Where Slow Food and Whole Food Meet

I’m so excited to announce that Where Slow Food and Whole Food Meet (affiliate link), a cookbook full of fantastic slow cooker recipes, is being released today! Over 30 bloggers, myself included, contributed recipes to the book to benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida.

All of the recipes, which were lovingly edited and compiled by Jennifer of Mother Thyme and Christine of Cook the Story, look fantastic. I’m especially excited to try the butternut squash chili, the raspberry-chipotle chicken tacos (made with raspberry preserves!) and the chicken with 40 (!!) cloves of garlic.  I contributed these pork meatballs in marinara sauce, which I made using last year’s canned crushed tomatoes, and we are loving them with spaghetti as an easy weeknight dinner. If you want to see the recipes though, you’ll have to buy the book!

September is Hunger Action Month, a nationwide campaign designed to mobilize the public to take action on hunger. One in six Americans struggles with hunger, so this is an important issue that we should all be aware of. If you want to help, Feeding America has a few suggestions on their webpage. And if you want to help and check out Where Slow Food and Whole Food Meet, make a donation to your local food bank. Feeding America food banks across the country are giving the ebook version to their donors as a free gift. Donate and get your free ebook here. Alternatively, if you buy a hard copy of the book on Amazon, all proceeds will go to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida!

To help support the food bank further and get the word out about our cookbook, some generous brands have jumped on board as sponsors. San Miguel Produce, Grimmway Farms and Old Oak Farms by RPE Produce are making some big contributions to help end hunger. Each of these brands are contributing food to their local food banks, and giving $5 in donations for every print copy of the book that we sell, on top of the proceeds from the book that are already going to the food bank.

Plus, these brands, along with Hamilton Beach, have put together some fun giveaways to get you excited about the book! Check them out:

    I love the title of that cookbook! My favorite thing about slow cookers, is that you can dump pretty much anything into it, and the end result is always yummy! But I do like to make chickpea coconut curry with green beans 🙂

    I LOVE making any sort of chicken dish. I never grew up with a crockpot but it is so easy now. I don’t how my mom lived without one…especially with three kids!

    One recipe I make often is slow-cooked pulled BBQ for sandwiches–any meat, sauce is 1:1 Organic Hoisin + Organic Ketchup…lots of onions and garlic, of course. I usually add zucchini or squash, too, that shreds right along with the meat, adding fiber 🙂

    My all-time favorite slow-cooker meal is beef stew, but i’ve recently taken a shine to a chicken breast recipe from an America’s Test Kitchen cookbook; it incorporates dried apricots and is delicious.

    My mother used to make something she called “Chicken Stuff”. It had to be something economical, and it was always delicious!

    My favorite slow cooker recipe is shredded beef and salsa made in the slow cooker. It makes yummy tacos and burritos, and it’s so easy to make!
