Our slow cooker seems to be un-usable at the moment. I don't know what happened, but the glaze cracked inside and outside, and the last time I used it, there were dots of black stuff on the outside of the ceramic pot...? Weird! Not game enough to use it again. *sigh* Looks like I will have to ring up the manufacturer and buy a replacement ceramic pot thing. I wonder how much that will be? I assume I did something incorrectly - I think once or twice I put the bowl in the sink and then later read that you shouldn't submerge it in water Anyway...Great. Awesome. (NO, I did not submerge the actual electronic part - I'm not that dumb).
Anyway. So I am getting our old one off my parents again to use, even though it is waaaay too big. I am just going to use it to make a big batch of minestroni soup, and a batch of mexican chili beans, and freeze them in portions.
Anyway, so this is our menu for the next week and a half. The 'week' actually started on Tuesday (two days ago)... I just got lazy, was supposed to post this a few days ago... SOrry!
Tuesday: Warm Rice Salad (Rice, Tuna, Cucumber, Capsicum & Parsley)
Wednesday: Grilled Vegetables mixed with cous cous, dried chopped apricots & drizzled with tahini-yoghurt.
Thursday: Home-made Burgers with avocado, lettuce, tomato, cheese, pineapple, beetroot & beef/vege patty.
Friday: Takeaway (Thai food = Yum!)
Saturday: Toasted Sandwhiches
Sunday: Sundried Tomato, Feta, Parsley & Garlic Stirred through fresh pasta
Monday: Nachos
Tuesday: Steamed Veges & Rice (lamb chop for DF)
Wednesday: Miso Soup, Somen Noodles, Tofu & Vegetables.
Thursday: Basil Pesto & Pasta with grilled vegetables & chicken for DF.
Friday: Home-made Sushi (tuna, avocado, tofu)

It inspired me to start using my crockpot more.

I have that crockpot and I love it. I use it at least once a week - more often in the winter.
