I Just started to do a weekly plan in advance so that in that day I already know what to cook. It has helped a lot. You can avoid alcohol in most recipes doesn't matter that they tell you to put it. Or if you want you can still buy non alcoholic wine. I'm vegetarian so can assure you there's plenty or recepies out there. Just look on Google:) plan in advance so you already have all the ingredients and it will go smoothly
Today I’m making a chicken korma… I’ve been making curry once a week and every week I change which curry to have; sometimes Chinese, sometimes Indian, sometimes Thai - but at least it covers one evening meal a week
I'm struggling to find another slow cooker book I like but I do have a book by Dean Edwards called cook slow
Jacket potato Tomato and veg pasta Egg fried rice Tinned beans into a chilli Fajitas Soup Butternut squash risotto
Also I’ve seen recipes use dried porcini mushrooms with beef. Not sure if that’s in the place of alcohol
