Giveaway of Stephanie O’Dea’s More Make It Fast, Cook It Slow Cookbook
This post is linked to Gluten-Free Wednesdays.
UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Joan (“I follow @Shirleygfe on Twitter as @southerncooker.”), Tina Borchardt (“I would love to win.”), and Robin (“I “like” gfe on Facebook.”). Joan, Tina, and Robin were selected by random number generation using random.org. Carolyn Miller McGinniss also won a copy by responding to my status update on Facebook and submitting the 10,000th comment here on gfe—”Congrats on the 9,999 blog comments Shirley!” Carolyn didn’t even know there was a prize to be had; she was just being nice. Woohoo and congrats to Carolyn, too! Thanks to all who entered and remember that if you didn’t win, you can purchase Stephanie O’Dea’s new cookbook, More Make It Fast, Cook It Slow, here at Amazon. $10 for 200 brand-new, budget-friendly recipes seems like a great bargain to me. Of course, there will be more giveaways of products/services that fit the gfe approach in the future. 
Are you a Stephanie O’Dea fan? You know … the very adorable and very funny “crockpot lady.” For years, Stephanie hid her cute little face behind horn-rimmed glasses and her crockpot/slow cooker. She declared that she was okay with her “unnatural obsession” with her crockpot/slow cooker, the latter in which she cooked everything … and I do mean everything. You’re probably familiar with her first cookbook, the New York Times bestseller, Make It Fast, Cook It Slow, but did you know she has a new cookbook that just came out this very day? That’s right. More Make It Fast, Cook It Slow was just released. Yippee for Stephanie and for all of us!
Stephanie’s new cookbook has 200 brand new recipes that are budget friendly. As Stephanie states on her slow cooking blog: “There are over 200 brand-new recipes in this book that have not been shared in the first Make It Fast, Cook It Slow cookbook. I have separated the book into three sections: $7 and under, $10 and under, and $15 and under dishes. Within each section, there are chapters for beverages, appetizers, soups and stews, side dishes, main courses, and desserts. The main-course selections are bountiful, because I believe this is the most beneficial.” She talks more about her book launch here on A Year of Slow Cooking and here on her Totally Together Journal blog.) In order to make and test all the recipes for her latest cookbook, she had eight slow cookers going at one time! I can just imagine Steph doing that, and oh, how I wish I lived next door to her. That would be for many reasons (I love Stephanie!), but she and her family cannot possibly eat all the food that she makes when she’s in “cookbook mode,” so she shares with family and friends … those lucky folks! Note that Stephanie’s cookbook is written for everyone, but the recipes are also gluten free, so if a recipe is a dessert recipe and calls for flour or a baking mix, Stephanie simply notes in parentheses that she used a gluten-free flour mix, like Pamela’s. Similarly, she’ll note any other ingredients that she had to use to ensure the recipe was gluten free; e.g., a specific brand of soy sauce.
I’ve shared my success with Stephanie’s recipes here at gfe before, but recently I shared the link to Steph’s Wassail recipe with Sunny (And Love It, Too) via Twitter. Sunny made it and her family loved it. So much so that her daughter insisted that some of wassail be left for Santa instead of the usual beverage. She was certain that the delicious wassail would make Santa more generous. Well, Sunny’s daughter thinks the proof is in the presents as Santa brought the whole family new bikes—seven of them! Well, Christmas has passed so there won’t be another opportunity for many days to bribe Santa, but I know we’ll all love Steph’s new book right away. Like you, I can’t wait to see it! So not only am I ordering one for myself, but I’m ordering three more for a giveaway for my beloved gfe readers as part of my 25 Days of Christmas event. See … the holidays are not completely over … you don’t have to be let down.
This giveaway for three copies of More Make It Fast, Cook It Slow will end Saturday, January 1, at midnight Eastern.

I love A Year of Crockpotting. It’s my go to place for recipes. I have been salivating thinking of making the cream cheese sausage and rotel appetizer again. It’s also one of the requested recipes when I go to parties.

I am already a subscriber of both GFE and A Year of Slow Cooking. I’ve made her delicious Vietnamese Chicken in my slow cooker and tons of other stuff too. I love how she weaves in gluten free so *easily* in all her recipes. Would love to win this new book and start enjoying recipes from it!
I’ve been trying a lot of Stephanie’s recipes lately, but one I’m anxious to try is Marmalade Curry Chicken!
I already suscribe/follow the GFE blog.
I would love to make Stephanie’s crockpot fish chowder recipe, although I will have to find some tweaks to replace the heavy cream (no dairy) and the shrimp (I may love the stuff, but one of my boys goes anaphylactic with shellfish, fish is okay, just not shellfish)…otherwise, it is a good foundation for something I really want to try!
I already “like” gfe on FB, and follow both Shirleygfe and StephanieODea on twitter (of course, given that you mention me directly on this post, I suppose you knew that already

I purchased Make It Fast, Cook It Slow shortly after it was first published, even before my blogging adventures began…I cannot wait to get my hands on this second edition! Great giveaway Shirley.

I already subscribe to Stephanie’s blog. Ever since I got the first cookbook, I have been making various slow cooker meat dishes for frequent pot luck dinners at my son’s school. We’ve had a lot of luck with the barbecue ribs, and the roast beef.
One of the high school students also eats GF, and when she sees me coming in with the crock pot she runs up and asks, “did you make it gluten free?? *squeal* ” It’s so hard for us to find something we can eat at these pot luck dinners, but Stephanie’s recipes make it so easy to bring something we can eat.

I’ve tried the Cowboy Stew, the Chicken Cordon Bleu, the Winner Turkey Dinner, the Beef and Broccoli and more and all are, without exception, tasty and 5 thumbs up at our house.
I already read Stephanie’s blog(s) daily, and my favorite recipe is the pesto chicken with sweet potatoes that you cook right on top of the chicken. A quick, healthy, inexpensive meal that my family loves!

There are about a gazillion recipes on Stephanie’s website that I’d like to make, but first on my list is the peanut butter chocolate pudding pie!
Can you believe that I don’t know much about Stephanie? I’ve just heard about her through some recent giveaways. Looks like I need to investigate, and dust off my slow cooker! Thanks Shirley. xo
I love all her recipes because they are naturally gluten free! I want to make a different variation of her chicken enchilada chili. I love it but want to add more of a smokey/roasted taste.

I’d also like to mention that I’ve seen Stephanie’s first book at one of the local bookstores around here but I’ve yet to pick it up and read it! I know, terrible. But I have been to her blog many times and always leave feeling inspired and am always amazed at the number of things one can use their slow cooker for beyond the usual standards. I think Stephanie raised the bar in that department.
Congrats on the 9,999 blog comments Shirley!
Carolyn–I can always count on you to respond to my FB entries.
Your comment is number 10,000–woohoo! Just for that, I’m sending you a copy of Steph O’Dea’s new cookbook, too, when I send out the others to the winners! Congrats!
You should still be in Little Cayman. All your photos say you are having a fabulous time! xo,

I’ve been following Stephanie for a few years now both on TTJ and YoC. Her recipes are outstanding and her personality is so engaging. I would love to win this book.
I need to try some of her Indian recipes. That’s a cuisine I’m not really familiar with.
I love Stephanie’s blog! She has great (easy) recipes. Just like you Shirley!
Hi Amy–Sorry you weren’t a winner on this one, but thanks so much for popping in here at gfe with the super sweet words for both Steph and me!

Looks like a fabulous book! My main question before I entered was if this book was one that used “cream of” soups and I was so happy to read that she does not use them at all!
I have been playing around all day and tomorrow we are making her slow cooker beef bourguignon! Looks fab!
