Once you make a Slow Cooker Butternut Squash, you will ever want to roast or boil one ever again!It is so easy to do and once cooked, you can try this tasty mid week family meal.

With autumn in full swing now, and the nights drawing in dark thanks to the clocks going back this weekend, it is definitely slow cooker/crockpot time and there is nothing better than leaving something cooking away while you go about your daily routine, and then have it ready to eat when it is meal time. One way of saving time, is to cook a Slow Cooker Butternut Squash in your crock pot and then use it in meal for your family.

With the weather being a little more autumnal recently, I have started using my slow cooker again. I love my slow cooker – such an easy way to make a great tasting meal for my family, which makes the meat so tender and full of flavour.

Crock-Pot 4.7L Countdown Slow Cooker Review & Giveaway

Jenny PaulinNovember 8192 Comments

I love my slow cooker. I have owned one for several years now (not the same one of course, as a couple have had to be replaced as time has gone on), and I love the fact that you can literally ‘bung’ a load of ingredients in, set the heat setting and leave it to do all the hard work for you while you go about your day to day routine. When I used to work, it was so nice to come home to a meal that was already cooked and the house would would be filled with the aroma of my dinner making me even more hungry! Each time after I gave birth to both boys, the slow cooker was a real help in making sure I could have a meal ready for my OH and I.

Slow Cooker Chocolate Rice Pudding

Jenny PaulinNovember 6August 91 Comment

I have owned a slow cooker for several years now – probably at least 15 years and in all that time I have never cooked a dessert in one! Considering how much I love puddings, this is a surprise even to me! On Friday while it was still October, or for users of the crockpot #Crocktober , I decided to break my slow cooker pudding ‘cherry’ and I decided to make a rice pudding, a real comfort food for this time of year.

Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon

Jenny PaulinOctober 24August 219 Comments

This Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon is a perfect winter warmer and can be cooked until the meat is tender and falling apart. delicious!

With the weather feeling much cooler now, it is definately time to cook some winter warmers. Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon is a great example of this. It also means that it is time to get the slow cooker out. Knowing that I can place all of my ingredients in my slow cooker/crock pot first thing, and leave it all day to cook slowly is perfect when you have a busy day to get through.
