YUMMY Devilled Sausages In The Slow Cooker

Slow Cooker Devilled Sausages

My 4-year-old babe is a sausage LOVER! He'll turn his nose up at pulled pork or a drumstick, but a sausage? Never! So in my quest to make things easier for myself I tried a few slow cooker sausage dishes. I did curried sausages and they were a flop and then I remembered the devilled sausages dish my mumma would make when I was younger. So I had a few go's at that and came up with this gem. It is SO rich and tasty, I reckon it would be just as yummy with gravy steak and baked in to a pie too. Oh and if you're wondering which sausages to buy? I have tried a bunch and the only 'crap-free sausages' I've found that aren't dry or have grissly hard bits are The Free Range Butcher ones in Sydney. Their preservative & additive free variety is the one I buy. You can buy them from a stack of markets around Sydney or have them delivered fresh to your door. They're SO GOOD!

Slow Cooker Recipe: Oxtail Ragu

Use the slow cooker to cook a delcious, thick and tasty ragu instead of the standard mince for a bolognese. It's quick, easier and I dare say, tastier. I love using the leftovers as a base for a shepards pie. Thinly slice some potatoes for the top, cover in cheese and bake for 30-minutes. Simple, 1 meal 2 ways. The recipe for this one comes from my 4-Week Slow Cooker Meal Plan. Where I'll teach you to cook delcious and easy meals in your slow cooker and use up all the leftovers in delicious new meals, night after night for a full 4-weeks.

Easy Asian Salmon Bake

This Easy Asian Salmon Bake has got to be my kids' favourite one-pan meal. They LOVE the miso sauce and always happily gobble up the veggies that are on the same tray, because they have the same taste. I often make this up and freeze it uncooked when I see salmon on sale. Oh, it's just as great with a white fish too. I often by leather jacket (cheap and local) and make it the same way. Snapper or barramundi would be great too, the skin would crisp up nicely.

Pecan and Maple Shortbread Cookies

These pecan and maple shortbread cookies sure are quick and easy! You need just 4-ingredients, a blender and a cookie cutter. They're perfect for birthday parties, christmas gifts and any old time really! Make them and share if you must ;)

Quick Egg & Zucchini Noodle Breakfast

Move away from the traditional toast and use a zucchini noodle to ‘hold’ your egg for a delicious breakfast. This one may look a little different but trust me, it’s a WINNER. The crunch of the raw zucchini works so well with the soft, gooey egg and crunchy seeds. The recipe for this one is in my 'Stace's Quick & Healthy Breakfasts' recipe eBook. It has a whole section of 'Make in under 5-minutes' recipes, just like this one.

Sticky Chicken In The Slow Cooker & Pressure Cooker

This sticky chicken recipe made in the slow cooker or pressure cooker sure is a popular one. It features in my 4-Week Slow Cooker Meal Plan. and everyone raves about how much their family loves it. I make it mostly in my pressure cooker because I find the heat ensures there isn't too much liquid left afterwards and makes everything very crispy. But if you have a little more time, go ahead and make it in the slow cooker, just cook down any of the liquid if it needs it. Any leftovers are yummy for lunch popped in rice paper rolls, rolled in lettuce leaves or just as is. Pressure Cooker Timing = 13 minutes, Slow Cooker Low = 3-4 hours, Slow Cooker High = 1.5 - 2 hours

Easy Cauliflower Pizza Base Recipe - That Doesn't Fall Apart

Sure there are a few steps in this easy cauliflower pizza base recipe, but let me help you look at it another way... You see, this cauliflower pizza holds together brilliantly when the cauliflower is really 'dry'. So why not do that part the night before and then pop the drained cauliflower in the fridge to really dry out overnight. That way all you have to do the tomorrow is blitz the cauliflower up and bake the pizza with perfectly dry cauliflower. Or, you could make the pizza up and do the first bake on night one and then when night two rolls around you can just top the pizza and cook it until lovely and crispy. These types of ideas are what I help all my One-On-One Health Coaching Clients master...you see; there are ALWAYS ways to speed up healthy cooking, you’ve just got to try new tricks. PS. This cauliflower base freezes a dream too!!!!Freezes a dream too.

Quick, gluten-free and dairy-free sandwich wraps that are perfect for the kids lunchboxes.

One-Pot Slow Cooker Mexican Beef

If you're like me, you love a slow cooker meal that is more than just meat. I want it to have a bunch of veg, ideally some great carbs and have the ability to be made in to multiple meals. This one-pot slow cooker Mexican beef is one of the most popular recipes from my 4-Week Slow Cooker Meal Plan. You can join and start the very same week here. Over 300 Mummas have done this course and LOVED it.

Healthy Apple Crumble With Hidden Veg

A few weeks back I went to a ‘degustation’ meal held by Weight Watchers. Stay with me here...I was sceptical because I am really against demonising foods, counting calories and eating ‘low fat’ foods, everything I thought them to be about. But I was surprised with this ‘No Count Option’ approach which can be good for overall health and losing weight because it doesn’t involve counting, measuring or weighing foods. It’s just about eating real food. Here's the thing, I put food on the table by being a one-on-one Health Coach for mummas, for me that personal way of learning is best, but I would be silly to think that my coaching is the only way every mumma can improve their health and lose a few kilos, it’s just not. Some people really benefit from group programs, and I say props to Weight Watchers for creating that and having a real, yummy and nutritious foods list that doesn't restrict you to ‘how many’ mouthfuls you can consume and uses real food to fuel the body. So I thought I’d whip up a yummy, wholesome family dessert using foods on their healthy food list; a delicious apple crumble with hidden veg. Note: This is a sponsored post for Weight Watchers 'No Count' option, you can check out more details on the plan here.

Simple Slow Cooker Satay Recipe

I'm gearing up for another round of my 4-week Meal Plan and this time I'm going to concentrate on really easy slow cooker meals and one-pan dishes you can pop in the oven and walk away. This super simple slow cooker chicken satay is just that. For me, slow cookers are my ticket to keeping organised and healthy in winter. This satay is packed full of veg and is so simple to make, you don't even have to cut the chicken. Give it a go and be sure to come over and join to the 4-week Meal Plan, we start really soon.

Fizzy Kiwi & Lime Ice Blocks

Kiwi and lime is a match made in heaven. I first tasted it together in a gummies recipe and was happy that the babes adored it too. So when the guys at SodaStream asked me to write them a recipe for the #sodastreamcreations campaign, I thought this sweet and sour combination was perfect. A little fizzy water, kiwi and lime, that's it. Give them a go, they're so refreshing.

Orange & Kombucha Gelatin Gummies

My babes love making these gut healing Orange & Kombucha Gelatin Gummies. The sweetness of orange juice and the fizz of the Kombucha is such a winner. They're a cinch to make, the fruit variations endless and boy-oh-boy will their bellies love you for making them. Take a read here of why gelatin is so great and check out the pics of us whipping them up, they really are SO EASY.

Gluten-Free Gingerbread Cookie Christmas Wreath

My little guy is off eggs, dairy and gluten whilst I help treat him naturally for eczema.. These dietary changes I've done have been working a treat and wherever I can (even over Christmas), I try and cook around them. But I didn't want him missing out on a yummy edible, cookie Christmas wreath. So I used this egg-free, dairy-free, gluten-free cookie recipe from Mummy Made.It and added some of my own gingerbread spices. I often make this recipe in to small tiny teddies for the babes’ lunchboxes – they store a dream in the freezer. After adding some gingerbread spices, I cut them in to big gingerbread men and then made them in to this edible cookie Christmas wreath. It may look a little tricky, but trust me, it's really-really easy! The secret is in the overlapping the alternate arms and legs of the cookies and letting them bake so they're really-really crunchy. Be sure to check out the video recipe of how I make the Christmas cookie wreath so you can make one like a pro too.

Sweet Potato Hash Brown Recipe

I’m all about one-tray breakfasts so much so I dedicated a whole chapter to them in my ' Stace's Quick & Healthy Breakfasts' recipe eBook.. See, I don’t mind spending a little time to get brekkie ready if I can walk away, change nappies, put a load of washing on and come back to a cooked breakfast. This veggie sweet potato hash brown fits the brief perfectly. And it’s extra easy if you grate the veg the night before. And if you're wanting things even quicker in the morning, grate the veg the night before. I do and have the babes lay it flat on the oven tray in the morning. My two always have seconds of this one, they LOVE it.

Made in minutes, devoured in seconds and freezing them is a dream. These have to be the ultimate healthy biscuits. I make a double batch for my little man that eats an egg-free, dairy-free, gluten-free diet.

Kids Sweet Carrot Soup Recipe

I'm all for a soup recipe that is hardy enough to keep hubby happy and sweet enough to get the kids to gobble it down. This roasted carrot vegetable soup is just that. Go ahead and make your bone broth like I do here in my slow cooker, and roast the carrots the night before when the oven is on. Then it becomes the simplest and TASTIEST week night soup there is.

Healthy Breakfast Muesli Bar Recipe

I'll often make a double batch and freeze them for those crazy busy mornings. Truth is they're great straight from the freezer.

Paleo Chicken Strips

These Paleo Chicken Strips are gluten-free, egg-free, wheat-free and grain-free so they're perfectly Paleo in-fact.

We love eating it cold the next day, the babes call it 'brekkie cake'. It even freezes a dream, just chop it in to portions for busy mornings.

Best Healthy Easter Fish Pie Recipe

I LOVE this Healthy Fish Pie Recipe. Truth is, I'm a huge fan of fish pie and so are my babes, but I rarely make them because I don't have the will to make a cheese sauce from scratch or thaw pastry for the top. This healthy fish pie is perfect take on a traditional pie, only better. It's ideal for Easter entertaining as it's quick to make, especially if you use your food processor and use the grater function! Huzzah!

I love these because not only are they super awesome for breakfast, they are just as great added to the kids’ lunchboxes (keep them cold) or frozen to use on a busy morning. The recipe makes 20 bars so you’ll have lots of leftovers. If you’re not an apricot lover, feel free to either leave them out or replace with a different fruit. Catering for an allergy: Dairy free: Switch the butter for coconut or macadamia oil Fructose free: Leave off the apricots and use only rice malt syrup in the bars Wheat free: Use quinoa or rice flakes instead Nut free: Make the recipe as is. If nuts aren’t an issue feel free to sub the mixed seeds for your favourite nut and the tahini for a nut butter.

Healthy Frozen Berry Oat Slice

This healthy frozen berry oat slice is a winner. It was the first thing that went at the babes birthday and I had messages all week from friends asking for the recipe. It’s egg free and the best bit is you can tweak the ingredients to make it dairy and/or gluten free if you need. You could sub the flour for a mix of rice and buckwheat flours, change the oats to quinoa flakes and you could even sub the butter for coconut oil. I love making it with my babes and adapting whatever frozen berries I have on hand to mix up the flavour. It’s equally as good with fresh stone fruit and thinly sliced apples.

Gluten & Grain Free Bread

This is a great recipe for lunch boxes. It’s grain free and contains no nuts. I started making this bread a few months ago when little P wanted a sandwich for preschool but being on the GAPS protocol, the only paleo style breads around contain tapioca which is a starch thats not GAPS friendly and/or full of nuts thats not school lunch box friendly.
