UMV93 - Better than being a stick in the mud…

It was a busy week.. from helping to clean to pulling pints and trying to catch up on work, I have not stopped for the last 7 days. I do feel like I'm in a bit of a "get stuff done" phase as I have no idea how the upcoming treatment is going to affect me.
An absolutely fab weekend was had at Willow Fields though, I didn't record any of the karaoke, dirty raffle, food, fun and alll the people but I can assure you, a great time was had - the only thing to make it better would be not running out of beer and better weather - it's been sunshine all the time since the last van was towed off.
Now on to the next one - down to Campervan Campout then jump on the plane to Spain.

    Ooo, must try making greek yoghurt in my Instant pot. I love mine, gets used heaps. I like how I can cook the entire meal in one pan. My favs are Spag Bol and Chicken & bacon pasta - I put grated carrot in recipes instead of Onion as we don't like it - gives a lovely thick creamy sauce - great for sneaking veg in for toddlers, teens or John! Also love how quick I can cook chicken breasts and beef in really rich sauce/gravy. Since I got the Instant Pot and my Air Fryer in the Black Friday sales last year (thank you Gadget John for the tip on those!) I haven't used the oven! Must experiment more... Will you add some Instant Pot recipes to your cookbook/UMR videos too? (when you get time & energy to do more recipes). How's the Decaff going?

    Ah pasta dishes will be back soon. We bought a lot of freezer stuff for when we might need quick easy to make food but I like the sneaking of veggies 😂 have you ever tried “crack chicken”? Rather unfortunate name from America and it’s frozen chicken, brown rice and stock with lots of dill, garlic and onion powder (which you could leave out) then when cooked you shred the chicken, add Greek yogurt and bacon and combine with salt and pepper, I put sweetcorn in and have a side salad but it’s amazing!!!! So tasty and you can’t stop eating it so the name fits 😂 I think I will put some instant pot recipes on both, one of the best things about having them here are the additions and extra ideas people give - like you just have, I’ll then feature a subscriber hint in the book 😁👍🏻
