Last week I switched up our normal mince beef tacos for slow cooker shredded beef tacos and now I don’t think my family will let me go back to using mince beef. The shredded taco beef is super easy to prepare and makes enough for two meals for a family of 4, which means you […]

Making Dump Bags for the Slow Cooker
In an attempt to make my Monday to Friday easier when it comes to dinner I have been making one or two dump bags on the weekend so that at least a couple of meals are prepared and ready to be “dumped” into the slow cooker before I leave for work. The reason I think […]
Slow Cooker Family Dinners
The cool change has definitely hit and it does have me a little worried as it seems to have hit a little earlier and a little chillier than it normally would on the Gold Coast. The cool change signals the start of slow cooker season. I did cook a few slow cooker dishes over Summer, […]
Slow Cooker Satay Beef
Even though the weather is still quite warm, I remind myself how much easier it is to plan a slow cooker meal once a week especially on a work night when we are home later, all a littler hungrier. This slow cooker satay beef is thick and delicious and was enjoyed by the whole family. […]

In an attempt to balance work and coming home late after school pick ups I am vowing to cook one slow cooker meal a week. I am hoping this will help combat the I AM STARVING comment from the boys every afternoon as we get home close to normal dinner time. This week is the […]
Slow Cooker Chorizo Minestrone Soup
This chorizo minestrone soup is so full of flavour you’ll be coming back for seconds. I have used D’Orsogna Mild Spanish Chorizo Salami to add a bucket load of flavour to what is normally a rather plain soup. As the chorizo cooks it unleashes all of its full flavour into the soup making for one […]
Slow Cooker Potato and Leek Soup

Rich Tomato and Beef Stew
The cooler weather is here and the sunlight hours are shorter which means by the time I pick the boys up from after school care and get home from work it is already starting to get dark and I have two hungry boys on my hands. I have started to use my slow cooker again […]
