Slow Cooker Parsnip Soup

As a busy full time working mummy-to-be who just so happens to be completely refurbishing her whole house ahead of baby's arrival, I have no choice but to have my motto for cooking as, "throw it all in the slow cooker!"

We've just had our first flurry of snow and I was desperate to get into the Christmas spirit so rustled up a delicious festive parsnip soup... courtesy of the slow cooker of course. See my full recipe below. Try it, I know you'll love it just as much as we did!

'Spooking' Up A Halloween Buffet

I love Halloween... it genuinely is one of my favourite times of year. Dressing up, decorating the house, sweeties, chocolate, and lots of spooktacular fun! I usually find myself dressing up and hitting the town or throwing huge themed parties. This year however, I was of course pregnant. I was determined not to be left out of the fun so I found myself spending a day, a night and a morning creating a big Halloween themed buffet with my sister to serve up to the children. 

We came up with a range of spookylicious Halloween food ideas, and I'll be posting some of the recipes soon. Stay tuned!
