PK’s Slow Cooker Whole Chicken
This mouth-watering dish is designed to be super thrifty and dead easy to boot. I managed to use some old tired veggies and to get a free-range chook on special. I am also happy to say it took longer to eat the dish than it did to prepare it. I simply took a whole chicken,…

PK’s Pea And Ham Hock Soup

PK’s Slow Cooker Chicken Stock
This was the first time I have made my own stock. Up until this point I had thought it wasn’t worth the time and effort required. I couldn’t have been more wrong :). After a quick bit of prep I left it to its own devices overnight. In the morning I recovered the left over ingredients,…
