    Looking forward to those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer??? Don’t want to stress about dinner? Or feel guilty about your kids having cold cereal for dinner every other night???

    We’ve put together an special new “Summer Slow Cooker Meal Plan” designed to create delicious, wholesome meals without a ton of fuss and bother, and without heating the house up!

    This meal plan is such a huge help in getting you in and out of the store and then the kitchen, freeing you up for more of summer is all about: FUN in the sun!

    Or keeping cool in the shade!

    Or lounging by the pool, or whatever YOU want to be doing with your summer!

    6 Week Summer Slow Cooker Plan

    In this set of recipes, there are some old favorites from $5 Dinners, as well as all new recipes. Also, it is a completely new set of recipes from our first and very popular “6-Week Slow Cooker Plan”…absolutely no repeats!!!

    Let’s make your slow cooker a mostly permanent fixture on your kitchen countertop this summer!


     
    {Please note that members of The $5 Meal Plan can get a discount of $2…so if you’re already a member, head into the $5 Meal Plan dashboard and click on Store!}

    {If you’d like to join in to get the discount and see what other types of meal plans we have available over at the $5 Meal Plan, you can join here.}

    How is this new Summer Slow Cooker meal plan different from other plans?

    This is not a freezer cooking meal plan. This is not a ‘make it all ahead of time’ plan. This is a start the slow cooker every morning, so you can go about your busy day plan.

    (I feel like the summer is busier than the school year sometimes. Between camps, work, and mixing in some pool fun…it gets busy. Yes, even “busy relaxing” in the pool. That’s a thing. A real, legit thing. But it doesn’t mean I’m off the hook from making dinner. Because I’m busy having fun! LOL!)

    This meal plan consists of 6 recipes each week, with 5 dinners and a dessert or side dish, with accompanying shopping list for all the recipes for that week. You can make those meals throughout the week, just leaving your slow cooker on the counter.

    This meal plan has no repeats from the original 6-Week Slow Cooker Meal Plan that we released in 2015. This is all new meals and recipes especially for the summer.

    Who is this 6-Week Summer Slow Cooker Meal Plan for? 

    This plan is for anyone who has a busy summer plan and doesn’t want to worry about dinner, or come home early from the pool or other activities to make dinner.

    Who is this plan is NOT for?

    This plan is not for everyone. If you don’t like slow cooker meals, this isn’t for you. Except, these aren’t your typical slow cooker meals either – salmon in the slow cooker, yessem. Curry in the slow cooker, yup yup. Shredded meats for tacos – well, that’s kinda typical slow cooker.

    But seriously, if you aren’t in love with your slow cooker…carry on.

    Recipes & Content in Summer Slow Cooker Plan

    The plan has 6 weeks worth of meals with 6 meals in each week. There are 5 dinner meals plus a snack or dessert recipe, on each of the weekly lists. Some are recipes that we’ve featured on the site in the past on the website and some are brand new recipes! There are no repeats from the original 6-Week Slow Cooker Meal Plan.

    • 36 Recipes
    • 6 weeks of shopping lists (with extra space to add other ingredients you need)

    Here is a little taste of a few recipes in the plan…

    • Shredded Hawaiian Chicken Sandwiches
    • Lemon & Dill Salmon
    • BBQ Chicken Nachos
    • Balsamic & Brown Sugar Pulled Pork
    • Pineapple Chicken with Slaw
    • Tomatillo Flank Steak
    • Curried Cod
    • BBQ Meatball Sliders
    • Raspberry Blackberry Cobbler
    • S’mores Dip
    • Peach Cobbler
    • Blueberry Crisp
    • AND MORE!

    Might I suggest that you get both of the slow cooker meal plans that we have available and you’ll be completely covered on the dinners & dessert front for the entire summer!?!

    If you’re wanting to shave 20% off the price, you can sign up to be a free trial member of our $5 Meal Plan weekly subscription service and get the plan for $8.
