Around here, Sundays are crazy. Justin works so much during the week that we save our errands for the weekend, but we like to take Saturdays to be together as a family. That means that pretty much the entire week’s worth of errands take place on Sundays!
Once we get home from the grocery store and wherever else we’ve been, we spend a lot of time in the kitchen preparing for the week. We make & individually wrap Justin’s breakfast bars for the week, I try to partially assemble his lunches to save time during the week, and when I have time, I cut and wash fruits & veggies to snack on throughout the week.
The last thing I want to do when I’m done with all of that is cook dinner! That’s why I love using my slow cooker on Sundays. I just spend a few minutes before my errands getting everything into the cooker & by the time I’m done with all of my errands and chores, dinner has cooked itself. Below I’ve included 12 Slow Cooker meals that would be perfect for a Sunday night.
