WELCOME

Welcome to this slow cooker/crockpot blog. I believe slow cookers are the best thing to happen to modern day cooks. I used mine often when I worked outside the home and continue to do so even in retirement. It is so nice to put food on and forget about it. Slow cookers also allow us to cook many things we would normally have to use the oven for; what a relief in hot Texas weather! Some of these recipes are mine, many are ones I have collected over the years.

BREAKFAST BREAD PUDDING

6 cups, preferably dense peasant-style or sourdough, bread cut into about 1" cubes
1/2 cup slivered toasted almonds
1 cup raisins
6 large eggs, beaten
1 3/4 cups 1% milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
3 cups sliced fresh strawberries, for serving
2 cups fresh blueberries, for serving
Fresh mint leaves for garnish, optional

Coat inside of crock pot with nonstick cooking spray or butter. Add the bread, almonds, and raisins; toss to combine.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour over the mixture in the cooker; toss to blend.

Place lid on cooker and cook on low 4 to 4 1/2 hours or on high 3 hours.

Remove stoneware insert from base to allow cooling so pudding can set before serving.

Serve with the berries and add mint leaves, if desired.
