Hey there reader,
So, I literally can't believe tomorrow is August 1st. Summer is basically over! I mean, technically, we have a month left before going back to school, but August is when we gear up and get ready for back to school. So, the lazy days of summer for me are done. Although, I'm not sure if I even had any lazy days 😳
Over the next few weeks, we do all of our BTS shopping and get life in order because, trust me, nobody wants to be around me in September if I don't prepare ahead of time.
Next week I'll share some tips for getting ready for the busy fall season. And, if it's not your busy season, then just sit back and watch all of us crazy parents try to navigate school, sports, work, a house, and dogs, all while keeping up with eating healthy, exercise, and possibly a social life. Ha! Don't worry; I've been at this for a LONG time, so I have some tips to save our sanity in the coming month.
But before I go any further, I want to share again that we are starting the mason jar salad challenge tomorrow. There's still time to join! Grab the recipes below before running to the grocery store. And don't forget to join the OYS Facebook group where I'm running this challenge live. I'm so excited!

Okay, let's get to our weekly newsletter/
Recipes to Try This Week.
This month I'm going to share recipes that you can start stocking your freezer with to get prepared for back to school. These are all teenager-approved recipes. My girls have been eating these recipes for the last ten years, so I guess we can also call them kid-approved.
- Freezer Breakfast Burrito. Just trust me on this one; you'll be happy to have a freezer full of these burritos.
- Banana Baked Oatmeal Cups. My youngest loves these! They freeze great so make a few batches.
- Steak Salad in a Jar. Make these on Sunday, and don't worry about your lunch all week.
- Taco Stuffed Peppers. A healthy twist on tacos, and they freeze great. See my tips for freezing stuffed peppers here.
- Cheeseburger Meatloaf. My favorite meatloaf to have in the freezers. See my tips for freezing meatloaf here.
- Buffalo shredded chicken. I love freezing this into portions for wraps, subs, salads, and this Buffalo chicken macaroni and cheese.
Having sauces in the freezer is so helpful when you want to make a quick dinner. Check out this Bolognese sauce, Arrabiatta Sauce, Marinara Sauce, and Pizza Sauce I shared on my sister's site, Gluten-Free Italian Eats.
