Time for Another Meal Prep Update!
This week, I wanted to share what I’ve been doing for meal prep. I’ve been sharing meal prep inspiration since the start of the blog. I’ve managed quick meal preps and summer camp lunches and budget-friendly preps. I would say that meal prepping has been the single most impactful habit I’ve added to my life…

Meal Prep Sundays – Fall 2024
This week, I’m sharing my most recent Sunday meal prep. I have been meal prepping on Sundays for seven years now. My Sunday schedule has changed a few times over the years so I’m always shifting a little bit. This fall I started volunteering in a Sunday night youth program at our church. I have…

Still Meal Prepping
This week, I figured we were due for a meal prep post! It’s been a while since I shared any meal prep content, but I haven’t stopped doing it. It’s been squeezed into the rare pockets of time I can find (in this week’s case, that was Sunday night starting at about 6 p.m.). Here’s…

More Snack Board Ideas
This week, I wanted to share some more awesome snack board ideas. As I shared previously, these grazing boards have been completely changing school days for us as a homeschooling family. My boys start asking me to prep the boards as early as 9 a.m. (which isn’t awful since we all rise pretty early and…

More Summer Camp Lunches!
This week, I prepped once again on a Sunday for my kids’ three days of camp. So far, they seem to be enjoying what I pack and few leftovers are making it home. I asked the kids in advance what they wanted to see in their lunches this week, so some of these items were…

Another Weekly Meal Prep: Done in 2 Hours!
This week, I optimized my meal prep time and managed to get all of the food cooked and portion – and the dishes washed! – in just two hours. Here’s what I prepared: I definitely benefited from some previous prep work I had done since the cooked farro and the tikka masala sauce were thawed…

Nesting: Filing the Freezer – Part 2
This week, I wanted to share the second (and third and fourth…) part to my postpartum freezer meal prep saga. I shared a few weeks ago about my first round of cooking and all the meals and goodies I stocked in our freezer. Well, I haven’t undertaken another full day since then, but I have…

Nesting: Filling the Freezer – Part 1
This week, I had an early surge of nesting momentum and decided to start stocking my freezer for post-partum life. I always try to prepare some meals to make the weeks with a newborn simpler, and since this time around, there will be three insatiable children expecting to eat three meals a day (how rude,…

Meal Prep: Sunday Morning
This week, I hustled to get our weekly meal prep finished early Sunday morning. We had a busy Sunday planned with errands, church service, a church meeting, and a trip to our local appliance outlet (we are finally in the ordering stage for some of the basement appliances!). Since it was raining this Sunday anyway,…
