Winter Warmers

With Winter well and truly upon us here in Tasmania, I'm finding the slow cooker a gem for these cold & gloomy days.  Sally Wise has a new recipe book out 'Slow Cooker 2', a fantastic book with heaps of great recipes.  Last night I tried the 'Spicy Tomato Meatballs', which were absolutely delicious, and at the moment the 'Sweet & Sour Pork' is making the house smell amazing.

 
Tomorrow I'll try the Herbed Pumpkin and Bacon Soup.

 
Having the slow cooker cranked up means that dinner and dishes are over and done with early, so I can get comfortable & relax in my chair with some crochet.

 
I have to admire these little Pansies, adding brightness to my Winter garden.
Have a great weekend!

Cheers....Jane.
