    Yesterday I did pork shoulder in cider with parsnips, celery and carrots.

    Today I used two LO lamb shanks, lentils, parsnips, carrots and stock. Served with rice and spices sticky cabbage. Fantastic!
  • Carrots, onion, potatoes and beef stock. Will add a chopped tin of corned beef later for corned beef hash (Irish/Yorkshire style)
  • Yesterday was pulled pork. Tomorrow will be pork and chickpea curry.
    April £5 a day challenge- £15.05/£150
  • I made this massaman beef curry yesterday. I put all the ingredients in the SC raw and used crunchy peanut butter and it was lovely. DD 8 loved it too:-

    Hi, quick question.. how long do you leave those last 2 recipes for on your SC? I would like to leave mine on when I'm at work, but 8 hours at medium seems too much, and I tried the low setting once and it didn't seem to cook enough...

    I use a light timer switch so that it turns on at lunch time and is done when we get home at night.

    I want to make lamb hotpot in my slow cooker tomorrow while I'm at work. I have prepared ie- peeled and sliced potatoes in water in fridge, peeled and sliced onions and carrots and left in fridge, lamb ready, and am using a Colmans packet mix
    My plan is to brown off the veg and meat and place in slow cooker by 7AM (along with sliced potatoes on top), but I won't be home until 7.30. Will it be ok, or should I use my plug in timer? I was thinking of making it slightly more watery so it doesn't dry out, my cooker tends to cook fast even on low.
    Any sugestions as to how I should time it?
  • Is there anybody there??

    Today I did some stewing beef with lots of veg, small amount of water gravy granules, oxo, tsp each of course grain mustard, horseradish sauce, n lazy garlic.
