Bake until Bubbly: The Ultimate Casserole Cookbook
by Clifford A. Wright
Amazon Price: $15.61
Customer Review: The inviting photo on the cover led me to believe this book had photos on the inside -- a stupid assumption on my part, but one of the perils of shopping for books on the Internet. A book of this scope should have had photos, and the fact that it didn't means the publisher, for one reason or another, took the cheap way out. No matter how good and encyclopedic the recipes, this is also something of a "lifestyle" book that ought to have had photos. Bummer.

Cover & Bake (Best Recipe)
Amazon Price: $19.77
Customer Review: I mainly bought this book to see what dishes I can make ahead of time and that doesn't require an inordinate amount of time. I can't say that the few recipes I've tried saved me any time, but they were not difficult to replicate. I tried two chicken slow cooker meals so far and both turned out delicious, even though I didn't have all the ingredients listed. I loved that it told me not to cook chicken in a slow cooker on high or for more than 3-4 hours (in the discussion about slow cookers). Both times the chicken came out moist and flavorful. The directions were easy and thorough...I'm hoping that with this book, my husband would join in the cooking and make me a meal some time. I would recommend this book based on the two recipes I've tried. I plan on trying out some more yummy recipes!

American Heart Association One-Dish Meals: Over 200 All-New, All-in-One Recipes
by American Heart Association
Amazon Price: $16.29
Customer Review: I received this cookbook just a few weeks ago, and have made several dishes from it. I bought it because of the recipes, not because I am on a special diet. I had viewed it at a bookstore and it seemed to have a lot of recipes that sounded great, and that I would actually make. I also loved the fish section, and that it had a vegetarian section. We don't eat much meat, therefore I don't utilize most recipes in non vegetarian cookbooks, however this one seems to be an exception. The recipes I have made have all been rather simple, healthy and very tasty!

Customer Review: I was hoping for something maybe a little more gourmet. I realize you can only do so much with hamburger. Hamburger Helper is probably still the way to go.

The 150 Best Slow Cooker Recipes
by Judith Finlayson
Amazon Price: $16.47
Customer Review: I am one of those "morning people" who lose energy as the day goes along.
This fabulous cookbook enables me to serve great food to company, doing my cooking in the morning hours. Thus, I am fresh and unharried when my guests arrive, and they are served wonderful, innovative food. I have been asked for recipes from this book so many times that I am ordering two more copies today--one for my good friend's birthday and the other to use at my summer house in Maine. Try the orange flavored Moroccan lamb with prunes! It's been a hit numerous times, even with people who claim not to like lamb.

This is one of my more favorite cookbooks and it is so splattered with ingredients you can easily find the most frequently used recipes in my copy. It really is handy. You could be making your famous mashed potatoes and say I'm missing whatever the ingredient and you can get some great ideas from the Soup Mix Gourmet.
