The
slow cooker eMeals meal plan
feeds a family of 6, and generally costs around $120 per week (or less).
That’s only around $2.86/person per meal! For those of you with smaller
families, there’s also a 2 person plan available. The recipes use
mainstream ingredients, all available at your local grocery store,
and appeal to a broad range of tastes. It's a great plan for the busy person who wants to be fed well but is short on time. You have a hot meal waiting for you in the slow cooker every day and all it takes is a little preparation.
Ham, Kale and Navy Bean Stew served over hominy Cheese
Grits, and appears on this week’s Slow-Cooker Classic Meal Plan. The eMeals
team devoured the leftovers for lunch, and it will freeze perfectly. Take a look - you can join eMeals free for 14 days Click here to sign up.
