  • Hey guys! Welcome back to another crockpot meals video! It has been quite some time since I have made one. Today's video is filled with lots of simple and healthy classic summer meals! I hope you enjoy! Meals are listed down below :)
    MY CROCKPOT
    tinyurl.com/yc...
    HAWAIIAN BBQ
    2-3 chicken breasts
    2 cups of your favorite BBQ sauce (I used sweet baby rays)
    1 can of drained pineapple chunks
    -Layer chicken, sauce and pineapple in the crockpot and cook on high for 4-6 hours. Eat as is or over a bun!
    HONEY GARLIC TENDERLOIN
    1 tenderloin
    1 lemon
    2 tbsp minced garlic
    1/3 cup of honey
    -layer meat, honey, garlic and lemon in the pot and cook on low 6-8 hours. Slice and eat as is or shred! This makes a great shredded bbq sandwich.
    VEGETABLE SOUP
    chopped zucchini
    2 chopped russet potatoes
    half an onion, chopped
    1 lb mixed vegetables
    1 can of diced tomatoes
    1 frozen bag of okra
    6 cups of water
    -Mix altogether in the pot with your favorite seasoning. Cook on low 6-8 hours. You can also add chicken, ground beef or sausage to this if you would like.
    STUFFED BELL PEPPERS
    6 bell peppers
    2 cups of cooked quinoa
    1 can of drained black beans
    1/2 taco seasoning packet
    -Cook quinoa and mix with black beans and seasoning. You can add in corn or ground beef if you would like. Cut the tops of bell peppers out and take out seeds. Fill peppers with mixture. Add about 1/2 an inch of water in pot and set your bell peppers inside. Cook on LOW for 4-6 hours. Don't overheat or peppers will peel and fall apart. Top with cheese, sour cream, cilantro and avocado!
    VEGGIE KABOBS
    2-3 chicken breasts
    zucchini
    squash
    red onion
    kabob skewers
    lemon juice
    2-3 bell peppers of your choice (add in some colored ones for fun!)
    -Chop all into 1 inch chunks and line your pot with foil. You can lay chicken down and layer veggies on top or you can put on kabobs for fun. Layer them in the pot and squeeze 1 lemon over all of it with some salt and pepper. Cook on high 4 hours or low 6-8.

    Thank you for the vegetarian options! I'm not a vegetarian, but it's way cheaper without the meat, so it's budget friendly to have a few vegetarian meals during the week! Also, I love that you share your "fail" too! It just goes to show there is some trial and error in your awesome recipe videos.

    I noticed your cutting board kept moving while you cut food to cook, to prevent this put a wet wash cloth under your cutting board & no more traveling cutting board. This works great with mixing bowls.

    Do you save your vegetable scraps for veggie broth? It’s like getting free groceries when cooked down, simmered and strained. I save mine in the freezer then plan to cook it later. It adds so much flavor to soups. I love seeing your babies. Enjoy these moments. They pass way too quickly. Blessings! ❤️

    I like to make gazpacho with vegetables in the summer since it’s cold! It’s a good way to cool off and eat healthy.

    • @thesimplifiedsaver
      @thesimplifiedsaver  4 роки тому

      I’ve never heard of that before! What is it?

    • @KariHarrell
      @KariHarrell 4 роки тому +1

      TheSimplifiedSaver It is a cold soup made with blended raw vegetables. You can put vegetables such as onions, tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers (different recipes have different veggies). Then you season it with salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar, olive oil and a few other things. If you don’t mind raw vegetable taste you should try it! It’s nice and refreshing on a hot day.

    • @hollycaffeinatednerdgirl940

    Love all the incorporated vegetables. Crockpot meals are my favorite. I love soups but hard to eat them when the weather is hot. I made French onion soup the other night and it was super hot that day, and I was literally sweating when I ate it. 😂 I didn't care because it was sooo good!

    Great meals! That even I can make being mainly dairy free! Also, do your kiddos eat most meals with y'all? Granted, I have 7 kiddos (from 8yrs-5months), but I'm trying to get us all eating more meals together. (If you haven't already, I need to go check!) But you should consider doing a video of the meals your kiddos love the most when y'all share the same meal 😊

    I've been watching some of your other videos and have noticed you use taco seasoning, you should really make your own. I cleaned out an empty mayo jar and put it in it. I don't know if you have any Save-a-lot stores in Texas but they sell emphanada shells there.

    Are those chicken frozen straight out the freezer? I thought you had to thaw them overnight first.
    It’s noon here, and I have frozen chicken thighs in freezer, can I just throw them into the crockpot frozen and dinner will be ready by 6, or do I have to cook the frozen longer?

    • @christinewade5129

      I put them in the crockpot right from the freezer better control of bacteria growth that way 😉
