So I realize today is MONDAY not SUNDAY!  I’m a little late on my Sunday Slow Cooker.  Well, see it all started when I couldn’t get an early enough delivery time for my groceries on Sunday so I had to plan to go the grocery store on Sunday instead of getting them delivered.  Not a big deal, except that I kind of didn’t make it to the grocery store in time to actually make the recipe…ooops!  And so, I have for you Sunday Slow Cooker on Monday my friends!  You gotta try this Spag Bol-it is so good and so easy!  The good part about doing Sunday Slow Cooker on Monday is that I came home from work tonight to delicious smells wafting from kitchen.  All I had to do was boil some water to make some pasta.  Amazing!  Check it out:
