Anyone got any decent comfort dessert receipes. My DH is one to finish off with a pud, I don't.
Something that I can just bung in and leave would help

If you have left over bread butter both sides then spread on some jam cover with tin of evaporated milk and/or ordinary milk add sprinkle of sugar and sultanas and pop in oven for about 20mins nice and filling !

Nothing too exciting - I turned a cooked pork joint into a casserole, put it on at 10am and its now ready.

My OH just bought me a massive slow cooker. Think you could fit a turkey in there. Looking forward to trying it and will look through the thread for ideas

stovies tonight made with the leftover beef from our roast on monday. chucked in all the left over veg and a few tatties.

the person asking about garlic i never use cloves but i use lazy garlic in jars. i find it alot easier and more economic too.

YS stewing steak 1Kg, a tonne of root veg left over from the weekend (shopped for5/6 - not seen the teenage kids since LOL)

Looks like stew for dinner, with plenty for the freezer - I have loads of carrots, parsnips and potatoes still to use up - can anyone tell me if I can prep and freeze them raw, or would I have to part cook first?

spicy prawn and crab curry

fried an onion with garlic and lots of chilli paste, as well as 2 chopped leeks. put in to slow cooker and added half a big bag of frozen prawns, 3 tins of crab meat (from AF), a tin of chopped toms, ginger, chilli, black pepper and paprika. It has a thai/broth type feel to it!

Will serve with rice and top with slices of spring onion.

Will be left with lots of spicy broth I expect so will need to think of how I can use this up. Maybe noodle soup.
