January 19th Weekly Prep Recipes

As a homeschooling mom of 5, I discovered that Sunday meal prep isn't just helpful – it's absolutely essential for keeping our busy household running smoothly. Every monday morning, I wake up at 430 so I can dedicate a few hours to prepping breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and some dinner Items, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer!

My husband, who works a blue collar job, absolutely swears by his electric lunch box (seriously, it's his favorite thing ever!). Being able to pack him warm, homemade meals instead of relying on fast food not only saves us money but keeps him energized throughout his physically demanding workday. There's something so satisfying about knowing he's enjoying a hot, home-cooked meal during his lunch break!

Between managing our homeschool curriculum, keeping up with household chores, and making sure everyone's fed and happy, meal prepping has become my secret weapon for staying organized. It's not just about the food – it's about creating a system that gives us more time for what really matters: teaching our kids, spending quality time together, and maintaining our sanity in the beautiful chaos of family life.

Trust me, if I can do this with 5 kids running around, you can too! It might take a few tries to find your rhythm, but the peace of mind that comes with having prepared meals ready to go is absolutely worth it. Plus, there's nothing quite like opening the fridge and already knowing exactly what's for dinner!

Pull up a chair (and maybe grab a coffee), let's dive into what I'm prepping for this week!
