In Purrsuit of Flavors


                                                                    This month is One Dish Meals
                                                                     Sponsored by the Tybee and Shoko at Canadian Cats

We figure anything cooked in the crockpot qualifies for this theme.  Since Mom tries not to eat carbs, this soup is hearty and satisfying!

Wait....that's not the soup....that's Angel Allie in the crockpot!

Here is our recipe!!

My momma is writing down this recipe, cuz she is avoiding them Demon Carbs, too. Her favorite recipe for breakfast is to sautee mushrooms with cherry tomatoes, add handfuls of fresh spinach...let simmer, crack an egg over it and let that simmer. It's very delicious, and I don't even like spinach. Purrs, Dori

Mom says that she thinks this must have a million calories, but she thinks it would be great for a cold, winter day.
