In the Kitchen

Things I Prep - Every Single Week!

Can I be real with you for a second? Sunday afternoons used to fill me with dread. I'd look at the week ahead—five kids to feed, homeschool to manage, a business to run—and feel completely overwhelmed before Monday even started. But then I discovered the power of meal prep. And I'm not talking about spending eight hours in the kitchen making Pinterest-perfect meals. I'm talking about simple, practical prep that makes weekday mornings actually manageable. Today, I'm sharing ex

October 19th Prep

There's this misconception that meal prep has to be this huge, all-consuming event where you spend your entire Sunday cooking and portioning out every single meal for the week. And honestly? That's exhausting just thinking about it. Our life on the homestead with seven people under one roof is full—beautifully, wonderfully full—but it's also slow and intentional. We homeschool, we work outside, we move through our days with purpose but without the frantic pace the world seems

You want to feed your family better. You want to make more from scratch. But every recipe you find has 47 steps, ingredients you’ve never heard of, or takes 3 hours. The overwhelm is real. The overwhelm is real. Where do you even start? What if it’s too hard? What if you waste money on ingredients? What if your family won’t even eat it?

So you keep scrolling, keep feeling guilty, keep buying the same stuff you’re trying to move away from.

Then you stumble onto my account. And everything clicks. 💡

I was the overwhelmed mom three years ago, staring at my pantry full of ingredients I couldn’t pronounce, wanting to do better but having NO idea where to begin. I felt paralyzed by all the “shoulds” and totally lost on the “hows.”

So I figured it out – one simple recipe at a time. And I bundled up everything I have learned into one place that I wish I had when I first started.

My Ultimate Homemade Kitchen Bundle is your step-by-step roadmap out of overwhelm:
✨ 280+ pages of SIMPLE, beginner-friendly recipes
✨ Strategic meal plans that take the guesswork out
✨ Time-saving prep hacks (because you’re already busy)
✨ Budget-friendly swaps so you actually save money
✨ Everything broken down into foolproof steps

Because here’s what I learned after 3+ years of doing this: Homemade doesn’t have to be hard. It doesn’t require hours in the kitchen. And you don’t need to overhaul your entire life overnight.
You just need the right resources.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but most of the snacks kids are eating, have ingredients banned in other countries.

🚩Artificial Coloring
🚩BHT
🚩High fructose corn syrup
🚩Potassium bromate

These are just a few of the additives that other countries restrict or won’t allow in their food, but yet we toss our kids snacks that are filled with those ingredients in the US.

When I first had kids, I would grab whatever was convenient off the shelf without batting an eye, assuming they cared about what went into my kids bodies like I did. . . Then I started reading labels and realized what I was actually feeding my family and everything started to change.

That’s exactly why I created my Complete Homemade Kitchen Bundle. It is 280+ pages of everything I wish I had when I started to make cooking from scratch simple.

In it you’ll find my beloved snack stash guide! From copycat crackers to homemade fruit snacks and everything in between - these recipes use real ingredients that won’t leave you questioning what you’re putting in your child’s lunchbox.

The best part? Most of these take less time than a trip to the store, and they taste SO much better than anything you’ll find in a package.

You deserve to feel confident about what you’re feeding your family, and your kids deserve snacks that fuel their bodies with real nutritious foods!

Store bought oatmeal cream pies are loaded with high fructose corn syrup, palm oil, artificial flavors.. but these ones are made with real butter, pure vanilla, wholesome oats, and my homemade marshmallow fluff.

Did you know homemade butter (and buttermilk) was this easy?! 👀🙌🏽

I used to think making it from scratch was so intimidatin but turns out it’s literally just a lot of cream & a little bit of time! SO many homemade swaps sound so intimidating until you actually just try them. Then you’ll end up with something way better than store bought! 🙌🏽❤️

It started with reading one ingredient label. Then another. Then I couldn’t stop. Suddenly I was seeing what my family was actually eating – and I felt so upset. So I started buying all the “cleaner” options. The organics, non GMO, better ingredient foods. BUT our grocery bill absolutely exploded. 💸

I was spending a fortune trying to feed my family better, and it wasn’t sustainable. So I made a decision that changed everything: What if I just made it myself?

Bread. Condiments. Seasonings. Snacks. Full meals. All of it.

And you know what happened? We started eating BETTER food for LESS money. My kids loved it. And for the first time in years, I felt like I was feeling proud of what I was setting in front of my family. ✨

My ultimate Homemade Kitchen Bundle is everything I wish I had 3 years ago when I started this journey:
* 280+ pages of tried-and-true family recipes
* Smart meal planning that actually works for busy moms
* Genius prep hacks that save you hours

* Make-ahead breakfasts, lunches, dinners & snacks
* Homemade versions of your favorites

The best part? You don’t need fancy skills or a culinary degree. Every recipe is broken down into simple, foolproof steps. If I can do this with 5 kids, you absolutely can too.

Thousands of families are saving on groceries and finally feeling good about what’s on their table. Your turn. 💛

This bread recipe changed EVERYTHING! 🍞✨

After discovering what actually goes into store-bought bread years ago, I never looked back. This white sandwich bread recipe has been my family’s go-to ever since!

The best part? It’s FOOLPROOF! No fancy bread machine or sourdough starter needed. Just simple ingredients and a few hours needed for that perfect soft, fluffy texture that store-bought can’t match.

We’ve been sold the lie that convenience is worth the sacrifice.

They’ve normalized long ingredient labels

They convinced you food should last for months.
 They’ve filled our food with oils, syrups, dyes, and “flavors” that have no business being in what we feed our families. (and are banned in some countries!)
 They’ve convinced us that easier is worth the trade.

But it’s not. When did REAL food become the inconvenience?

Convenience shouldn’t come at the cost of our health. Your body deserves better.
Your family deserves better. And real food doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive.

Homemade isn’t just “cute” or “old-fashioned.”
It’s powerful. It’s nourishing. It’s taking back control of what we eat.

That’s why I created my Ultimate Recipe Bundle — 280+ pages of real, from-scratch recipes, meal prep guides, and time-saving systems that make it easy to say goodbye to the junk and hello to homemade.

This resource has helped thousands of families take back their kitchens, save money, and fill their homes with real food made from ingredients they trust.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between wanting better but not knowing where to start — here is your starting place.

Being a mom of five, I had found myself grabbing convenience foods way too often. I always thought making things “from scratch” meant being tied to the kitchen for hours every day. But when I really started reading those ingredient labels and seeing what we were actually eating, I knew I had to find a better way.

Most require just 30 minutes or less of actual hands-on time, and I’m now saving hundreds every month while serving my family food that tastes absolutely incredible - no weird chemicals or unpronounceable ingredients in sight! 🙌🏽

Three snacks. One hour. Zero regrets✨

That’s all it takes to set your family up with homemade snacks that actually satisfy - no preservatives, no mystery ingredients, and no $5 price tag for something that barely fills a bowl.

I used to think making snacks from scratch would take forever. Then I started batch prepping, and everything changed.
Now instead of:
→ Spending $30+ on quality snacks that disappear in two days
→ Always having to read ingredient labels
→ Dealing with the mid-afternoon “I’m hungry again” complaints
→ Making multiple store runs every week

I spend one focused hour prepping real food my kids actually love (and that keeps them full!). The truth is, homemade doesn’t have to be hard or time-consuming. And when you nail down just a few go-to recipes that your family actually loves, everything gets easier.

These three snacks are just the beginning. Inside my Complete Homemade Kitchen Bundle, you’ll find 280+ pages of simple, family-tested recipes that make cooking from scratch feel doable - even on your busiest weeks. From my beloved Snack Stash Guide (where you’ll find these 3 favorites!) to meal planning shortcuts that actually work, it’s everything you need to take back control of your kitchen.

If you don’t have a plan for those crazy busy nights, takeout is going to win. Every. Single. Time.

I know, I know - nobody wants to hear it! But here’s the truth: when you’re exhausted from work, the kids need help with homework, practice runs late, and you’re staring into your fridge with ZERO plan... that pizza app is going to look mighty tempting. 🍕

And honestly? I don’t blame you.

But what if I told you there’s a way to beat takeout at its own game? What if you could walk into your kitchen on those chaotic nights knowing EXACTLY what you’re making, with all the ingredients ready to go?

That’s what having a solid dinner plan does for you. It removes the decision fatigue, eliminates the grocery store panic, and gives you confidence even on your most overwhelming days.

Your busy schedule doesn’t have to mean sacrificing family dinners. You just need the right system in place BEFORE the chaos hits.

That’s exactly why I created my new recipe guide, Meals Made Easy. 6 weeks of complete dinner menus with organized grocery lists. 30 meals planned, prepped, and ready to save your sanity on those overwhelming nights.

Wait until you taste these homemade Kit Kat bars! 🍫🤤 🍫

Kit Kats are made with wafer cookies, milk chocolate, and sugar - pretty simple, but they’re also packed with additives and preservatives. If you want a more authentic texture, you can totally grab store-bought wafer cookies…

BUT honestly? We like this homemade shortbread version SO much better. The buttery, crisp shortbread layers with rich chocolate coating are absolutely incredible - and you know exactly what’s going into them. They’re crunchier, more flavorful, and way more impressive than anything from a wrapper.

As a mom of five, I use to rely way too much on store bought items. I used to think “homemade” meant spending hours per day in the kitchen. But once I learned what was in all of those foods I was buying, I went on a mission to make them myself at home. And these recipes changed everything! Most take 30 minutes or less of working time, and I’m saving hundreds each month while feeding my family foods that taste infinitely better without the additives and mystery ingredients 🙌🏽

The smell of fresh bread filling your kitchen. The pride when your kids ask for seconds of your homemade granola. The confidence that comes from knowing you created something amazing with your own hands - just a few of the joys that come with making things from scratch.

With 280+ pages of family-tested recipes, meal planning shortcuts, time-saving prep strategies, and simple swaps that will slash your grocery spending without sacrificing flavor or nutrition.
