Hi! go to recipezaar and search crock pot (two words), some great ideas. there's also a crock forum in the community. I use the oven cook-in bags in my crock - marinate some chicken/fish or whatever in the bag, add stock/wine to give some liquid and then loosely tie the bag and place in the crock for 4 ish hours, it's pretty flexible, you can add potatoes and veggies and a bit of extra liquid and youi have a meal done... you can also do it with foil - I just adapted this from Jamie Olivers meal in a bag recipes, I'm sure you've got his books
ReplyDeletebeen catching up with your blog, some beautiful pics
oh and I'd love to trade the campari marmalade recipe, never heard of that, personally I can't stand the stuff, but hubby loves it and I guess it would be much more interesting for me to make it with such an ingredient
enjoy your vid and early night, I need one too!
