It has been bitterly cold in Canberra of late. Each day, when I open the blinds, I can see that someone two houses away has their fire going. I would love to have a fire place – however I don’t think that it would be very practical with two young boys {who are very adventurous}. So in an effort to keep my family warm from the inside out I have had some of my favourite ‘one-pot-wonders’ on high rotation.

I also love a good one-pot-wonder as the nights have become a little hectic around here. Mr Moo some times misses his nap and so can be falling alseep in his highchair if dinner is prompty on the table at 5:45pm, followed by a quick shower and bed. The Little Dude is also ready for bed around 7pm, so having the one-pot-wonder done and dusted early in the afternoon is a god-send some week nights.

One-pot-wonders can also be awesome for the budget as you can use cheaper cuts of meat – as the long, slow cooking will give you an amazingly tender and tasty result at the end.
