I’m hoping by now you’ve gotten word of the new Everything Gluten Free Slow Cooker cookbook by Carrie Forbes (AKA Ginger Lemon Girl). You know you want one…
First, I must say, Carrie is fantastic. I’ve made so many of her recipes over the years, and her chocolate chip cookies are an absolute favorite and necessity at our parties. I’ve also made her cornbread, which E loved, and used her Master Mix.
So I had no doubt that Carrie’s book would be marvelous as well. And of course it is.
It has everything from baked goods, to 5 ingredient wonders to drinks! Did you know that you can make baked goods in a crock pot? And GLUTEN FREE baked goods? Yep, really. I didn’t know either. I’m also super honored that Carrie crockpot-ified a millet recipe that I’ve been making for ages…check it out!
I decided to make the applesauce, or, really, life decided for me. I adore applesauce, and 
I’ve made applesauce on the stovetop for years. It’s one of my favorite things this time of year. Mr. Dude and I were at the Farmers’ market and I spied Empress apples. Now, I figure that since my cat, Genghis, is the Emperor, I must be an Imperial mama, if not an empress. So I asked, and she said they weren’t really eating apples, but that they made the best applesauce ever. I’m an apple connoisseur and so I was intrigued.
She did not lie.
Problem was, we gobbled it down so quickly there was no photographic evidence! So I was clearly compelled to make another batch of applesauce. It is so much easier in the crockpot.
And, Carrie’s Moroccan chicken is on the menu for next week. I can’t wait!
So, I am giving away 2 copies of this book. One is signed by the lovely Ms. Forbes herself. One isn’t. (sorry! If you want I can scribble in Carrie’s name, and we can pretend, but it’s just not the same, ya know? 😉 ) These books are a gift from me, not the publisher.

Since I’m only in my second week of living gluten free, I actually hadn’t heard of the lovely Carrie before this contest. I’m so excited to read to book and follow her to get to know this amazing lady better! Thanks for writing a book of recipes I can try while putting the new slow cooker my husband and I just received for our wedding to good use!

Wow, this cookbook is amazing. I can say that I have owned at least two crock pots my entire adult life…and until I bought this book a couple of months ago, I’d only ever used a crock pot for chili or cheese dips. I didn’t have a clue about all of the amazing things you can use one for. I now use a crock pot for one of Carrie’s recipes every single weekend. Most recently I made the rotisserie style chicken and gravy. AMAZING. I honestly had no idea you could cook a whole chicken in a crock pot like that. Her recipe for butternut squash with walnuts, brown sugar, butter, and a few other ingredients even got my mom to eat it, and she has despised butternut squash forever. I thought it was amazing and plan to make it again and again. I can’t wait to try even more of her recipes. Thanks so much Carrie for publishing this book!
