AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @p AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @pottersresortsfivelakes with @slwilson84. It was an action packed three nights with a full activity and entertainment programme, great food, lovely drinks and beautiful surroundings. 

The staff go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home and they ensure that everyone has the best time possible. I don’t think I stopped smiling all weekend.

The best thing about Potters holidays is that everything is included in the price you pay. Four meals a day, all your drinks - including wine, Prosecco, most spirits and soft drinks - great accommodation and so many activities. 

I’ll write a full review soon but for now here’s a little Reel of our weekend
I always have a lot of questions about accommodati I always have a lot of questions about accommodation when we stay anywhere as a family so I thought I’d share this little tour of our room at @windjammerlanding which was a pretty perfect place to stay.

It’s the ‘Ocean View Two Bedroom’ which was like a little house, with an upstairs and downstairs, built into the hillside. Both rooms had outdoor space and their own shower rooms. Such a great option for a family.
A little photo dump from our holiday in St Lucia. A little photo dump from our holiday in St Lucia. We’ve been back a few days now but still miss the heat, the food, the pool, the constant sounds of wildlife and the lovely people. It was such a great holiday and I’m sure we’ll be back one day.
And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is watching her grow and what a wonderful young woman she is becoming. We could not be more proud. Love you Pickle, have a great birthday.
We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in S We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in St Lucia staying at @windjammerlanding and it was just the holiday we needed. Two weeks of sunshine and relaxation in what must be one of the most beautiful islands in the world. 

We can’t wait to go back again in the future. Here’s just a little snippet of our trip.
AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @na AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @national_motor_museum despite the rain! The children loved the Little Beaulieu play area and we loved exploring the National Motor Museum and Top Gear exhibit before having a ride on the monorail! We went on an old open topped bus, explored the Beaulieu Manor House and loved the gardens. 
Beaulieu is always a great day out - whatever the weather. This summer they have a whole ‘Summer of Fun’ planned, with activities most days - parades, bird shows and hundreds of sculptures within the grounds too. If you’re looking for a day out this summer definitely think about heading to Beaulieu.
AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to t AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to their first concert - but it was so much more than just a concert! @abbavoyage is incredible. With CGI ABBA and a live band, it’s like being at an ABBA concert 40 years ago but with modern lighting, effects and sound. ABBA look and sound real, it’s a mind blowing experience.
The set includes all the songs you know and love as well as a few less familiar ones.
You can’t take photos during the show which actually made a refreshing change. A whole arena focused purely on the show and soaking up the moment. It’s definitely something the four of us will always remember.
Now, I’m off to sing Dancing Queen all the way home.
AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdo AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdockyard today. They have a fantastic Ultimate Explorer ticket that lets you visit all the attractions as many times as you like for 12 months - and after a day at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard we can see that you need more than one day to really do everything!

We explored HMS Warrior, HMS Victory and the Mary Rose Exhibition - which is incredible! We also saw where ships are built and restored and spent time in Action Stations where the kids climbed and did an assault course.

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is such a fun, educational day out with something for all ages - we can’t wait to go on their harbour tours next time we visit!

Slow Cooker Spinach and Ricotta Lasagne Recipe

This was my first attempt at making a lasagne in the slow cooker but it will definitely be the first attempt of many. I don’t cook vegetarian meals very often either but love spinach ricotta in homemade cannelloni so thought it might go well in a lasagne too. Italian food is always some of our favourite dishes to eat. This Slow Cooker Spinach Lasagna is great served with a side salad and garlic bread.

We use a large 6 litre crock pot for this spinach and ricotta slow cooker recipe but if your slow cooker is smaller you can reduce the quantities or have a deeper lasagne. You could use fresh home made pasta too but it would probably cook too quickly for the slow cooker – dried pasta is perfect for slow cooker recipes.

Can I make the spinach and ricotta lasagne in the oven?

If you would like to make this vegetarian slow cooker lasagna recipe in the oven for dinner then just follow the instructions below, placing all the ingredients into a ovenproof baking dish. Bake in the centre of the oven, preheated to 200C, for 40 minutes or until brown on top and bubblin nicely.

Can I make this recipe into a spinach and ricotta cannelloni instead of a lasagne?

If you’d like to make this recipe into an easy cannelloni instead of a slow cooker lasagne you can do just a few minor changes. Use cannelloni tubes or Manicotti instead of lasagna sheets, fill each tube with the spinach and ricotta filling using a piping bag.

Place half the tomato pasta sauce mixture in the base of the slow cooker before topping with the pasta tubes and finishing with the rest of the tomato mix before sprinkling over the cheese.

Here’s our Slow Cooker Spinach and Ricotta Lasagne Recipe:

Ingredients

  • 1 kg ricotta cheese
  • 700 g frozen spinach defrosted and excess water squeezed out.
  • 3 eggs beaten
  • 130 g freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 kg passata or sieved tomatoes
  • 130 g green pesto
  • dried lasagne pasta sheets
  • 150 g grated mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • In a large bowl mix the spinach, ricotta, eggs and half the parmesan cheese.
  • In another bowl mix the passata and pesto.
  • Lightly grease the slow cooker pot and ladle the passata tomato sauce onto the bottom to have a thin even layer – this was two large ladles for us. Add a layer of lasagne sheets.
  • Spoon some of the ricotta spinach mixture to create a thin even layer followed by another layer of sauce and then pasta. Repeat until the cheese and sauce are used up – finishing with the sauce.
  • Mix the rest of the parmesan with the mozzarella and sprinkle over the top of the lasagne.
  • Turn the slow cooker on to low and cook for 4 hours until nicely browned and the pasta is cooked.
