A few weeks ago, I made homemade chicken stock in my slow cooker for the first time in ages so I thought I'd share it with you.It's not hard to make and the results are amazing so I'm not sure why or when I stopped making it on a more regular basis but now that I've made it again and realised how much better food tastes with homemade chicken stock rather than when it's made with stock cubes then I'm pretty sure I'll be making it again... and again...When I cook a chicken for Sunday Lunch I can get enough chicken from it to do that one meal and then one other meal which just needs … [Read more...]

Soothing Homemade Vapour Rub….
It's that time of year when everyone seems to be suffering from sniffly noses and sore throats! I thought it was probably a good time to share my amazing homemade Vapour RubLast Christmas (not the one just gone, the one before) we were all chock full of cold from the weekend before the kids broke up for school until well into January - possibly February if I remember rightly. The kids especially were coughing so much that even when they had the energy to actually get dressed and do something, I was reluctant to let them venture outside as the cold on their chest brought on coughing … [Read more...]
