A HIGH rating means I liked it...
A LOW rating means I don't...
And I'm throwing in a WARM rating for those items that I just can't make up my mind on...
So my first HIGH or LOW is a cookbook:
Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook: Feasting with Your Slow Cooker
Pros: The recipes are simple to follow and are very easy to make. No real 'strange' ingredients
Cons: It has a lot of the same recipes throughout the book. Example: In the Beef section it might have a recipe for chili and then in the Soup section it will have the exact same recipe listed.
I don't know why that bugged me...other than I felt like I was getting less for my money...
It does use a lot of creamed soups and cheese, so this is definitely not the cookbook for anyone trying to diet or become healthier...
Final Thoughts: Someone new to slow cooking would probably find this cookbook useful because the recipes are quite easy. A college student could make these recipes even on a budget.
There are other Fix-it and Forget-it cookbooks, but I probably would not buy another one.
Rating: LOW
I guess I should have started on a HIGH note, but I had this cookbook and I know a lot of people buy it because it is inexpensive, so I wanted to share my thoughts...
So do you have this cookbook? What do you think? Do you find it useful?
Happy Slow Cooking and Hugs...

I don't have any crock-pot cookbooks. So this info is good for me should I go looking for one. But who needs to when I've got your wonderful blog!?!
I, also, do not have any crock pot cookbooks. But, your recipes on your blog look great!
I don't have this particular one, but I do have another of the Fix-It and Forget-It series. Like you, I'm not too impressed with it. I've made a few things, but like you said, there's a lot of repetition in the recipes.
