| Hey there reader! I hope you're doing well and staying healthy. As someone who likes to be prepared for busy times, I wanted to share some tips for making life easier when unexpected things come up, like getting sick. We all know that the holidays and summer vacation can be crazy, but what about when life throws us a curveball? When I got Covid (twice btw), I was out of commission for a few weeks, which was tough. I couldn't even move or take care of anyone, even if I wanted to. But one thing that helped immensely was I had soups and other foods in the freezer. Even though I didn't have much, it was enough to keep me going when I couldn't cook. This was my saving grace! So, now I make soup and freeze it every few months, especially during flu season. I suggest you do the same, because you'll when you get sick you'll be happy you did! You don't need a lot, just a few portions to have on hand for when you're feeling under the weather. My favorite soups to make when sick are Italian Chicken Soup, Chicken Enchilada Soup, and Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup. I like to freeze them in 1-cup portions using Souper Cubes (use code OYS10 for 10% off). Another thing that saved me was having some freezer kits and casseroles ready to go. When I was sick, there was no way I could cook anything from scratch. So having a chicken meatballs sub kit, buffalo chicken sub kit, and baked ziti in the freezer made getting dinner on the table easy. All my husband or kids had to do was thaw, warm up or throw in the oven, and serve. So I suggest taking some time to stock your freezer with meals. It may take a day or two, but it will be worth it when you're feeling under the weather. I have many freezer meal ideas on my blog, and you can check out my Freezer to Flourish Freezer Prep Bundle for even more delicious recipes, a shopping list, and tons of tips to help you stock your freezer.
I hope these tips help you stay prepared for whatever life throws your way! Have a great weekend! Tammy Overhoff Ps. Hey, have you checked out my shop, Reset & Flourish?
