Pork roast in a bag- Slow cooker recipe

Pork roast in a bag- Slow cooker recipe


Fancy a roast dinner but don't want loads of washing up afterwards or having to stand over a hot oven for long time then why not do it in a slow cooker :)!!!

• Joint of Pork
• Potatoes cut to the size you require
• Any Vegetables
• Gravy
• Bake in bag
• Yorkshire mixture (2 medium eggs, 2 heaped table spoons self raising flour, 2 heaped tables spoons  plain flour, 4 table spoons milk mix together. Makes roughly 8-12)

Pop the cut potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker then place a little bit of water in the bottom then pop the veg on top, you can do this either way round. I cheated this time round and got frozen vegetables as haven't got any fresh vegetables in at the moment. 

Then pop the joint of pork inside the bake in bag and pour the mixture in and move the joint all about in the bag (mine is a garlic & herb one from Morrisons with picture of chicken thighs on the front. Loosely tie it and place on top of the vegetables.

Pop slow cooker on low for 4 hours and med- high for 3 hours it does all depend on slow cooker. After then i took the joint out and popped it on a baking tray along with the potatoes just to make them crispsy, whilst the Yorkshire puddings were cooking in the oven. Whilst they are in the oven make up some gravy and pop it in slow cooker with the vegetables. Once Yorkshires are done serve all the food and Enjoy :)!!!

What do you like to have for a Sunday roast dinner??? Comment below :)Look forward to hearing what you have... 

Fakeaway Slowecooker recipe

Fakeaway Recipe (Homemade Doner Kebab)

• 500g Lean Lamb Mince (can be done with any mince if you don't like lamb)
• Pinch of Cayenne Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Oregano Dried
• 1/2 teaspoon Dried Mixed Herbs 
• Pinch Of Garlic Salt
• Sprinkle Of Salt 
• Sprinkle Of Black Pepper
• 1/4 Dried Italian Spiced Herbs
• Pitta Bread
• Salad
• Tin foil

Put the Mince in a bowl and pop in each ingredient at a time and mix all together. Now this is the fun part start beating and punching it all as you need to beat it real hard to mix it right in and to get any air gaps out of the meat (this is to stop it from going dry!)

Shape the meat into a loaf shape and wrap in tin foil. When all done get some foil balls and place them in the bottom of the slow cooker. I always pop a little water in the bottom of the slow cooker just to cover the bottom as don't like using it dry. Pop about 4 holes in the bottom of the wrapped meat and pop the loaf on top of the foil balls with holes facing downwards this helps the fat to drain out and wont be sitting in its fat. Pop the slow cooker on high for 3-4 hours, low 5-6 hours (may vary for each slow cooker)

Dont be tempted to lift the lid whilst its cooking as it take a while for slow cookers to regain there heat. Check just before it should be done and see if the meat cooked. Once cooked use a potato peeler to thinly slice your meat. Heat up the pitta bread for few minutes under grill. Pop meat into sliced pitta bread with some salad and enjoy :)!!

Review; lima bird print t-shirt ash grey (Weird Fish)

I went for the ash grey. They come in sizes 8 all way to size 20 :)!! When this top arrived in postage packaging the packet has weird fish written on the outside of it so if its a prezzie for someone need to hope they don't see it. The top is such a lovely fit with flying flamingoes over it. The collar and the arms are slightly rolled up and sits very nice upon the body.I find with quite a few top never sit right on me and always seem to rise up but this top hasn't done this at all and really loving it. I find this top can go with near enough everything jeans, leggings, jeggings would even go with shorts in the summer.
The top is 100% cotton and needs to be washed on 30 cold wash.

I have washed the top and to dry I popped it on a airer to dry. The top still looks brand new after using washing and drying :).

Review; Daewoo with fat fryer microwave

So happy to be accepted to review a microwave from AO :)!!!! My one was on its way out so this came at the best time ever! I received the microwave few days after being accepted. It arrived but there was a fault that when was on microwave setting it wouldn't heat up. So contacted the company and they had a new one out to me within few days and was delivered on a Sunday amazing service :)!!!  You can find the microwave here at a price of £149. This not just any standard microwave. It has microwave, grill, oven, home fryer, steamer (to clean oven). defrost. Also goes into eco mode after hasn't been used for little which is after 10 mins with no activity  to save energy which is absolutely great :)!  also has a cooling mode after it has finished one con about that though the cooling is a little loud but doesn't go on for long. Everything works quite well.

The microwave setting,

You just have the glass plate in there and set the time to how long you need it on for by turning the dial and then selecting start.

Convection oven, Combination cooking or Auto cooking menu 5

You can use the convection cooking with pre heat setting by selecting the temperature you need then press start it will then pre heat and then pre heat you then select the time you need to cook for by turning the dial and selecting the amount of time and then press start. Or just have it so you put food in right away and cook without pre heating it.

Oven cooking pizzas,cakes

Same as the oven cooking but with a rack.

Home fryer, 

There pre set functions for this or you can set your own time to cook. They do come out a little crispy if cooking say chips but i have found not all of them to. Its a trial and error with this. They do taste quite nice though. In the manual is a guide of times to cook stuff and always recipes you can make and use the home fryer. 

Overall i really do love this microwave has so many things can cook in it from cheese on toast to chips :)!!.  Just remember DO NOT use the metal try in the microwave function. 

Why not check out my Youtube video review i done on this microwave as well you can see that here

Review; Shloer mothers day gift

So Shloer asked if I would like to review a bottle of their drink and also have a gift sent (bottle bag with some paints) This was so my could make a lovely mothers day gift by painting on the bag for me :)!!! Such a lovely thing to do and I knew Ethan would love to do this. I got sent the Celebration Pink Fizz.

So when it arrived we decided to try some of the Shloer. It had quite a strong flavour to it and quite a fizz to almost as if your drinking champagne but without the alcohol in it. So really good for people who cant drink alcohol. Even so good to have for kids if your having a celebration and the adults have champagne the kids then can have this so they join in with the celebration :). 

It even has a popping cork to make it look like your opening a bottle of champagne to. All Shloer drink have no preservatives, artificial colours, sweeteners or flavourings. 

Ethan absolutely loved painting the bag for me for Mothers day to and gave it to me on mothers day with big smile on his face saying here mums this is for you :). The bag very strong and sure can find many thing to use it for.

Ethan loves anything that includes crafts and paints so was so happy to be able to do this for me.

Hope you all had a wonderful mothers day :)!!! 


Shloer can be brought in many supermarkets for as little as £2.50 most prices between that and £3.00.
You can head on over to there website here and see what other ones they have to offer and also they run competitions quite a lot to. Why not give it a try and enter you never know.

Sponge cake with hint of chocolate- Slow Cooker Recipe

Yes cake you heard that right cooked in a slow cooker :)!!!! mmmmm yum!!!!

• Cake Liner ( Brought mine from poundland picture below)
• 120g Butter
• 170g Sugar
• 3 Eggs
• 300g Plain Flour
• 1tsp Baking Powder
• Chocolate Spread

This is the cake liners I have used

Pop one of the cake liner in the bottom of the slow cooker, not all will ft mine sat in a oval shape in there. 

Pop the sugar and butter together in a bowl and cream them together. Pop the eggs in one at a time and mix together with the egg and sugar. If using a electric whisk use on medium setting. Next pop the flour and baking powder in the mixture and set the whisk on high and mix the mixture all together the mixture shouldn't be runny but shouldn't be to thick either. Then pour all the mixture into the cake liner. Get a little bit of chocolate spread on a spoon and swirl it all in mixture do this about times and will get the marble effect look. 

Can add anything else like some lemon zest in it to if fancy a little change. Next step is to pop a tea towel on the top of slow cooker then put the lid on top the reason for this is to stop condensation dripping down on the cake as that will stop it from rising. 

Pop the slow cooker on high and cook for 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Some slow cookers may vary so take a very quick peak when has been about 1 1/2 hours and pop knife through it, if the knife has some on it not done if its clean its done. 

Take the cake out once done and pop on a cooling rack once done decorate or leave plan and serve with custard :) ENJOY!!
