Made greek ribs in the crockpot using Clubhouse greek seasoning. I rubbed the ribs in the seasoning, then stood them on end in the crockpot with just enough water to cover the bottom. Put them on low for 7hrs, then in the oven to "crisp" a little, 20 min at 350.
The tricky part was keeping them from falling apart as I transferred them to the tray. But holy YUM!!

Miniature Turkey pot pie for dinner. They were very tasty, but there was too much pastry for the amount of filling. I think next time we will make a big pie instead. (Probably much easier too)
