Here is the recipe for my tomato and Basil Muffins (i got it out of a book but shhh.... lets not got there )

Ingredients:
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
320g plain flour
2 tbsp baking powder
pinch of salt
4 lightly beaten eggs
125ml olive oil
320g tin condensed tomato soup
3tbsp sun-dried tomatos

Method:
preheat the oven to 175 degrees/ gas 4

In a medium bowl, mix the basil, flour, baking powder and salt with a spoon.

In a large bowl, combine the eggs, olive oil, soup and sun-dried tomatoes with an electric whisk until well combined. Mix the flour mixture into the soup mixture until just combined. Spoon the mixture into a muffin tin. Bake for 20 min.

Makes 1 dozen

There are a few variations:
. adding 100g of grated mozzarella cheese to the soup mixture.

. substituting 2 tbsp of fresh marjoram for the basil

. substituting 2 tbsp of fresh chives for the basil

Very scrumptious if i do say so myself ... very easy to make :-D

Any body have some good recipe ideas for use with a slow cooker?????
Just got one the other day and thought I would ask for any good ole home style stuff kinda like "mum" used to make..

I made Pea and Ham soup in our slow cooker yesterday. Woolworths, Coles and IGA all have bacon Bones for $4.98/kg this week. WOW also has Bacon Hocks for $4.98. I chose bones because I figured hocks have that layer of fat on them. I'm still not sure it was the best decision.

I'll keep an eye on where your question leads. I might be preparing a chook or two in the coming weeks, certainly within a few months.

Thanks Greenaus, was thinking of doing pea & ham. From when we used to do it in kitchens, we used hocks & double smoked bones as well for more flavour, that could be a hint for you.

Thanks for that. The flavour was ok, actually. I just wasn't sure whether I'd have got more meat from the hocks.

The main issue I had using the slow cooker was unlike most slow cooker dishes Pea and Ham soup required me to keep a VERY close eye on the water level. It was perhaps minutes from the point of no return when I first noticed. :shock:
