For your HELFY pleasure today, I bring you two recipes...
For reals! These taste really good. They're a great way to use up leftover spaghetti & sauce. Bonus: they're quite portable - great for a lunch or snack. The other night we made spaghetti pie - same ingredients, but you dump it all into a casserole dish rather than using a muffin pan. Spaghetti Pie still tastes good, but definitely lacks the cute factor of the cupcake.
And now, we have a contribution from our own MooMoo. I haven't tried this yet, but I will, and soon. It sounds delicious. And my pantry could use a good clean-out (hey - know of any recipes that will get my laundry done??).
Clean-Out-The-Pantry Minestrone Soup CrockPot Recipe
From the Crockpot 365 blog.
- 3 cups chicken broth (canned or "fresh")
- 2 cans of whatever kind of beans you like (drained)
- 1 can tomatoes (and juice)
- 1 can corn (and juice)
- vegetables (e.g. roasted broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, asparagus)
- salt and pepper to taste
Add the juice and vegetables from the corn and tomato cans.
Cover with chicken broth. Unless you are vegetarian. Then I would imagine you'd not want to use chicken broth and opt for vegetable stock.
Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4.
In unrelated news, I made a web site! Check it out.
XOXOXOXO
