      I plan ahead. I prep foods and plan my menu on Sunday, cook freezer meals in advance by a month, and roll meals into one another. It takes practice, but I’ve gotten it down to a science!

    You’re so organized with your menu planning. I’m so awful at it, but I’m trying to get better. Thanks for sharing your menu ideas on Merry Monday linky party.

    Not gonna lie- what caught my eye first were the brownie flurries made with leftover brownies. What can I say, I’m a kid at heart! Clever idea.
    Excellent ideas that I can certainly learn from. Looking forward to more! Thank you for sharing.
