"  I can't cook 
I wasn't the best either until I bought a slow cooker and it pretty much does it for you. All you do is prepare stuff n chuck it in  yea got one but no idea how much water etc you need to put in, lol anyone that's willing to show me how to cook I'm all for, I'd be forever grateful "
Just enough to whatever meat you put in it I use . Meat comes out melt in your mouth tender
Honestly if I can do it anyone can. The more of do the more confident you get and get more daring lol |

"Chicken legs/thighs, cooking chorizo, peppers, garlic, potatoes and onion. All in the same oven dish with some olive oil over it all. Perfect!!"
Sounds good.
I also like a good stew or soup with fresh bread. Or a roast. Or steak pie. Even a good lamb curry slow cooked all day can be great.

"Chicken Tikka Butter Garam Masala
Really enjoy butter chicken . Never made my own sauce though. That's on my to do list "
It's easy once you get the ingredients. Plus, once you've got the spices they'll last ages and do loads of meals.
Just need a good quality recipe. My ex has a few good books for Indian food.
If you want to use lamb or beef, a slow cooker works best. Or chicken thighs as they give a better favour.
If you want it fairly quick, chicken breast is better |

Chop chorizo, fry it off with no oil. Then fry some chopped chicken in the pan after moving the chorizo, add some garlic Italian seasoning and chargrilled chicken seasoning. Once browned add to the chorizo in a large oven dish. Then cook some wholewheat pasta and add to the meat. Pour over pasta sauce, stir. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan on the top and bake until golden brown in the oven. Lovely |

Yep I treated myself to a nice new spice rack yesterday so just waiting on it being delivered. Usually it's stockings and undies I'm ordering online now it's pineapple corers and spice racks haha ...
I'm doing slimming world so trying to keep it low fat as much as I can but started using quark as an alternative to cream for some of the things |

I love mince n tatties but never make it as they would all probably just look at me as If I'd gone mad.
My fave is steak pie for the winter, got a huge one in the fridge for dinner tomorrow

Good fat in coconut milk. Lots of fructose though which is really bad for you. |
