We all love to eat good food, but no one seems to have the time to cook it anymore. The resurrection of the slow cooker has changed all that, giving busy food lovers a simple way to prepare delicious meals with very little effort or attention. Now, in The Everyday Low Carb Slow Cooker Cookbook, nutritionist and food consultant Kitty Broihier and recipe developer and creative chef Kimberly Mayone offer low carbers a chance to jump on the slow cooker bandwagon with over 120 delectable low carb recipes designed especially for slow cooking. They cover everything from breakfast foods, snacks, and chilis to soups, entrees, and desserts, and even include potluck favorites, easy-prep entrees requiring five ingredients or less, and ethnic cuisine. Complete with information on the convenience and health benefits of using the slow cooker, how to convert favorite low carb recipes for slow cooking, low carb “go-with” recipes that round out slow cooked meals, and tips and serving suggestions featured throughout, The Everyday Low Carb Slow Cooker Cookbook is sure to become a staple in every low carb cook’s kitchen.
Here are some easy slow-cooker recipes for the Atkins crowd, from nutrition consultant Broihier and recipe developer Mayone. But while the Mexican Pot Roast and Beef Bourguignonne will benefit from a slow cooker's long, gentle method, other recipes seem out of place. Why, for example, make Peanut Butter Fudge Cake in a slow cooker? And would a chicken cooked for six hours in a slow cooker really be "roasted"? Nevertheless, the title alone ensures demand.

March 25, 2006: I got bored with food the last time I went low-carb. I thought I'd scream if I had to eat another salad. So here I am trying again. I bought this cookbook and have made several of the dishes, including the ice cream! I LOVE how easy it is to use my crockpot, and the food is DELICIOUS! Now I don't feel deprived!
