This week’s menu is full of easy family dinner recipes that are sure to please everyone. Roasted beetroot salad, grilled chicken skewers, spiced pork chops and salmon with peach salsa. And why not finish your meal off with pie.
The thing I love most about the cooler weather is being able to just stick a meal in the oven and walk away whilst it cooks. I know this is the purpose of the slow cooker, but by using my oven I can be slightly less organised. I don’t have to put dinner on first thing in the morning to have it ready. And whilst I love the convenience of the slow cooker, you just don’t get the same crispy bits that you do in the oven.
In my autumn menu this week there are two tasty oven-baked meals that we really enjoyed. The lamb is great to feed a crowd, and if you are feeding a smaller number (like I am) then turn the leftovers into pie for a whole new meal.
Our spring menu is packed full of easy family dinner recipes that are sure to keep everybody happy. And don’t forget that every good meal ends with pie. Or at least it should. Enjoy!

I don’t often use the slow cooker because of that reason. I don’t start cooking until later in the day although if you worked out of home then the slow cooker would be good in that respect. These meals look great!

Thanks Lorraine 🙂 I do find the slow cooker to be a lifesaver when you are arriving home late, or for after school sport. But I do prefer my oven if I am just going to be home.
