Slow Cooker Meals

Lately, I haven't felt any motivation to cook on the stove top. As it has gotten cold. I have a tendency to burrow in the covers after my workout. I pulled out my crockpot and have been making some seriously awesome meals overnight for lunch. I have a couple of recipes that I love to make and my coworkers tell me smell super delicious. 

Italian Crock Pot Soup

1 Green bell pepper chopped

2 zuchhini chopped

1/2 cup of barley

5 pieces of califlower, chopped up small

I can of tomato sauce

1/3 jar of vodka sauce

2 cups of water

oregano, parsley, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste

Layer the zucchini into the pot first, putting the starchier things towards the bottom.

Cook on low for 6 -8 hours.

Indian Crock Pot Soup
