Imagine this. Your man comes home from work and the kitchen's clean, dinner's done.

Enticed by the delicious aroma wafting from the slow cooker, he lifts the lid and takes a peek. Mmm, Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Gumbo, his favorite. He calls your name. You do not respond. Intrigued, he walks toward the bedroom, and finds the door slightly ajar. He pushes it open... what does he see?

1. You, curled up in bed, snoring softly under the covers. After a workday from hell, you crashed and burned knowing full-well dinner wouldn't.
2. No one. You're doing the mall thing; he can grab a quick bite and pick up the kids at his mother's.
3. A good-bye note. Having finally carried out your threat of walking out the door and never coming back, you prepared a nice meal in case you change your mind.
4. You, sprawled on the bed, wearing nothing but an apron. To you, the only thing more fun than making love is making love and dinner at the same time.

If you can see yourself in any of these scenarios, you'll love this book.

Laced with dozens of zingers on men, money, shopping, sex, and work, How to Make Love & Dinner at the Same Time offers 200 steamy recipes that require a half hour or less of preparation time, such as Caramelized Red Onion Dip; Chicken Bites in Thai Peanut Sause; Cream of Sweet Potato Soup; Steak and Orzo in Tomato-Oregano Sauce; Lemon-Garlic Chicken on a Vegetable Bed; Madame M's Chocolate Upside-Down Cake. This is a slow cooker cookbook that sizzles!
