101 Slow Cooker Summer Suppers–Enough summer crockpot recipes to get you through the entire summer!

I cannot believe that summer is here!  I’m kind of freaking out a little bit.  My kids have been on year round school so they only get about 6 weeks of summer break but it’s still 6 weeks of unplanned time.  6 weeks of pool, 6 weeks of “I’m bored, mom,” 6 weeks of popsicles (for the kids), 6 weeks of ice cream (for the mom), 6 weeks of “we should go camping mom,” 6 weeks of me resisting camping.  You know what I’m talking about right?!  Time is exceedingly abundant for kids but not for moms who are still trying to get everything done without any time to themselves.  Why not make it easy on yourself? Plan your meals for a month at a time with this guide.  Choose the meals that your family will like and get them going in the crock while you’re feeding your kids breakfast or lunch!  Then when you get home from the pool in the afternoon/evening you won’t have to scramble to make dinner. Most of it will have been taken care of by the slow cooker.  The other really great part is that the slow cooker won’t heat up your kitchen like an oven or stove will!  Keep cool this summer and your AC bill down–use your crockpot!

    Great round-up! I use my slow cooker more in the summer, to keep the kitchen cool, than I do in the winter. Definitely putting some of these dishes on my list to try soon.

Hi, I’m Karen. I know that dinner time can be less than relaxing. Busy schedules and cranky kids and a hundred other things can lead to weariness when it comes to putting dinner on the table. I can help! I make homemade, family-friendly slow cooker and Instant Pot dinners and share the recipes with you.
