Spring is my favorite time of year. With new flowers blooming, trees growing new leaves and birds chirping – everything seems to come back to life. And, I love the cooler weather, before it gets to the hot days of summer. Spring is perfect camping and grilling weather too, which is another reason to love it!
April has a few holidays spread throughout the month where you can incorporate fun meals to celebrate. We kick off the month with Resurrection Sunday and we end the month with Earth Day. Now that Spring has arrived, you may want to try these Brunch Recipes or Springtime Sweets & Treats as you enjoy the fresh air.
Below you will find two meal plans. On the regular meal plan, slow cooker meals remain on Sundays and Wednesdays or for those times you need a meal ready-to-eat. If you’d like to switch up some of the Slow Cooker Meals to an Instant Pot recipe, check out my beginners post in the series for a great link to help! This meal plan also includes grilled options on Friday nights to kick off your weekend!
On the Instant Pot Meal Plan, I have included some delicious Spring Meals, a variety of meats (fish, chicken, pork, beef), a few Spring Soups, Salads and more! Also, the suggestions for breakfasts, lunches, snacks and desserts at the bottom are also Instant Pot recipes!
Feel free to move any of the recipes around as needed to fit your family’s schedule. You can even mix and match the two meal plans! There is a variety of meats (fish, chicken, beef, pork) as well as soups and salads (on both plans) to keep the whole family happy. My hope each month is that you will find some new favorites to add to your own must have rotation.
