Beat the Heat with Crock Pot Meals!
It’s that time of year again! Late summer
Where I am that means two things.
Hot weather and school starts back for public school kids.
To help combat the heat in your kitchen and the stress of long days trying to get ready for school or starting back, I thought I would share some crock pot meals.
Why crock pot meals? They are so easy to throw things in and then just walk away from. They are wonderful for working parents to have a meal ready when they walk through the door and they are fantastic for stay at home parents who want a great dinner after a long busy day.
I want to encourage you to think outside of the box or I guess the crock? Whenever anyone says crock pot meal people automatically think it has to be a roast and veggies, or some meat. There are some many wonderful meals that don’t include meat. Why would you want to skip the meat if you are not a vegetarian?
Simple. It saves you money ( which this is the time of year that you are stocking up on school supplies, school clothes, and everything else in the world they might need). It also takes the cholesterol at of a meal, which makes it healthier. With all of that in mind, let’s get on to the list!
I have compiled a list of some really good ones I have tried and some that I want to try!
Breakfast- Its not just dinner that can be made in the crockpot!
Overnight Crockpot Meals- Here is a whole pinterest board dedicated to them!
Lunches and dinner-
Cheesy Broccoli and Rice Casserole
Chili ( this is great over baked potatoes)
Easy Mexican Rice Casserole (one of my favorite crockpot meals ever!)
Sides-
Desserts– They deserve their own post! Stay tuned for that one!!
