Well fall is certainly here in my neck-of-the-woods. Waking up to the rain this morning has inspired me to breakout my trusty-dusty crock pot and get cooking!

I have always loved one pot meals. Reminds me of when I was growing up and the stews my mom would fix. She wasn’t what I would call a gourmet cook, but her stews were by far the best thing she knew how to prepare. We ate mostly meat, it’s the way it was back then. My dad was a hunter so I grew up on wild game like venison, elk, duck, pheasant and the like.

Now days I still eat everything, but lean towards cooking healthier and lighter. One of my favorite recipes is for Minestrone. Lots of fresh vegetables from the Farmer’s Market and I add some crusty bread…YUM!!

This is what I’m making tonight and I thought I’d share my recipe with you…enjoy!
