Hi friends
I don't spend hours meal prepping, but I do prep a few things every weekend to make sure we aren't scrambling during the week. Life is busy and a little prep can go a long way!
Today, I am sharing some of our Favorite Meal Prep Recipes that will make your life easier! I included ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even a few snacks/treats!
And don't worry, you don't have to spend your entire weekend cooking. Pick a couple of recipes to prep each week and it will make a huge difference!
Breakfast
- Overnight Oats- easy to customize!
- Egg Muffins- these are freezer friendly!
- Baked Oatmeal- my apple cinnamon version is good too!
- Breakfast Burritos- my boys LOVE these!
- Cottage Cheese Frittata- packed with protein and veggies!
- Breakfast Casserole- I love this veggie one too!
- Breakfast Cookies- cookies for breakfast? YES! They are made with wholesome ingredients! I always keep a stash in our freezer!
