A blog full of food with a little craftyness thrown in!
What’s better than a sausage casserole on a Sunday evening? A sausage casserole with ale, of course! You may remember back in October I wrote about Crocktober with my Bakewell Macaroni Pudding. Well, as part of the ongoing celebration of all things slow-cooked, Crock-Pot challenged […]
I was recently contacted by Crock-Pot as they wanted to tell me about something they are calling Crocktober. Rather than all of those October events that try to make you give up on things, Crocktober encourages you to break out the Crock-Pot and celebrate all […]

This is one of my go-to desserts for the slow cooker. It is so easy and yet so delicious you will want to make it again and again! I used my new Netherton Foundry slow cooker for this recipe again and was very impressed with […]
