I just love the bright colours of this dish! I usually buy normal orange sweet potatoes, which of course would work just as well in this dish, but tried out a purple sweet potato this time, so colourful. A veggie stew full of goodness is […]
Spicy and warming, this slow cooker coconut beef curry bubbles away in the slow cooker, the beef softening and flavours gently developing over the hours. Packed full of vegetables too, the butternut squash thickens the sauce naturally so there is no need to use a […]
Creamy, warming and so easy to make – slow cooker honey mustard sausage and leek casserole is a family favourite here. Sweetness from honey (I used Maille brand French mustard with added honey), warmth from the mustard, leeks which melt away, a creamy sauce which […]
A busy day calls for a dinner thrown in the slow cooker earlier in the day, so I can get on with that never-ending to-do list. My slow cooker pesto and sweet potato chicken is simple to prepare, tastes great and gets in a few […]
As the weather slowly improves and the start of Spring appears to have finally arrived, I like to enjoy comfort food still but with a healthier twist. My slow cooker butternut squash and lentil lasagne is a great filling veggie slow cooker dish and works […]

My fridge is finally free of leftovers and I have a need to make warming dishes to help ward off freezing cold, icy days. Curries are just what is needed. Bring on my slow cooker lamb curry, which is also packed with vegetables to make […]
Christmas is nearly upon us and in the busy run up to the actual holidays I can’t do without my slow cooker. A busy day finishing off Christmas shopping, putting up the tree and festive decorations and getting round to all those last minute jobs, […]
This week I’m sharing my recipe for an easy midweek meal, which goes down well with the whole family. My healthy sausage and potato bake is low in fat too as I used chicken sausages in place of normal sausages. It is easy to make […]
