Attention Mom: please do not read this post! Christmas gift spoiler follows! 😉 
Are still looking for a Christmas gift for someone on your list? If that person lives in a household with just one or two people, consider this: cooking for one or two can be really challenging. A slow cooker is a convenient way to prepare food, but most recipes out there make 6-8 servings which just isn’t practical when you are cooking for a small crowd.
Here is a solution: print out my FREE 2 Quart Crockpot Mini Recipe Book and pair it with a small slow cooker to make a frugal and practical gift! I scaled down six of my favorite slow cooker recipes to make just 2-3 servings and created a printable mini cookbook. I printed one out, place it in page protectors which I bound with some ribbon. I’m giving it to my mom along with a 2 Quart Slow Cooker.
Here are two ideas for slow cookers to go with the cookbook: this Crock-Pot 3 Quart Slow Cooker is currently available on Amazon for $9.99 with free Prime Shipping. Or check out this cute Red Crock-Pot 2 Quart Slow Cooker on Target.com for $11.99 plus free shipping! Either would arrive in time for Christmas.
I hope my mom likes her present and I hope it helped someone else find a gift for a friend or family member!

I bought on these from target. The ceramic part was crooked and I forgot to take it back before 30 days. I just used it and it totally pulled apart from the bottom and while I was cooking it had a horrible burnt plastic/metal smell. I used it once and I have to throw it out now. It is poorly made and look super cheap inside where all the metal is. My daughter broke a crockpot we had in the family for like 40 years. Which was so well made. Do not buy this clunker. It literally looks like someone threw it against the wall after one use. The bottom metal part warped and pulled apart.

Good to know, thanks Susan. I hope I don't need to replace ours for about 30 more years (it is already 10 years old). ;)
