Weekly shopping tips:

• This week its all about recipes you can put in your slow cooker. These small appliances are great in the summer because they don't generate a lot of heat in the same way turning on your oven would. Slow cookers are also great for having a meal ready after a long day out enjoying the summer fun!
  • 2 cans of spaghetti sauce
  • 2 1/2 lbs. ground beef or ground turkey
  • 5 cups of mozarella cheese
  • I like to buy cheese in bulk at Costco or Sams Club for great savings. To store the excess, I seperate it into freezer bags and store in the freezer.
  • Tossed salad, cole slaw, a vegetable tray, and spinach are all suggested sides to this week's meals that do not have their own recipes.
