BEST EVER Dump and Go Crockpot Recipes For Vacation | CHEAP Quick & Easy Slow Cooker Meals To Make On Vacation That Your Family Will LOVE!
Hey friends, I’m sharing 2 more of the BEST Crockpot dinner recipes that I’ve EVER made! And I saved them to make while on vacation with the family this week. I am also sharing how I’ve been saving our family money on the vacation food budget for years by cooking and planning ahead; and NO, I don’t spend all day in the kitchen on vacation. It just takes a little planning ahead, making good use of your crockpot and learning how to spruce up some convenience foods. These are tried and true family favorites, perfect for vacation, a cozy fall dinner or just a quick weeknight meal anytime of the year. As always, they are all budget friendly and use simple ingredients found in most everyone’s pantry or grocery store. Thanks for stopping by and sharing our vacation memories, I hope you will subscribe and come back every week for more.

So happy ya'll had a great time in Florida!! I live in the panhandle of Florida and am proud that ya'll spent your vacation here. When I make the taco soup, I use a can of Rotel tomatoes/peppers instead of diced tomatoes because it adds a little extra heat the soup.

I sure did enjoy seeing your vacation cooking; my husband and I have decided that eating out on vacation (for the most part) is not so much a great idea for us anymore. It seems like so many of the places feature such “over the top” plates (at high prices, as well) Watching this video has really given me some great ideas for making our meals. We would still eat out a little, but cooking in would sure help. We live in Alabama, and would like to go to Florida in 2023-it’s been a while since we’ve been to the beach. I love how Grayton Beach looks, and some of the places y’all went and things you did would be what we’d be interested in. Thanks for sharing!!

I do the same thing and I'm usually solo (except for the crockpot).I like knowing I have what I need to cook breakfast,lunch and dinner if I want to.I plan a menu,make sure I have the ingredients to do those meals and pack up.(I shop sales at home,clip coupons,and save where I can.)

When our kids were young my husband had a job that he had to attend a state and a national convention. He had to work but it was our vacation for the kids and me They just wanted to play in the pool! We always took our crockpot and a small griddle. It made for a much cheaper vacation and the money we saved on food we could use for other activities.

Hello Mel, I’m a new subscriber. I have to tell you how much I enjoy your channel. You have a very soothing voice that kinda drew me in. Well that and your delicious looking recipes. Your style of cooking reminds me of days gone by. After my husband passed away it’s just been me. I know I’m cooking meals that are too big for just myself but I like these types of soups and casseroles. Why deprive myself. I can freeze the leftovers. If there is any. You are right about those beautiful white sand beaches, the blue water and gorgeous sunsets. You introduced me to a place I would like to try. Thank you! I love the picture of you and your Mom sitting in the oversized chair. Making sweet memories. Your Mom is such a pretty woman.

We usually don't eat out because of the same reason children & adults are tired after a day at the beach & pool & saves money. I have 8 children & 18 grandchildren. Most try to go on vacation with us. We only do 2 meals a day breakfast & supper. Looking forward to trying some of your meals!
