It’s official! We are excited to announce that our newest book, Slow Cooker Desserts, Oh So Easy, Oh So Delicious!, is published and ready for you to enjoy. September 1st is finally here and so is our new book! Yipeeeeeeeee!!!

This has been so exciting for us! We have loved baking in our Crock-Pots® since back in the day when we first met in the test kitchen. Here we are thirty years later and we still adore baking in the slow cooker. Now you can enjoy the moist, easy goodness of slow cooker desserts in your own home. The weather is going to be getting cooler and what better way to celebrate Fall than to treat yourself to a cookbook that will bring the flavors of fall and every season into your own home.

While we are celebrating and the confetti is flying, we would be remiss if we didn’t extend all of our thanks to you…..our dedicated family, friends and blog readers. Thank you for your support and for igniting our creativity into more scrumptious, slow cooker ideas for all to enjoy.

We hope you will go to your local retailer or order this beauty online today.

Happy Baking!

It seems like clockwork each summer–fresh peaches equals pie or cobbler.

After visiting the farmers market and selecting the best peaches we could find it was definitely cobbler time. Lots of wonderful childhood memories pop into mind when the word cobbler is mentioned. You may look at this picture and say cobbler? I don’t think so. [Read more…]

Is it time for strawberry shortcake? Or strawberry pie? Or just eating strawberries fresh, one after another? Yes to all of these, but one mark of the strawberry season for me is a batch of strawberry hand tarts. [Read more…]
