I love that it has recipes for every season. There’s Warming Winter Dishes, Simply Speedy Springtime, Slow & Easy Summer, and Hearty Harvest Favorites. There are more than 225 slow cooker recipes and time saving tips.
I chose to make Best Ever Hot Cocoa for you all. It is pretty sweet so next time I will use less sweetened condensed milk. It tastes just delicious, anyway.
