With work, school, play and everything else, moms know it's a real challenge to serve up home-cooked meals. You may already have a secret weapon in the cupboard, though...a trusty slow cooker! Bring it out and start slow-cooking hearty meals for every occasion.

In Busy-Day Slow Cooking you'll find delicious recipes shared by cooks just like you. Fill up the slow cooker overnight, then serve Overnight Blueberry French Toast for breakfast...what a day brightener! For lunch and casual suppers, tummy-warming Gram's Loaded Baked Potato Soup and Creamy Chicken & Macaroni Soup are sure to be welcome on chilly days. Root Beer Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Carol's BBQ for a Crowd and other savory meals-on-a-bun will make your next tailgating party a big success.

Two big chapters of main-dish recipes will meet all your dinnertime needs. On busy weeknights, you'll love serving your family Help-Yourself Hamburger Casserole, Creamy Dreamy Chicken and Kickin' Pork Chops...even meatless choices like Chili Sans Carne. For church potluck or special get-together? Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti, Cowboy Beans and Best-Ever Pineapple & Brown Sugar Ham are sure to please.

We've included tasty snacks like Hot Artichoke & Spinach Dip and Kielbasa Cocktail Appetizer to share...even Hot Fudge Peanut Butter Cake, Easy Cherry Cobbler and other ooey-gooey desserts.
