I'm thinking of buying a slow cooker

[ChirpyGirl]

as I a finding it really knackering to cook 2 meals at the end of the day when the only prep time I get is nap time so would like a couple fo days a week off, there's a cheapy one in Argos
I want to be able to put food in during naptime (2ish) feed DD1 at 5ish and then DH and I at 8ish, would this work?
Any good recipes?

Apparently porridge is good too - you can do it overnight (to continue with the double entendres). Haven't yet tried it though.

I love rice pudding and got My First Slowcooker for Christmas, so will deffo be trying that out. Is it really worth making porridge in it? Normally I just do porridge in about 2 minutes in the microwave.

Are any of you veggies and still get lots of use out of your slowcookers? I'm really looking forward to having a play around with it but have a feeling that after I've done veggie sausage casserole, rice pud and a curry, I'll run out of ideas!

Hopeful bump?
