84 Summer Recipes for the Instant Pot and Slow Cooker
It’s summer time, which means a lot of BBQing, cold foods, anything to not use the oven. I know I dread using the oven during the summer because we don’t have central air conditioning. If I do use it, it’s usually for baking something in the late evening hours.
As much as I love BBQ foods, there’s also times where I don’t want it or maybe we need more propane.
There’s also times where I want to spend my day at the beach and come home to a home-cooked meal still. That’s why I love my slow cooker and instant pot, because I can still have hot foods without using the oven.
You can make so much different stuff with the slow cooker and instant pot, from soups to desserts. I’ve got 85 recipes from around the internet that are perfect for summer time. No need to turn on that oven this summer!
