Dinner tonight. This is very easy and tasty and makes a huge pot. I
cooked the sausage, tomatoes, and seasonings together for a while so the
flavors could mingle. The crockpot would be good for that. I used all
spinach; any vegetable would be good in this. I sprinkled some Italian
blend shredded cheese over the top.

Sounds like a good way to use up stuff from the fridge and freezer. I
would have just used spinach, too. Broccoli doesn't sound quite right
in there, although some cooked diced zucchini might have been a good
addition since it pairs so well with tomatoes.

That's some of my favorite food, right there. When I order it
out, it generally has chicken in it, the other ingredients vary.
I call it chicken and stuff with penne.

Sounds good, Tara, I love pasta and hot Italian sausage, so this recipe
can not go wrong. You mentioned the crockpot, I have a couple of them
and I gave away a couple before we moved here, but I never use them. I
should work on that.

No, what's sad is you cannot accept people get recipes online or from
cookbooks. Pictures not required. I'm mostly disinterested in taking
pictures of what I cook. I'd much rather eat it than stand around
photographing it.

The crock pot makes spectacular chicken stock too, Becca, and you
don't need to make enough to feed an army. Put the ingredients in
your crock pot after dinner and let it perk all night on low.

One of these days I will do this, they say you add a tablespoon or two
of vinegar and you leave it in the crock pot and ignore it . I roasted a
chicken a couple of days ago, I should have done that with the chicken
bones.

That's how I use the chicken's carcass. I haven't heard about adding
vinegar to chicken stock before. I just do the usual carrot, onion,
celery - some tomato if I have one in the refrigerator or a tablespoon
of pre-portioned tomato paste from the freezer. If I don't have those
on hand, then a big squirt of Simply Heinz does the trick (maybe
that's where the vinegar idea came from).

I turn my crockpot on high for 20 minutes or so to bring the water up
to temp faster. Turn it down and forget about it until sometime the
next morning when I strain it. Actually, I have a wonderful "spider"
that I use to lift the bones and vegetables out. The stock stays nice
and clear that way. I pass it through a fine mesh strainer after I've
taken the bulk of bones and vegetables out.

If you don't have one, my spider's basket is similar to this one
http://www.allianceonline.co.uk/prod...s/LBSK0122.jpg
except the handle is a lot nicer. Best of all, it was extremely
inexpensive - somewhere around $5 at the Asian market.
I use mine so much (it's great for lifting pasta, like penne, out of
cooking water) that I bought one for DD and DIL, just so I could have
one to use when I'm cooking in their homes. Turns out they like it
too, so win-win.

I heard the lemon (vinegar) thing years and years ago. It's supposed
to extract all the goodies from the bones.

My spider is small and I need a large one like yours, they are handy to
have around.

When it comes to recipes, I can read them all day, but I do not like
recipe videos - except for Rockin' Robin. Here is her video on making
chicken broth.

Just vinegar - no water?

Yes, you add enough water to cover the bones and you add a tablespoon or
two of vinegar or lemon juice. Of course you would add onions, celery
and whatever you use to make chicken stock.

I just posted Rockin' Robin's video where she makes chicken stock in a
crock pot. Here is the video again.
