I’ve submitted “Easy Lasagne in the Slow Cooker”. It’s a winner!! Enjoy 🙂
Oh MY! Sounds delicious!
I’ve submitted Roast Tomato Risotto!
YUM!
I just submitted “Natasha’s Bliss in a Bowl Bolognese”… its a simple recipe but makes the most amazingly rich and obscenely divine bolognese! Thick and chunky and an enormous quantity that freezes well, so you can give containers to friends who’ve had babies, or moved house, or renovated kitchens, or been sick… or have just bribed you enough! Plus its handy when picky in-laws just happen to drag their visit on until dinnertime and you have to whip up something gourmet in moments – out of the freezer and onto some pasta and PRESTO! Dinner is served!
Gorgeous
