I’m not sure about you, but I LOVE our crock pot, it saves me so much time and is a super easy way to cook for the whole family. However it seems to get the most use in winter, but really the summer months when we are out and about is the time when I really need its time saving abilities. So The Mad Butcher asked me to share my favourite summer crock pot meals so easy and nice and light.

CHICKEN MARBELLA
I have been making this Chicken Marbella for over 10 years and it is still one of my favourites and a crowd pleaser. It's so easy to make, which means it's perfect for when you have a lot of people to feed but still has that wow factor. I know some of these flavours sound like a weird mix but it gives the perfect sweet and sour flavour. A few people said they hated olives, if that's the case then they can be left out and it won't ruin the dish. I find this best served over cous cous with the extra juices spooned over the top.

I used to hate asparagus, I mean the smelly wee was enough to put me off let alone over cooked mushy grossness! That was until Jay taught me to cook Asparagus properly with this amazing recipe. Have a mentioned Jay was a home ec teacher in his previous life? No lie he taught at Tauranga boys in his early 20's before being hand-picked from MCing a Surf Comp to be the new male MTV VJ in the min 2000's. Anyway, i snapped about this recipe a month ago and I swear daily i have to tell people how to cook it and the results is always a resounding YUM. SO I have finally got sick of snapping back and have put it down here for you all to enjoy. I am no food blogger so excuse my amateur food photography but I hope you enjoy.
