All day fast food

I made this easy peasy slow cooker recipe today. It took about 5 minutes to prepare, and was deeeeelish!

Apple Mustard Chicken
8 chicken drumsticks
1 packet soup mix (I used mushroom)
2 large apples, cored and grated
1 tbsp grainy mustard
1 cup water

Place all ingredients into crock pot, and stir. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Serve with rice. Enjoy.

Beef casserole surprise

Winter is fast approaching in NZ. Much as I love the Kiwi summer, there are a few things I look forward to in winter: getting all cosy in front of the wood fire, and the slow cooker gets dusted down for a permenant spot on the kitchen bench. Three years ago, I'd never owned or used a slow cooker, but was introduced to the wonder of the Crockpot by one of my dearest friends Sarah.


At The Husband's request, I took some beef out of the freezer to make beef casserole. This morning I came into the kitchen to find that Milo Cat had found the beef and eaten most of it. Not pleased. Choice words said. Promptly got chicken (a.k.a. tomorrow's dinner) out of the freezer.

Cajun Chicken Wraps

1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
1 pkt onion soup mix
½ cup water
1 carrot (grated)
6 skinned & boned chicken thighs
¼ cup roasted peanuts
¼ cup natural yogurt
2 tbsp fresh coriander
4 flour tortillas

Mix seasoning, water and soup mix together. Place chicken into crockpot, add carrot, and peanuts. Pour over soup mixture. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Half an hour before the end of cooking, mix in yogurt and coriander.

Serve chicken in warm tortillas.

Delish!
