    Meal planning and prepping tips

    If you stick to the basics, meal planning can be a breeze!

    1. Choose your recipes.
    2. Make a list.
    3. Shop your refrigerator, freezer, pantry and spice cabinet before going to the store.
    4. Then go grocery shopping.
    5. Prep what you can in advance.

    Check your calendar before going shopping. Are there days when you'll be out late and take out is better? That's ok, just pick the recipes that work for you.

    One you get home from thee grocery store, prep the items that you can (if you have time of course). If there are vegetables that can be cleaned and diced - do that now. Store them in reusable containers or ziplock bags in the refrigerator so they are ready when you need them.

    You can even measure out ingredients in advance. It's amazing how much that time it saves you when you're in a hurry and have had a busy day.

    Items to prep in advance

    Weekly Meal Plan 4 meal prep is quite simple!

    Yellow and red onions can be diced. Bell Peppers, carrots and celery can be diced as well.

    Grate the parmesan and mozzarella cheese in advance.

    January 23

    Taco soup in black bowl topped with sour cream, A is used to scoop a big bite.

    Taco Soup

    I'm such a fan of this meal. Mom has made it for years it's the best taco soup recipe ever! What makes it especially yummy is it's pretty much brown the meat, then dump in the cans.

    This really is a meal in itself, but if you're looking for something else, make this recipe for Cast Iron Skillet Corn Bread. It's the best combination!

    January 24

    Slow cooker filled with chicken and gravy with ladle of meat.

    Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy

    Crockpot Chicken and Gravy is a dump in the slow cooker and 8 hours later you'll have meal time perfection!

    Serve it over cooked rice, mashed or baked potatoes, even buttered noodles.

    Save about two cups for Thursday's meal.

    January 25

    A bowl of lemon pasta served with slices of lemon. A fork has twirled a big serving around it, ready to eat!

    Lemon Pasta Recipe

    No secret how good AND easy this meal is! In the time it takes to boil the pasta, the sauce is done. It's so simple and really flavorful - 20 minutes to make!

    If you prefer some meat add some leftover grilled chicken or roasted shrimp to this lemon pasta recipe - either way, it's delicious!

    January 26

    Turkey Pot Pie in green ramekin with spoon.

    Chicken Pot Pie

    Remember that leftover chicken from Monday night? Now's the time to make use of it by making Chicken Pot Pie!

    Now don't worry if you don't have small ramekins. Just make it in a pie plate. If you have leftover mashed potatoes (from the chicken and gravy meal), add that instead and you'll have shepherds pie!

    You'll need about one cup of leftover chicken and gravy, leftover grilled chicken or a cup of rotisserie chicken. Then simply follow the Pot Pie Recipe.

    Chicken pot pie is really a meal in itself, but if you'd like a side dish with it, how about some roasted asparagus? One of my favorite veggies! Of course I'm in California and here we'd just fire up the grill, but if you're not enjoying warm weather, here's what you need to do:

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Toss the asparagus in olive oil, salt & pepper and roast for about 15 minutes. YUM!

    January 27

    Italian pepper stew in an aluminum pot with a ladle grabbing a big serving, served with fresh bread.

    Italian Pepper Soup

    I always say something magical happens when bell peppers are cooked! Bell Pepper Stew has the most amazing flavor. It's vegetarian and costs just pennies to make. I know once you try it, you'll enjoy it as much as we do.

    Save your leftovers for lunches the rest of the week. It doesn't freeze well, but will keep in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.

    Serve this with some Pizza Hut Breadsticks - this recipe is so easy!

    January 28

    Chicken in cast iron skillet.

    Skillet Chicken and Potatoes

    Cast Iron Chicken and Potatoes is such a great one-pan meal! The chicken gets a crispy skin and roasts on top of the potatoes imparting all that flavor. Delicious!

    Serve with steamed Brussels sprouts.

    January 29

    Bowl filled with sausage cabbage Asian stir fry.

    Egg Roll in a Bowl

    I love this quick and easy dinner. It only takes 20 minutes to make!

    Easy Egg Roll in a Bowl is so good!

    Make it a part and serve with Pot Stickers with Citrus Ponzu Dipping Sauce!

    Dessert

    Caramel Popcorn topped with candy and sprinkles.

    Caramel Popcorn

    You're thinking what? I buy that, I've never made it! Well let me tell you, it's SO GOOD and simple to make!

    Bonus? It freezes great as well, make a double-batch because this is going to go super fast.

    We love how easy this caramel popcorn is and how delicious too! It's a great snack all week long.
