It’s smokin’ hot out there! Really, you could literally fry an egg on the sidewalk. So in celebration of heat, smoke, fried eggs, June 1, and especially AC, we’re giving away two (2) All-Clad Slow Cookers and two (2) full sets of the Fix-It and Forget-It series (seven books total!).
Yep, we’re doing it again and there are several summery reasons why:
1. The slow cooker does not heat up your house like your oven will.
2. You don’t have to stand and sweat over a hot stove to make supper for your hungry kids. Let the slow cooker do the work!
3. You can take those hungry kids to the pool to cool off. While you lie in the shade with your sunglasses and lemonade, the slow cooker can work on supper.
4. It’s a perfect match to the grill! Put your veggies or fruity dessert in the slow cooker, and they’ll cook on their own while you flip the burgers.
THE GOODS:
The All-Clad slow cooker is 6.5 quarts and has a 3-setting programmable timer which we can’t live without.
(Though All-Clad knows that slow cookers are perfect for the summer, they have no idea we’re doing this contest.)
The full set of the Fix-It and Forget-It cookbook series includes: Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook, Fix-It and Forget-It Lightly, Fix-It and Forget-It 5-Ingredient Favorites, Fix-it and Forget-It Christmas Cookbook, Fix-It and Forget-It Diabetic Cookbook, Fix-It and Forget-It Kids’ Cookbook, and last, but not least, Fix-It and Forget-It Big Cookbook. You can use the slow cooker for every meal in June, July, and August with that set!
Phyllis will autograph them and even personalize them, if you wish. Just let us know.
