You need this in your life Mummy's...

I just made the ultimate perfect Mummy winters day dinner and it was the easiest thing to make EVER...

I looked at my slow cooker on the floor of my kitchen this morning, where it has been sat since Christmas, unopened and unloved...until today. 

At 11am this morning I decided to give slow cooking a go as my 'do something new today' challenge (it won't be a daily challenge, just when I feel like it.)

I chucked some diced beef, a bag of stewing veg (pre packaged, thank you Morrisons) a casserole mix, and 3 potatoes along with some water and left it all day in the slow cooker. 

At 6pm with the smell of stew wafting through the flat, I couldn't hold back any longer and dished up a massive bowl for myself. 

If you are a Mummy and do not have a slow cooker, get one now! You can make whole chickens, curry, soup, even puddings (can't wait to experement with puddings!) and all with minimal effort. 

If you make a large amount, you can put it in the freezer as an easy meal for when you are pushed for time. 

I have a feeling my slow cooker is going to be my new best friend, it's the best thing since sliced bread! (Which coincidently tastes lovely with a bit of butter dipped in stew.)
