Having lots to do in my day, but still wanting to produce nutritious, home cooked meals quickly (especially if it can be made in a big batch and some saved and frozen) means that I LOVE MY SLOW COOKER!
Whilst the one down side is I can be browning meat, de-boning carcasses at 7am is a bit stomach churning, another upside is you can buy cheaper meat cuts (the sort that may need de-boning!)
I make stews, chilli, bean bonanzas (yeah I don't have a name for many of my dishes, but my husband likes to ask what's for dinner and is fed up of my "dinner on a plate" reply - so making up a new name works well!
A slow cooker is so indispensable in my home and nothing beats a busy morning of work, followed by an afternoon of mothering and errands to come back into the house to the wonderful smells coming from the kitchen, knowing dinner is there and ready and as a parent the benefit is, if your baby's bedtime is elusive you can 'shift eat', but neither of you has to eat cold food! All parents will understand how great that is! Well I saw these wonderful winter warmer recipes and felt I had to share them! Enjoy!
(and for anyone foxed by my term slow cooker - read crock pot!)
If you try and like any of these, let me know. If you have any easy and great similar recipes and want to share them, send them in!
