January 4th Weekly Prep

Welcome to the first week of 2026! If you're feeling that familiar January motivation to get your kitchen back on track after the holiday hustle, you're in the right place. But here's the thing—I'm not here to overwhelm you with elaborate meal plans or unrealistic goals. Instead, I want to show you how a simple weekly prep session can set you up for success. Whether you're getting back into your rhythm after weeks of holiday treats and convenience foods, or you're ready to finally take back your kitchen this year, this week's prep is all about building momentum with manageable steps. We're focusing on real food, simple techniques, and creating a foundation that actually fits into your busy life with your family. Remember, meal prep Is NOT a one size fits all. Even prepping a couple things for your family will make those busier days feel so much lighter. Let's make this the year homemade cooking becomes your normal!

You'll find the cookie dough protein bites in my prepped to perfection recipe book and the chocolate veggie muffins in my snack stash recipe book. You can get them 30% off when you purchase the Ultimate Homemade Bundle which includes 4 of my best selling books!
