In our hectic lives there is very little time to be creative when it comes to cooking on a daily basis. When do you get the time to peruse all those glorious cook books and glossy magazines for new ideas? With a little clever meal planning, you can put a new meal on the table every day of the month. This saves your time, money and your sanity!Make a meal plan based on what's on sale that week. If roast beef is on sale, plan a dinner around a slow cooked slow cooked leg of lamb with apricots dinner. If another store has potatoes on sale, plan another night to make potato soup.Fill the slow cooked leg of lamb cooker leg of lamb between 1/2 to 2/3 full of food. Too full may not allow the food to heat up quickly enough. Likewise a cooker that is not full enough will not heat properly either. Use the correct size crockpot for the recipe.You can line the crockpot with an oven cooking bag before placing the food in. This makes slow cooker leg of lamb clean up a snap. The cooking times are not affected, but the mess stays in the bag rather than on the pot. I usually find these bags on clearance after Thanksgiving or Christmas and stock up then.The head goat (goats have a pecking order like all social animals), whose name is Sweetie, decided that she did not want the lambs to think they were so special, since they were getting so much leg of lamb aga recipe from us humans. So she did what goats do -- she banged one of the lambs to the ground with her horns.Since smoking your meat takes so much time, all you really have to do is place the food on the racks and smoke will start to form from the meat's own juices. All that's really left is making sure the fire stays going for the time needed if using a charcoal or wood smoker. Then leave it alone for the desired smoking time.
