Although the analysts and editors have attempted full accuracy in the
nutritional data and analyses included with the “Light” recipes in this
cookbook, many variables (including variations related to particular brands,
to the refinement of products, and to the exact amounts of ingredients, as well
as whether they are cooked or raw) could result in the analyses being
approximate.
Because many factors influence your health, please check with your health-
care expert before making substantial changes in what you eat.

Fix-It and Forget-It Big Cookbook
This grand treasury of the best “make-it-again” slow-cooker dishes
is ready to be your steady kitchen companion.
I selected these 1400 favorite recipes from the five cookbooks in our
beloved Fix-It and Forget-It cookbook series. They are gathered here
in one handsome, meant-to-be-used volume!
THE BIG SOLUTION
Fix-It and Forget-It BIG COOKBOOK offers tasty cooking
solutions every day.
• Too little time to cook?
• Worried about your skills in the kitchen?
• Scared of a flop?
Note the Prep Time at the head of each recipe. Most are happily

completely novice cook.) And all of these recipes come from home
cooks. These are their favorite dishes, loved by families and
households across the country. So get out your slow cooker—or
cookers—and choose from these flexible, forgiving, and absolutely
scrumptious recipes.

suits your mood, pleases those who eat at your table, or matches the
ingredients you have on hand.
You’ll find helpful Tips spread among the recipes—the kind of
pointers that you usually learn only after a long acquaintance with a
slow cooker, or with cooking in general. Think of them as the voices of
your favorite aunt or grandmother, standing at your elbow with their
