Crock Pot Spaghetti

I have a full time job and an hour commute each way so with what little time I have left in my day I love to cook recipes like this! (not to mention that it's good) I mean is there anything better after a long day than coming home to a home cooked meal. It has a combination of hamburger, italian sausage, cute little peperoni and noodles cooked in the sauce rather than water which makes them extra flavorful. Oh yeah, it has mushrooms too... which are totally gross... fungus... yuck, but my sweetie loves them so there they are... for his enjoyment.
1 lbs ground beef
1 lb italian sausage
1/2 6oz pkg sliced pepperoni
1 cup chopped onions
2 cloves minced garlic
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
2 tsp italian seasoning
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 lb sliced fresh mushrooms
4.5 cups tomato juice
24 oz dry spaghetti broken into 4-5 inch pieces
grated Parmesan cheese

Directions
1. Brown and drain ground chuck and italian sausage.
2. Combine all ingredients except spaghetti and parmesan cheese in a large crockpot
3. Cover. Cook on low 6-8 hrs, or high 3-5 hrs. Turn to high during the last 30 to 40 mins and stir in dry spaghetti. If the spaghetti is not done to your desired degree of doneness let it cook another 10 mins.
4. Sprinkle individual servings with parmesan cheese and serve.

Fried Ravioli

Benvenuto Giada! I am so excited that Giada is the chef we will be cooking from for the next six months over at I Heart Cooking Clubs!!! She is my absolute favorite celebrity chef. Over the years I've made many of her recipes and can't wait to make more. After browsing through some of her recipes over at the Food Network web site I settled on a simple but oh so delicious recipe of fried ravioli. They were so good! And easy... and GOOD!! Mmmm, just looking at the picture makes me wish I has more. Ingredients: Olive oil, for frying 1 cup buttermilk 2 cups Italian-style bread crumbs 1 box store bought cheese ravioli 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan Marinara sauce, heated, for dipping Directions: Pour enough olive oil into a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medioum heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 325 degrees. While the oil is heating, put the buttermilk and the bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Dip ravioli in buttermilk to coat, al...

Mint Brownies

Oh, chocolate mint, how I love thee!! No really, I do!! This is another Mark Bittman recipe to submit to IHCC. At the bottom of his recipes he always includes several "add in" suggestions and so to his basic brownie recipe I chose to add peppermint extract and mini chocolate chips. Brownies are so simple to make and the addition of peppermint and chocolate chips made these irresistible, so irresistible in fact that they just disappeared!!  I wish I would have made more, because I just keep thinking about how good they were… Hmmm, maybe tonight I'll make another batch and add a little almond extract and almonds. Ingredients: 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus a little softened butter for the pan 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, roughly chopped 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Pinch salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon pepperment Directions: 1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan with butter or line i...

Chocolate Croissants

I'm so excited to finally get to participate in IHCC this week! It has been crazy busy around here, and I haven't had a chance to find a recipe, get to the store and make stuff in quite a while. The theme this week "Tea Time" and while I dont drink hot tea this recipe goes equally well with a good cup of coffee. I chose Nigella's Chocolate Croissants because well... I love chocolate... and I already had everything I needed. Ingredients 1 package butter puff pastry chocolate chips 1 egg beaten Directions Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Open the sheet of pastry and then cut it into 6 squares. Cut each square diagonally to give 2 triangles. Put the triangle with the wider part facing you and the point away from you. Sprinkle about half a teaspoon of chocolate chips on each triangle. Then carefully roll from that chocolate loaded end towards the point of the triangle. You should now have something resembling a straight croissant, seal it slig...
