Product Information

I have so much to tell you my friends. In case you want to skip right to it.. I’ve written a RECIPE BOOK FOR YOU! That prompted a collection of summer slow cooker recipes that were great for the warmer months and meant moving away slightly from stodgier dishes like traditional stews. It’s that time of year when we need simplicity. We need healthy, hearty, ideally low-cost meals that don’t take up too much energy to make and are going to see us through our January hibernation. It took some getting my head around, and then I realised it made sense… no hot and sweaty cooking over a hot stove – perfect! And no cooking later in the day when we’ve had our fill of a hot day. This blog is about how I feed my family whilst busy juggling life. I originally named it as I thought I’d write about parenting, but predictably it ended up being all about food because:

I like to serve this with a little lemon sauce, made by mixing 75g of mayonnaise with 75g Greek yoghurt, the zest and juice of one of the lemons and 1tsp honey. Brown the mince in oil over a medium high heat. Add the garlic, ginger and green beans and cook for a further 5 minutes.Take the unpeeled garlic bulb (yes a whole bulb!) and wrap up in tin foil. Place alongside the meat parcel in the slow cooker. In the shopping list I’ve put a cheaper mince option (10% fat). I prefer to use a lower fat mince like 5% but it is up to you and what your budget will allow. Yes! The texture may be a little courser than the slow cooker version, possibly not quite as juicy, but it will still be delicious. In the fridge This is so good eaten either cold or reheated well the next day because the flavours have had time to marinate. Definitely worth making a little extra for.

Let me know how you got on and what you thought of these recipes. Please rate the recipe using the ⭐️ below.

The process of frying, heating it to a hot temperature until it browns, changes the flavour compounds in the meat, basically adding a depth of flavour.First you add cornflour to a small bowl, mug or jug, then use a little liquid from the dish (a spoonful or two) to mix the cornflour into a paste consistency. I’ve always loved eating, does that count? My mum cooked with me when I was a child which gave me a good start. I find the routine of a home cooked dinner each night, in a busy and sometimes fraught world, very comforting. For my 16th meal plan I really wanted to create another weekly signpost to some of my super speedy recipes that can be on the plate in 30 minutes or less. What’s more, they’re cosy and comforting to see us through another cold January week. In the freezer This recipe freezes well. Just wait until it’s totally cold and then put into a freezer proof container and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost thoroughly before reheating.

Taming Twins Toad in the Hole {Foolproof Recipe!} - Taming Twins

Maybe think about doubling up and freezing a recipe or two where the recipes are suitable, so save cooking another day or for the weekend. Quite new to taming twins… Started watching across various social media platforms. Wanted to use up some mince, so thought I’d give it a try. This is a well-known fact in Yorkshire Pudding-land. But I repeat: DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR until at least 25 minutes into the cooking time. If you do, your batter will sink.

It always end up okay but not great.
