Fix-It and Forget-It Budget Meals: Quick, Easy & Inexpensive Slow Cooker & Instant Pot Recipes by Hope Comerford
3.0
I have had so much fun looking through these recipes to find stuff to make! They all seem very easy to follow and quick to implement. Unfortunately I don’t have an instapot so I’m limited to the slow cooker recipes but there were plenty to choose from!
Plus, if you don’t want to do these in a slow cooker, with some minor adjustments you could still do these over the stove as a normal nightly dinner!
Most of the recipes are simple ingredients that won’t cause you to break the bank to feed your family! I always find it frustrating when I have to go broke to buy food to cook, so it was nice to see that most of the ingredients are pantry staples.
My only complaint about some of the slow cooker recipes is that the aren’t really “fix it and forget it”. There are multiple recipes that have extra steps/ cooking directions outside of just tossing everything into the slow cooker and moving on with your day. Most of these are mild and you could technically ignore those steps, but it feels like it goes against the idea of the book when I have to stop in the middle of the cook time to do extra steps.
