. Mama Li showed Sarah all about cooking Asian food, knife handling, and mixing just the right amount of spices. Sarah became an excellent Asian cook, especially in Chinese and Thai food. Along the way, Sarah developed her own style in the kitchen. She loves to try new flavors and mix up ingredients in new and innovative ways. She enjoy cooking with her slow cooker and finding ways to make life easier while feeding your loved one with flavorful and healthy meals. She is also very sensitive to her son's allergy to gluten and has been cooking gluten-free and paleo recipes for quite some time.
