I received a copy of the cookbook, Stock the Crock by Phyllis Good, so that I could give an honest review and a giveaway of the cookbook.
I use my crockpot infrequently, but I do have three Fix-It and Forget-It cookbooks (which were created by Phyllis Good as well) that I pull out and use when I do make crockpot recipes. I am trying to use my crockpot every Tuesday as that day is insanely crazy busy, so a crockpot meal is about the only way to ensure we will get a decent dinner.
Stock the Crock has beautiful pictures and is great quality. What sets this crockpot cookbook apart from other cookbooks is that it gives over 200 variations to 100 recipes so that users can customize the recipes to different dietary needs of those they take care or have as a guest in their home. There is gluten-free, paleo, vegan, vegetarian, and more variations for many of the recipes. The index in the back of the book shares which recipes can be prepared for these different needs, so it is easy to find recipes for each particular lifestyle.
I also loved the variety available and how many of the recipes are kid friendly, yet also adult enjoyable. I want to try the Easy Lasagna with Beef, Baked Ziti, Cilantro Lime Chicken, Swedish Meatballs, Screamin’ Good Carnitas, Homemade Hashbrowns, Cottage Potatoes, and Slow Cooker Brownies first.
I did try the Honey Baked Chicken Recipe — kind of.
I made it on Sunday, but it wasn’t done in time for lunch, so I let it keep cooking and then put it in the refrigerator and we will eat it for dinner tonight — after my crazy busy day. I also did not have boneless, skinless chicken thighs; I only had chicken legs. I ate a bite of it on Sunday — it was good; but not awesome. I will have to try it again with boneless, skinless thighs. Here is the recipe for Honey Baked Chicken.
- 4 pounds boneless skinless, chicken thighs
- 3/4 stick 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup honey
- 3 Tablespoons prepared mustard
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 1 /2 teaspoons curry powder
-
Grease the interior of the crock pot (slower cooker) with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
-
Arrange the thighs in the prepared crock.
-
In a bowl, mix together butter, honey, mustard, salt, and curry powder.
-
Pour the mixture over the chicken.
-
Cover. Cook on low 3 1/2 -4 1/2 hours or until meat thermometer reads 175°.
-
Spoon meat and sauce onto a platter.
-
Serve over cooked rice.

October 17, 2017 at 9:26 amI love slow cooker recipes! We make sweet and sour pork chops quite often, and I also do chicken breasts with cream of chicken soup – then we use that mixture to make a few different meals.
Danielle Priser says
October 19, 2017 at 12:13 pmI use our slow cooker for chicken stock, bbq chicken drumsticks, soups, stews, keto casseroles, you name it! It’s such a great way to have something delicious ready when I get home from work!

Tamra Phelps says
October 20, 2017 at 5:27 pmI tend to use the crock-pot in spurts, lol. I’ll get tired of cooking & start using the crock-pot for a few weeks, then I might not use it for several months. One thing I use it for every Christmas is making the apple butter for my Grandma’s recipe for Stack Cake. She used to take forever standing over a hot stove cooking and stirring those apples. I toss them i the crock-pot with water & spices & come back 10 hours later, lol.
Cheryl Chervitz says
October 20, 2017 at 6:08 pmI use mine about once a week. I cook chicken, roasts, pork chops, beef and broccoli. I’ll try anything in it.

Barb Miller says
October 25, 2017 at 12:59 pmI use mine a few times a month. I usually throw in a roast for enchiladas or pork tenderloin for pulled bbq sandwiches. I’m not too creative, I guess. Although, once in a while I’ll make something a little more like chicken tortilla soup. A recipe book might help me make more! 🙂
Danielle Porter says
October 25, 2017 at 3:23 pmI actually don’t use my crock pot a ton. Mostly, it is because people say you just throw stuff in and it’s easy, but when I do it never tastes good!

It’s so easy to make meals in your crock pot early in the morning and get things done you need to do while supper is cooking. Trying to get my DIL and daughter to use theirs more.
Tammy Doiel says
October 28, 2017 at 9:48 pmI think until you get used to using it, it’s hard to realize how easy it is.

robin s. says
October 28, 2017 at 7:01 pmI love my crock pot. I usually put in a simple pot roast on before we go to bed. The next day we eat on the pot roast all day. Since I don’t have to cook it frees me up to tackle other house hold chores.
