Query: Too Much Preparation

I am new to slow cooking and got this book from the library to get some new recipe ideas. This book is very nicely arranged (separate sections for: bread/breakfast, soups, poultry/seafood, meat, pasta, vegetarian and dessert) with nice full color photographs of the food and nutritional information on each dish.Though it does contain many delicious sounding recipes, I was frustrated that nearly all of them require pre-preparation of the food beyond just browning meat or chopping vegetables. Nearly every one of the recipes I wanted to attempt began with "In a skillet...." Personally, I was looking for healthy recipes with minimal pre-prep that I could put together while my children napped or were occupied during the day and NOT what amounts to cooking an entire meal on the stovetop and then throwing it in a slow cooker.This would be a good purchase for someone with more time on their hands but for me, it just didn't work.
