(Note: if this happens to you often you might find our post about how to fix 3 common slow cooker issues helpful.)

June 13, 2016 at 1:34 pmHi Karla-
We may have an e-book option for similar collections of our own recipes in the future, but we do not have one at this time. For now, you will need to pick which ones you want and print those individual recipes.
