Wish you could be sitting down to more yummy meals with the family, but always out of time or new ideas? October is your chance to turn it all around!
Crocktober Challenge | 20 Slow Cooker Recipes in 20 Days
I am sooooooooo excited about this!!! This past Monday we started Passionate Penny Pincher's annual Crocktober Slow Cooking Series, and I just love how easy it feels to get dinner done every day. (Seriously, I started Crocktober here on PPP years ago, but every year it's like coming home to a happy home favorite.)
WOOHOOOOOOOOO!!! 🙂
(Can you tell I'm just a wee bit excited?)
Here's a peek at what we've made this week . . .
==> If you haven't joined us yet, get your Crocktober menu plan + 8 additional weeks of meals HERE! <==
Slow Cooker Italian Beef Sliders & Pumpkin Spice Cake

These pics are pretty pitiful, but I'd had a rough day and my sweet hubby tackled this one for me ~ he finished it up, brought it down to me, and even took the pictures. If that's not enough to convince you that Crocktober is awesome, I don't even know what is! ❤️
Slow Cooker Pesto & Ranch Chicken
Slow Cooker Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin
Slow Cooker French Onion Soup in Homemade Bread Bowls

Friday – Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore
Now . . . let's real fast talk about these Easy Bread Bowls I made to go with the French Onion Soup.
They're so simple to do at home, HERE to learn how to make this Easy Bread Bowl Recipe for just 20¢ per bowl, and totally made the French Onion Soup recipe perfection. Go (it was so much easier than you'd think ~ and your family will love this one because they'll walk into a home smelling like fresh warm baked bread. Success!

Crock-tober is just two weeks away, but the weather is finally cooperating with fall and I am soooo ready to get started!🍁🍂
Starting Oct. 5th, I'm challenging you to join me and make dinner in Mrs. Potts (aka your crockpot or slow cooker) every single day Monday-Friday for 4 straight weeks – making slow cooker meals each day.
We'll be using all recipes from the Slow Cooker Meal Plan – Snag yours here! (Don't worry – if your recipe box doesn't arrive by the start of the challenge you can always use the Free Digital copy that's included) 🙂
Note: the challenge is for four-weeks, the menu plan includes a whopping 12-weeks of slow cooker meals & desserts!
I'll be going live on the main Passionate Penny Pincher Facebook Page each morning making dinner with you between 8 and 9:30 AM Eastern Time each day. (I'm shooting for 9AM Eastern time most days, but have to be a little flexible because of my family's schedule!)
Remember you can always watch the replays on Facebook later in the day as well if you miss me in the morning, and we'll also post all of the Crocktober videos updated right over HERE on Youtube too.

Need a new slow cooker?
If you plan on making oodles of Crockpot Recipes with me – or just on your own time! – you might be looking to start with a new slow cooker.
A few summers ago I upgraded to the Crockpot 5-in 1 a Crockpot and I LOVE IT (although it does cook a little fast so be prepared for that!) ~ check out all the ones I like best!
