Life on the Funny Farm

I love to make this crockpot on Sunday so it is ready when I come home

1 pre cooked ham or turkey ham, sliced
enough potatoes to feed your family peeled and quartered
2 T olive oil
1 bag lipton onion soup mix, or just enough to coat the potatoes

Mix potatoes, oil, and soup mix in crockpot. Cook 8-9 hrs. on low or 5-6 hrs. on high.
When you get home from church, warm up the ham slices in the microwave on a plate and serve next to the potatoes. Delicious!

1 or 2 garden tomatoes, chopped
1 large cucumber, chopped
rice vinegar (or flavored vinegar of your choice)
1-2 t sugar (or splenda) (to your taste)
salt and pepper to taste

Mix veggies. Salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with vinegar just until all veggies are wet (about 1 T or so). Add sugar. Mix well and serve cold. Yum!

Here is my favorite quick way to cook garden zucchini.

1 cup zucchini, sliced into coins
5 sprays I can't believe it's not butter spray
1T parmesan cheese
salt to taste
chopped walnuts, optional

Place cut up zucchini on a plate and microwave for 3 minutes. Spray with butter spray. Add a little salt. Sprinkle on the parmesan cheese. Add a few chopped walnuts if desired. Delicious!

1 mozzarella cheese stick, chopped
1 garden tomato, chopped (or 10 storebought grape tomatoes because they are sweeter)
salt and pepper to taste
basalmic vinegar

Mix cheese and tomatoes. Add seasonings and drizzle with basalmic vinegar. This is quick and delicious in the summertime!
