Happy Friday, friends!!
I am re-posting my SUMMER SLOW COOKER RECIPES from last year because friends, THE SLOW COOKER SHOULD BE YOUR FRIEND RIGHT NOW! I used to think that the slow cooker was reserved for fall and winter only…BUT I WAS WRONG!! During the hot summer months, when I don’t want to stand over my stove and oven, the slow cooker saves the day. When we’re out by the pool all day and just want to come inside to dinner already prepared, the slow cooker saves the day. When it’s a million degrees out but I don’t want to heat up the kitchen, the slow cooker saves the day. The slow cooker was made for every day friends. Every. Single. Day.
Throw your ingredients in, head out, come home, eat supper. That’s it! Who wants to be in the kitchen when there is fun summer stuff to be had?! NOT ME!
CROCK POT ENCHILADA TACOS And if you prefer chicken…
Or one more variation…
TERIYAKI CHICKEN IN THE SLOW COOKER
Just a few little slow cooker recipes to get you from mid-July to fall (when our slow cookers work overtime!). Pull it out, plug it in, and get dinner started before your day begins!

Love all of these recipes and have made most of them! Since I have a new celiac in my house can you tell me your favorite tortillas and pasta that you use? Thank you so much for adding to your recipes gf pointers!!

Trader Joe’s has a greta gf tortilla and pasta. When we can’t get that, typically, my normal grocery store has several good gf options for pastas and then corn tortillas are always an easy gf substitute for flour tortillas.

I too, only used my crockpot in fall/winter, but why? Why wouldn’t we want to use the actual oven in the fall/winter to help keep the house warm?! Brilliant idea to reinvent it for summer! Set it and forget it with these easy and appropriate summer recipes! Thank you and with this, we as meal planners can enjoy the rest of summer!
