Even during the warmer weather I still like my little family to eat a hot meal in the evening. I know it seems crazy but I think they would miss a warm dinner. We are British and what is it they say, ‘only made dogs and Englishmen go out in the mid day sun.’
Plus I know they wouldn’t eat a plate of salad for dinner. Therefore to save me from standing at a hot stove on a summers day I like to use my slow cooker. It makes my life easier and my family are happy to have a hot dinner on the table.
Do you still cook in the summer and if so, what’s the hottest meal you have cooked on a warm summers day? Let me know in the comments below and please don’t forget to like and follow me.

Slow Cooker Pork and Milk Stew was a delicious dish that my little family enjoyed. Although this meal doesn’t look like the tastiest meal dish appearances can be deceptive. It was lovely and my family enjoyed it as well. All the ingredients are freezable so you can make a big batch and freeze it for another occasion. However you decide to eat this meal, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
