Slow cooking is so easy and it is all done in one pot, so hardly any washing up! There is rarely a day that goes by that I don't use it. The other day I cooked a whole chicken in it, who knew eh?!
Living in a homless hostel on such a low income I had to learn how to cook cheaply. I'm so use to cooking for a family of four and no matter how much I try to cook for one I still prepare enough for four! therefore I figure I'd give up trying and use this to my advantage. So, I have one portion for tea and freeze 3, which means if I do this with every meal for a week, I have enough meals for a month!
yesterday I made chicken fajita in my slow cooker. The season mix is from Lidle and only cost 23p (I think!) and it is so tasty. For the last hour of cooking I add noodles to soak up all the sauce created by the steam in the slow cooker
Add onion, peppers, ribbon one carrot and chicken
Sprinkle two of the fajita season mix and add about 200ml of water.
Cook on high 3/4 hours
cook on low 6/8 hours
add noodles for the last hour (optional)
I promise you will not be disappointed, it is a taste sensation!
That sounds wonderful - it has taken me some considerable time to get used to cooking for one after DH passed. Pity we don't get that mix here in small town New Zealand

Hi Maxine, maybe your local store will stock an alternative seasoning mix. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.

I do have some Cajun seasoning in the cupboard... I may try that. Thank you for your condolences... the pain is gradually easing as my life takes on a new normal, but it's been a rocky journey, compounded by burn out 12 months ago

Maxine I really feel for you and I couldn't agree more with you, it is about creating a new normal. You're doing great and the pain will continue to lessen with the passing of time. X
