I’m loving my new crock-pot/slow cooker which I bought for half price in a recent sale. I’ve used it more times in the past two weeks than I used my old one in the previous two years. Funny how having something shiny and new make you want to use it more!

I love Lamb Shanks and thought I’d adapt my old recipe and give it a whirl. Well the results were outstanding. Melt in your mouth delish, so very yummy!

And the best part was that the lamb shanks I used were huge so we had enough for three meals so we have eating them for the past two nights in a row and the rest is in the freezer for another time. I’m picking that it probably won’t last too long in the freezer!

I’ve also featured this on Gluten Free Wednesdays.

So, who doesn’t love burgers, the ultimate fast food. All that yummy tastiness eaten with your hands – and the first bite where it squishes everywhere, delish! Or if you are a neatnik and don’t go for the ooze, then cut and forking that first bite is just as great.

Just because we are eating healthy whole foods doesn’t mean we have to give them up. We just make them ourselves, and instead of wrapping them in a carb, grain and gluten laden bun, we wrap them in a large lettuce leaf or make our own paleo bun (but that’s for another day).

I totally love them in crispy, iceberg lettuce – give them a try, and I guarantee you’ll be hooked too!

Roast vegetables are pure comfort food for me. They bring back memories of my mother and grandmother’s roast nights. Big chunks of vegetables lovingly basted in beef dripping, sitting in with a chicken and all the flavours melding together. The flavour of roasted vegetables in duck fat brings those memories back.

This is a really easy recipe you can quickly prepare and throw into the oven. An ideal dish to make as it is just as delicious served hot as a side dish or served cold the next day as a salad. You can vary the quantity of your vegetables depending on what you have and what you like.
