I borrowed a colleagues slow cooker and made a really simple lamb stew. This dish is so hearty and comforting and also freezes really well.
Even though we’ve only just started on our Whole30 journey I can already see just how important being organised is to our success! If you have healthy options there and ready to go there can be no excuses for slip-ups!
We bought a whole lamb a few months ago and I asked the butcher to keep all of the bones so I could make my own stock. It’s so simple (recipe to follow!)
Lee (my fiancé) with the whole lamb we bought. Plenty of bones for a homemade stock!
The actual preparation for this stew takes 10minutes and then you just let the slow cooker do it’s thing!
