As the days are getting colder and the evenings are getting darker there is nothing more comforting to me than knowing that dinner is ready to serve straight from my slow cooker.
Mexican chicken is always a winner in our house, it is so versatile you can serve it with wholegrain rice, sweet potatoes, wholegrain wraps or simply on top of a large salad. We have had this chicken a few weeks in a row now with roasted sweet potatoes and a side salad and it has been perfect!

8th January 2015 at 2:08 pmI am tempted by the prospect of a slowcooker, but I am worried that we leave our house unoccupied for 9-11 hours per day. I have never left a stove, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, etc. on whilst being away as there are all kinds of wives tales about burning down the house. Does anyone have any advice/knowledge about this kind of topic? Are you guys putting these chunks of meat into your slow cooker, and then disappearing for a day at work only to arrive home to a wonderful smelling house filled with incredibly tender delights, and no scorch marks or fire crews?
