Jump to Recipe

Multi-tasking has become a way of life. Somehow we are supposed to work, run errands, make meals and answer various types of digital message - all at the same time. Not that long ago, much correspondence came via snail-mail. It sometimes took a full week to receive the answer to a simple question. Now, everything is instantaneous. It is practically assumed that if you have two hands, you are able to to perform two separate tasks simultaneously. Unfortunately, we only have one brain!

Multi-tasking at its laziest

Bring the old fashioned slow cooker into the scene and it immediately takes you back to simpler time while somehow managing to be totally current. It is the ultimate multi-tasking machine. Just throw some food into it before work and you are basically multi-tasking all day. For example, I am currently typing this blog AND making soup. Multi-tasking at its finest. And without over taxing my tired brain!

Pizza Bagel Bake Hacks:

This is the PERFECT way to use up those random bagels floating around the bottom or back of your freezer!
This is a great party dish, appetizer, kid friendly meal or game day treat.
Any sort of pizza type sauce will do.
I suggest lining your slow cooker with foil or parchment paper. I sprayed mine with a little non-stick spray. This will allow for the easiest removal from your slow cooker
