I'm following the Eat at Home Slow Cooker Menu Plan and just love it so much! Details on The Eat at Home Challenge The Eat at Home Challenge is this week and runs through August 18, 2017. Every morning around 7 a.m. CT, I'll be on Facebook Live prepping our dinner to throw in the slow cooker for the day so that when 6 p.m. rolls around dinner is READY! Every day, in addition to doing a Facebook Live video on my Facebook Page, I'll be posting here on the blog what I made that day, along with a link to my video (in case you missed it). I’m using the Eat at Home menu-planning service for my recipes for this challenge. You can sign up and get the recipes if you’d like to follow along with me! Scroll down to the bottom of this post for all the details on this menu-planning service + a 35% off coupon code good through tomorrow only! My hope is that this will inspire you with some new recipe ideas, encourage you to not wait until the last minute to think about what you're having for dinner, and motivate you to eat at home more (even on busy nights!) so you can save money. I'd love for you to join me in this challenge!

I love this menu-planning service and highly recommend it — especially if you struggle to come up with the time and inspiration to make your own menus. Eat at Home is a menu-planning service designed to make getting dinner on the table much easier every night.
