I finally have a nice slow cooker that has a removable crock-it's the oblong one to replace my tradional Rival CrockPot from the '80's. I'd like to invest in a good crock pot recipe book.

Which book do you absolutely love? Rate your crock pot cook books please.

Angie and I and the kids love this one...probably the one we used the most when all 4 kids lived at home...easy too!

1 1/2 lbs. Beef Flank steak, cut into about 6 pieces

Combine all ingredients (excepts tortillas and toppings) into the slow cooker and stir. Cover and cook on low 8 to 10 hrs. Take beef out of the pot and shred with fork and return to pot. Serve wrapped in the tortillas and add toppings.

oops...I didn't see "book"...I just saw recipe...oh well

I just use the internet

I love my slow cooker, but like EZ, I don't use a recipe book. (Actually, I don't even own any recipe books. I bet that's true of a lot of people my age - it just isn't necessary anymore.)

My favorite recipe site is Recipezaar, so until you find a book that you like, try this link: http://www.recipezaar.com/recipes.ph...%2Frecipes.php
It's a search for all things tagged both "crock pot" and "healthy," sorted with the highest rated recipes first.

Thanks for the website Mayness it looks great!

I have a great "Taste of Home" crock pot book.

I have a Low-Carb Slowcooker recipe book that is one of my favorites.

Can we post links? I guess it'll be removed if we can't. But the author's are Broihier and Mayone. http://www.amazon.com/Everyday-Low-C.../dp/1569244286
