I never thought a crockpot can be so versatile. On a recent challenge with a couple of friend, we came out with a three-course meal; appetizer, main dish and a dessert, all done in with a crockpot! With the help of our cookbooks, you can make wonders. Let me share the crockpot recipes with you and try it for yourself. Maybe you can argue that this may not be a three-course meal, but it sure was a party-saver...
