Recipe: Slow Cooked Jamaican Pork with Pineapple Salsa




We often enjoy pulled pork made in the crockpot so I was quite excited to come across this variation on a theme.  We like spice so the combination of pulled pork, Jamaican jerk spices and fresh pineapple felt like we took a little Caribbean holiday on a warm Summer evening.

School Sports Day


One of those days in the school calendar that parents approach with a bit of nervousness, despite the school's best efforts to remind the children that winning is not important....I don't for a minute believe any child really feels that way!

Recipe - Crockpot Lasagna



We love lasagna!  I have several different ones in my recipe box from the classic Italian meat version to chicken to veggie.  However, they are not always suitable for busy weeknight dinners as they need a long time in the oven.  I'm fortunate in that I can pop home at lunchtime to turn on the slow cooker so I took to experimenting a little and the end result was delicious!  A big thumbs up from the family.
