With this book, you can now create delectable breakfasts, lunches, dinners and desserts in the easiest way possible - simply pour in ingredients, press a button and walk away. The slow cooker does all the work, transforming low-GI carbohydrates into delicious treats such as: Pulled pork tacos; Beef picadillo lettuce wraps; Coconut rice pudding; and, Baked cinnamon-pecan apples.
