eMeals Ham, Kale & Navy Bean Stew Recipe!

 

Good morning, savvy savers!  Today I wanted to post again about on of the diet strategies I have implemented into my new diet and healthier lifestyle, eMeals! The folks at eMeals have graciously allowed me to partake in a free one-years subscription of their service, and I will be including these meal options into my current healthy lifestyle strategy, and I also wanted to bring you, my readers, information on their services as well. I recently came across a great eMeals recipe,  Ham, Kale & Navy Bean Stew, and wanted to share this with you all!

This meal, part of a slow cooker eMeals meal plan, which feeds a family of 6 affordably, and is a part of a meal plan which feeds each person for only $2.86/person per meal; there are also several other plans available for smaller families as well, which are sure to appeal to a broad range of tastes and preferences.

This delicious Ham, Kale and Navy Bean Stew is served over homey Cheese Grits, and appears on this week’s  Slow-Cooker Classic Meal Plan. Our team devoured the leftovers for lunch, and it would freeze perfectly. If you’re interested in learning more about the convenience of year-round slow-cooker cooking, check out the meal plan here.
