Hello!
Is it raining where you are? It's DISMAL here today.
I've still not quite got back into the groove with meal planning yet, children's activities, play-dates and birthday teas are playing havoc with my routines. This week really isn't any different so I'm going simple and easy (easy being a takeaway at least once!). This is what it looks like for me;
Macaroni cheese
Chicken curry & rice
Lasagne & salad
Chinese takeaway
Fajitas
I normally do Jamie Oliver chicken fajitas but I fancy trying something different this week, so will look for some inspiration in a little bit. I'm eating out one night too for a friends birthday.
I really need to start making use of my slow cooker. What I need to know though because I am paranoid and slightly OCD is are they a fire risk? Seriously. Has anyone had a slow cooker fire? I've become paranoid recently about leaving appliances plugged in and switched on, I'm even driving myself crazy and the thought of leaving something like a slow cooker plugged in sends me into a cold sweat! Advice please?
So here is the Linky for #mealplanningmonday, fill your boots! If you're new and not sure what's going on please ask - but basically just share your blog post about what you're eating this week below. If you don't write a blog, just leave a comment!
Look forward to catching up with all your blogs later this week.
Mac and cheese is perfect for a rainy day!
ReplyDeleteOur slow cooker will be making an appearance this week. I was a little worried at first about leaving it on while out but I've not had any issues with it as yet - no fires here!
ReplyDeleteA lovely planner x
Our slow cooker is back out now, and i love it. No fires here either :)
ReplyDeleteI have used my slow cooker several times, and it's also got a rice cook setting with a delay which I've used without any problems. They're no more dangerous than any other kitchen appliance, such as a fridge which you leave plugged in - it doesn't create a huge amount of heat (because it cooks low, slowly) and it uses less electricity than a light bulb. Go for it! They cook things beautifully.
ReplyDeleteOoh yes, macaroni cheese, just what I need tonight!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of any slow cooker fires, didn't stop me not buying a slow cooker til last year though!
