Yes you heard me, bread. I've got a recipe that I actually made bread from. In a slow cooker a.k.a. crock pot. It didn't rise much, but it's the first time I ever made bread, so, oh well. Company's Coming This recipe is called tomato herb and it is SO good. My Tigger wouldn't leave me alone when I made it. Tigger1 and Tigger2
