A lovely dish that is easy to make and tastes great. Brown the meat first as this gives it flavour a slow cooker just cannot achieve.
This is a thick, delicious and healthy vegetable stew. It has carrots, pumpkin, cabbage and peas just to name a few. If it is thick enough you can serve over a baked potato.
Yes this is hot but I like chillies. This tastes even better the next day so is ok to leave in the fridge if it doesn't get eaten all in one go. It also makes a good nachos or taco sauce.

Here's enough chilli con carne to feed an army! It's a pretty hot recipe so you might want to adjust the fresh chilli and chilli powder to your taste.
There are tons of delicious spinach salad recipes out there. But this recipe holds a special place in my heart. We have been eating this in my family for years. My auntie contributed this spinach salad to a charity cook book, and we have all been sucking in the spinach with gratitude ever since. The original recipe contained fried bacon pieces. I substitute this for kidney beans, which is a fantastic alternative for vegetarians. You still get the protein, and also the splash of red colour.
Great salad to have with pasta. Great for a hot summer evening, tasty and easy to make.
This is a recipe that I got with my slow cooker but,, as with all my recipes, I have tweaked it a little. Also I sometimes leave adding the chilli till after it is cooked so I' can take out the kids' portions beforehand.

Mushroom caps make up the base of these healty mini pizzas. They are filled with kidney beans and fresh basil then topped with cheese and tomatoes.
Perfect for feeding a crowd, this is a tasty twist on the classic American recipe for baked beans. The variety of beans used gives the dish great flavour, along with the bacon. Try this for a break from the ordinary. If you don't have French's mustard to hand, substitute half a tablespoon of English mustard.
