Curried Prawns

Oh yummo!

I love prawns :D

Tonight's dinner was curried prawns. Same curry preparations that I use for the curried chicken just using prawns instead.

This time though, I processed the prawns so it was really fine throughout the curry, didn't tell the boys about prawns being in it so they ate it without complaint.

Still haven't told them they ate prawns yet hahahahahahaha

Slow Cooker

I am loving having a slow cooker. I honestly can't believe I didn't buy one years ago. Everything tastes so much nicer.

Here is my first meal made in my SC. Beef Stroganoff & Rice.


Chicken Curry made a few nights later. Didn't even have to add rice too it, just had some bread on the side.
Can anyone say YUMMY?
