Let’s face it, summer is HOT here in Florida, but it’s such a fun season for food! It’s a great time to make fresh salads or take the entire meal outside to the grill instead of heating up the house. No matter what time of year, I love making Quick Family Recipes in the crockpot… it makes life so much easier! Happy Summer and here’s to your long summer nights being filled with lots of laughter and sweet memories together around the dinner table!

All of these Quick Family Recipes are easy to make and taste tested and approved by your friends Ellis and Tyler from Z88.3 Mornings. Join in on the fun every Wednesday morning around 7:12ish as we continue to test and share new recipes together!
