A little background: When I joined this exchange I expected to be a difficult mach for my Santa; Although I love to cook, my current living conditions include serious limitations on the facilities I can utilize. Fortunately, my Santa was up to the challenge!

My Santa sent me two perfect cookbooks for my situation: 350 Big Taste Recipes for the 1 1/2 Quart Mini Slow Cooker and 250 Best meals in a mug: Delicious Homemade Microwave Meals in Minutes. I'll be thumbing through both over the weekend, and can't wait to hit the market to buy supplies so I can start cooking!
