Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 My youngest had been pestering me to fix some scalloped potatoes, but with the weather being too hot for baking in the oven i thought i would attempt making this dish in the crockpot. To my delight it did come out well; i can share a rough recipe for doing that if anyone is interested. We had the potatoes with a fruit salad, a tossed green salad and lemonade. The best part was being able to eat comfort food without having the kitchen all heated up. Does anyone else use their crockpot more frequently in the summer? If so, what sort of dishes do you fix in it? ~ pt ~ O God of the elements, O God of the mysteries, O God of the stars... ~ Carmina Gadelica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 i was lazy and went & ordered bruchetta toast from a local raw cafe. :-D didn't feel like cooking, but man that was the best bruschetta toast i ever had! Nut cheese, fresh tomatoes, garlic, raw pine nuts! On dehydrated sprouted grain toast. Yummm!

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I don't have a crockpot but I went and bought a toaster oven for those hot summer days. it doesn't heat up the place as much the big oven and cools down faster also. I try to make things in the microwave but sometimes doesn't come out the way you like --- ~ PT ~ <patchouli_troll wrote: > My youngest had been pestering me to fix some > scalloped potatoes, but with the weather being > too hot for baking in the oven i thought i would > attempt making this dish in the crockpot.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I agree, with the microwave the crispy crunch just isn't there. Coco > melanie naylor <melly0s > 2004/07/22 Thu PM 12:30:53 EDT > > Re: Dinner last night... > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
