Summer is still going strong here in the northern part of the United States, which means we are still in prime weather for summer fun in the evenings. We love spending time outside with family and friends as the weather starts to cool down in the evenings a bit, rather than staying so hot in the evenings.
While there are no major holidays in the month of August, most kids will be going back to school and that means lives get just a little bit busier. Don’t forget about these BBQ & Grilling recipes and Seafood Grilled recipes as grilling season continues!
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 Summer Meals, a variety of meats (fish, chicken, pork, beef), a few salads and more! Also, the suggestions for breakfasts, lunches, snacks and desserts at the bottom are all 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.
