Food: Tuna and Sweetcorn "Macaroni" Cheese - Gluten-Free

Macaroni Cheese is definitely the meal the kids request the most as it is one that they can easily make themselves with me as their able helper. I've been experimenting with the macaroni cheese theme and while some, especially those involving tomatoes, were absolutely vetoed, this incarnation with tuna and sweetcorn won their express approval. They even asked for seconds and thirds, amid cries of "it's so good!" Mummy dream fulfilled right there!

Food: Mexican Venison Sausage and Bean Stew (Slow Cooker)

I've spent the month experimenting with my new kitchen toy. I've always hummed and hawed about whether or not to purchase a slow cooker but the need for comforting stews during the  cold weather and also the possibility of us redoing our kitchen this year provided a strong case in favour of me getting one. Venison is a meat that I enjoy eating in the winter and I decided to experiment with some venison sausages that I bought locally. An absolute winner and utterly delicious!
