It’s time to streamline dinner prep even more. With a business to run and homeschooling to do (and maybe a little housework thrown in there too!), I just haven’t been in the mood to do major cooking lately.
A couple of weeks ago, I spent a chunk of time on Sunday afternoon pre-prepping a majority of our meals for the week. This week’s strategy is a bit different.
The goal this week is to spend 15 minutes or less on each day’s dinner prep. The goal is for each meal to take 15 minutes or less to prep.
:: Breakfasts ::
Easy Bananas & Cream Oatmeal
Eggs, Sausage, Fresh Fruit

Looks like a week full of yummy meals at your house! I can’t wait to read your gluten-free cornbread recipe. My toddler loves cornbread!

Thanks, Cassie! I made it last week but want to tweak a couple of things to make it even better. I’ll be sure to share when it’s ready. 🙂
