Picky aren't I ?
I simply wash the potatoes.
Prick them a few times with a fork or knife.
Spray a small sheet of aluminum foil with cooking spray and then wrap the potato up in it.
Place wrapped potatoes in a crock pot.
Add about 1/2 cup water to the bottom of the crock pot.
Place lid on and let cook on HIGH for at least 5-6 hours.
Now I have to tell you that in 5-6 hours they will be done however I prefer to place mine in the crock pot and let them cook all day on High. (like about 8 hours)
They come out perfectly steamed!
~The Big Storm~
Thankfully we have power after the big storms that went through the other night. I tried to take a few pictures during the worst moments of it but it was impossible. There was so much dust and dirt swirling in the air that as soon as I opened the door to snap a picture I immediately had to shut my eyes. This was all I managed to get.
No major damages here! We lost power only for a brief few minutes however my Mom & Dad (who live right across the street) as well as most of our town were without electric for the rest of that night and part of the next day. Lots of trees and power lines down all around.
There are still many without power which makes it miserable in this high heat.
The chance for strong storms to come through our area is forecast again for Wednesday. I'm hoping for the rain but I can do without the heavy winds.
Hope you all are staying cool!

Will try the potatoes !
Hi there,
Gosh, what crazy weather we are having.
I'm glad that you are all ok. We are hoping and praying that those without power and who are in the bad storms and fires will be safe.
It is so hot everywhere. We are praying for the entire country to get rain. It is badly needed.
Thanks for the potato idea. It is simply too hot to turn the oven on. I can't even wash dishes everyday because of the heat. :( We don't have AC.
Stay safe. Take care, Janet W
Hi Jessica...
Happy Independence day!!
I came over to visit from Janet's and have so enjoyed my visit here.
I'm now following you and looking forward to reading your posts.
I just tried baking potatoes in the crockpot for the first time the other day.... worked like a charm :)
Sorry about the terrible storms that you've been getting.
Hopefully things will calm down.
We need rain so badly here in West.. praying for a gully washer.
Smiles :)

It is awful that people are without power during this horrible heat wave. Glad you still have yours.
Not much going on here either. We are going to grill hot dogs and I made potato salad and a blueberry cobbler this morning. Staying inside mostly. I hope we all get the rain without the storms too.
I have honestly never thought about cooking baked potatoes in the crock pot. I definitely will now! I love them, but hate cooking them....this way will be so easy and keep the house cool. Thanks!
