A hot time with mild Italians

Once again I could resist a crockpot special. It occurs to me that I have simply substituted cross-stitch magazines for crockpot ones. At least I have a hope in heck of finishing a crockpot ;-) Although it may seem like Mr. Crockpot should be on summer vacation, there's nothing more dreadful than turning the oven on. Our house is sitting at about 84 degrees right now. Hot!

But this magazine has a few redeeming recipes in it and I made one on Monday - I bought a dozen mild Italian sausages, a dozen panini rolls and all the other ingredients for a good time! We invited some friends over and everyone agreed - this is a thumbs up meal. It makes it's own tomato sauce for dipping and there were even enough leftovers for dinner on Tuesday. Another timesaving crockpot victory! Right now he's working hard at making chili - I was too tired this morning to get it started for dinner tonight, but that's OK. Chili's always better the next day. I'll have to input the recipes another day - I couldn't find them on Better Homes & Gardens website.
