Acknowledgements

This book would not have been possible if not for Amanda Waddell and Sally Ekus.

In fact, this book would have never existed if it weren’t for Amanda reaching out to me as a new blogger so many years ago. It's been my pleasure to work with her again on revising and expanding my very first book.

Thanks to Jenna Patton for being so easy to work with and doing a great editing job. I am very grateful to the designer, Laura Klynstra, for creating such an amazing design for this book. The beautiful photography is the work of photographer and food stylist Kate Lewis.

Special thanks to all my testers: Rochelle Arvizo, Brandie Bloggins, Michelle Cardillo, Monica Soria Caruso, Julie Cross, Christina Emery, Faith Hood, Kim Logan, Jenna Patton, Debbie Smith, and Sherrie Thompson for their willingness to cook anything—even if they didn’t think it could be done in a slow cooker.
