I can’t believe it is time to start back to school! We had such a great summer and I hate to see it end. Today, I want to share with you my favorite back to school recipes to help easy the dinner rush and the End of the Season Sale at eBay.

The secret to my back to school menu is using my favorite kitchen gadgets to make things easy! In my slow cooker, I always love to make brisket, barbecue beef for sliders, chicken pho (one of my most popular recipes!), minestrone and tortilla soup. It’s so nice to be able to pop something in the slow cooker or crockpot, set the timer and come home from running school and soccer carpools to dinner ready.

Need quick poached chicken to shred for Stuffed Poblano’s or simple Chicken Tacos?  I love my Instant Pot for this!  Just pop in 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts and a jar of your favorite salsa and Voila!  In 10 minutes you have what you need.  Read more about it here.

I couldn’t imagine mornings without these two:  Vitamix and Nespresso.  Morning smoothies (or Frozen Margaritas!) are not the same without this high-powered blender.  There are several versions of the blender and I’ve linked a few below in the boutique.  I’ve not been a coffee drinker in years but after our trip to Italy, I crave a cup every morning!

eBay’s End of the Season Sale is happening now and runs until August 27. It’s the perfect time to pick up the items you need for outdoor entertaining on your patio or outdoor living space.  This gorgeous set is like mine that we love so much!  And if you don’t have a ceramic charcoal grill yet, this is the time to pick one up!  It’s the only way to make the best BBQ chicken!

Did you know that 89% of the items on eBay our new? It is one of my favorite places to find items, especially fashion, that are sold out in stores or to get a great deal! I shared how I added a piece I had wanted for a while to my living room after on found it on eBay in this post.
