Meal prep is an easy way to save time and lower your family grocery bill! Each week I spend about 4 hours prepping most lunches, breakfasts and dinners, this saves me aleast 2 hours a day spent cooking! And when I go to the grocery store with a set plan, I spend wayyyy less!

Other simple meals to make for meal prep
- Protein boxes: we include some deli meat, cheese sticks, hard boiled eggs, celery and peanut butter, and nuts!
- Salad: I make one salad meal a week: chefs salad, taco salad, chicken caesar salad, or buffalo chicken salad.
- Peanut butter or Turkey sandwiches are a good filler for towards the end of the week when your meal prep might be running out
- Anything in the crockpot! You can prep it on your prep day but then not cook it until day of!
