Slow cooker shredded chicken is one of those things that I make so often that I almost forget it’s worth writing about — until I realise how much I rely on it. I shared it in a five frugal things post recently but as I was making it again today, I thought it was worth a blog post of it's own. I used to make shredded chicken all of the time in my Instant Pot, but I don't have that anymore (which hurts me 😁) and for ages, I just stopped making it because it honestly never even crossed my mind to try making it in the slow cooker… until one day it did. This version of shredded … [Read more...]

I smugly buy a box of muesli, have one bowl, pour the rest into a nice storage jar... and then completely forget it exists. 😂A few months later, I'll find it tucked away at the back of the cupboard and wonder why I bought it in the first place.This week, when I found my latest box of muesli at the back of the pantry, while on a search for some stock cubes, I decided to turn it into a batch of homemade energy balls.Using muesli … [Read more...]
Easy Roasted Tomato Soup Recipe….
I wasn't planning on making soup this week, but then I spotted a 7kg tray of tomatoes at our local farm shop for just £5 and I couldn't leave them behind.
