Hi superkeen2save,
Welcome to Old StyleIf you look in the Complete slow cooker collection there are some vegetarian recipes.
Another couple of threads that might help you here:
Vegetarians and Slow Cookers
Slow cooker question
This thread should help with the shorthand: MSE abbreviations

Thanks Pink-Winged
One of these days I hope to be able to navigate these boards and threads as well as you!! (Currently still having teething troubles inserting smilies...doh!)
I've got some reading to do.....http://img.moneysavingexpert.com/smilies/sport-smiley-001.gif0 -
It is difficult finding your way around at first. If you look in sra's Unofficial A-Z, and click on smilies, that should help.

1. Microfibre cloths ...WOW, they're so good, bought some yesterday, gave my mum a demo of them on my mirror ...ended up cleaning all the surfaces in the front room!!!
I've even brought one into our office and started wiping everything. I've become obsessed with them!!!
2. Stardrops ...another good product although I've always had a bottle in since I got my own place as my mum swears by the stuff and always had some in the cupboard when we were growing up!0 -
i definitely have this forum to thank for discovering stardrops and microfibre cloths. my house has never been so sparkly!0

Ok - I've brought my slow cooker out of hibernation and also just 'had' to buy a big one.
BM - bought a decent one and gifted my old one
Microfibre cloths - already had a couple but they seem to have been breeding
Vinegar - mainly in the wash but I've also just succumbed to the Soapnuts too.
Kefir
Stick blender for my mum - I've had one for years.
I've brought my Kenwood Chef out of the back of the cupboard - as a result of which I am now the proud owner of a huge assortment of baking tins and pie dishes.
Microwave/freezer safe plastic storage tubs (ok - I was in the lakeland shop at the w/e)
Pressure Cooker - I managed to get given one
Hand Food Processor - don't have a need for a big one but needed something to chop large amount of onions for the curry sauces. I had one years ago but it got broken so it was replaced.
Hmmmm - haven't got round to the Stardrops yet (have had it in the past) as I am still working my way through all my other stuff.0 -
