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.

ZITI RATATOUILLE

1 large eggplant (around 1 1/2 lbs), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 medium zucchini, cubed
1 bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large yellow onion, chopped

1 jar (around 24-oz) marinara sauce
2 cans (14-oz each) diced tomatoes with garlic and onions, do not drain
1 can (6-oz) pitted black olives, drained
1 pkg (8-oz) ziti
Lemon juice, optional
Shredded Parmesan cheese, optional

Combine the first seven ingredients in the crock-pot. Cover and cook on low 4 1/2 hours.

Stir in the olives and ziti; cook another 25 minutes until ziti is tender.

When serving, sprinkle with lemon juice and Parmesan cheese, if using.
