Slow Cooker Beef Stew
I’ve got to say I’m loving my slow cooker at the moment, never thought I would say that as I’ve not had the best experience so far. I popped to my mum’s last week and she was raving about her slow cooker beef stew so obviously I had to give it a bash. I’m pleased to say it turned out absolutely scrumptious I will certainly be making it again. Ingredients 3 Carrots Diced Beef/Steak 700g 1 Parsnip 6 New Potatoes 1 Leak 1 Small Swede 500ml Beef Stock 4 Tablespoons Gravy mixed with 300ml Water Salt & Pepper This recipe is very simple, peel and chop all veg and put…

Eats and Exercise
This week’s eats and exercise is here, I have strayed from the Lean in 15 books as of late and feel completely lost without them so, I’m using them this week. I thought I would share what I’m having for breakfast and lunch also this week. I’m trying to drink a litre of water a day, this doesn’t sound a lot but for me it is as I’m so rubbish at drinking water. Exercise wise, I bought a new kettlebell and have been loving it. I feel super achy the day after a workout and really enjoy working different areas with heavier weights. MEAL PLAN MONDAY Breakfast: Weetabix Lunch:…
