As the weather is now warming up I don’t use my slow cooker as often. I like cooking in the slowcooker as I double quantities for left-overs I keep in the freezer for those busy nights after sport. However, most meals I cook in the slowcooker are casseroles. Frost Bite is a cookbook filled with easy, freezer friendly, family meals, giving more variety in meals to our busy weeknights. I’m looking forward to trying Chicken, Leek & Thyme Risotto and Chewy Coconut Brownies ~ Kat – The Organised Housewife.
Here is this weeks meal plan:
Monday – Beef, broccolini and rice noodle stir fry
Tuesday – Zucchini and cherry tomato tart from FROST BITE
Wednesday – Penne pasta with meatballs made from Italian sausages, cooked in a bottled tomato pasta sauce
Thursday – Pesto chicken with grilled vegetables (from Women’s Weekly – chicken thighs are covered in store-bought sun-dried tomato pesto then barbequed) plus roast potatoes
Friday – Chilli con carne with rice, from FROST BITE (in the freezer)
Saturday – Homemade pizzas: Margarita or Hawaiian for my daughters; bacon, rosemary and chilli flakes for the grown-ups.
Sunday – Sausage sizzle and salads
Baking– Mars bar and marshmallow slice from FROST BITE for a kids’ party & Carrot and Walnut cake

Zucchini and cherry tomato tarts (FROST BITE) – the picture shows individual tarts (great for entertaining) but I make one large tart in a pie dish as it’s easier for a family meal (FROST BITE)
