slow cooker

This Thai chicken recipe was a real crowd pleaser with the kids. It was really easy to prepare and because I would using the slow cooker it just cooked itself.

It was great to be able to chuck some stuff in the slow cooker and not have to worry about cooking in the evening. Which has also meant that we have got to enjoy the school holiday to the max.

Another day and another slow cooker meal! I had never cooked BBQ ribs in a slow cooker before and WOW WOW WOW, they melted in the mouth and because it was so simple to make, we got to spend all day having fun, without me having to worry about cooking.

How to cook the perfect gingered gammon. After all the fuss of Christmas Day, Boxing Day is often a more chilled and relaxed affair. We often won't have a fixed meal, rather graze slowly all day on cold meats, cheats and dips and pate. This ginger glazed gammon recipe is easy to prepare and because the slow cooker takes care of the actual cooking. You get more time to spend with the family.

Another slow cooker meal. I actually made the meatballs the night before and left in the fridge over night. I went for turkey meatballs because it was cheaper and made a change from beef. Also it is lighter so more suited to spring weather.

This is a great recipe to batch cook and freeze for another day.

Knowing that I had a manic day at work today and the kids had activities planned for after school, I decided to dig out the slow cooker for todays meal and did a little preparation before the morning school run.

This is full of flavours from the Mediterranean, with chorizo, tomatoes and peppers. The chicken literally falls of the bone and we really enjoyed mopping up the sauce with bread.
