The Crock Pot

I'm glad we have one of these things, even if it's a hand-me-down from my mom. Wednesday night, we got home later than usual because we met a real estate agent for our first home tour. Exhausted from the work day, we decided to take a nap before having dinner. Now, knowing Ken and the way he takes naps, it could be awhile before he's ready to get up. So I smartened up and prepped all the ingredients for a hearty spaghetti sauce (ready-made meatballs, zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms, marinara sauce) and threw them all into the crock pot. The sauce was ready for us by the time we woke up and the only thing that needed to be done was to boil the noddles. Talk about cooking while you sleep!
