Christmas can be a busy time of year for so many people. It can take a lot of effort just thinking about all of the events and parties we have to go too. At this time of year I need easy but tasty meals that I can serve to my little family. I like to make dinners that I think other people can use if they are hosting a party as well. Personally I think this dish would be great to serve at a dinner party or I think we will be eating it on Christmas Eve. It’s a versatile dish that we all enjoyed. We hope you enjoy it too. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Orange and Ginger Slow Cooker Risotto was a hit with my little family. We really enjoyed this meal. It was an easy dinner to put together and as I mentioned earlier it would make a lovely dish to serve to a group of friends or relative. You could double the quantities. Unfortunately rice can not be frozen so you can’t make extra of this meal and freeze it. You can eat the leftovers the next day though. I wouldn’t leave it longer than a day. However you decide to eat this meal, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
