This month, we welcome back Marta Rivera for more of her meal plans. Marta is a trained chef, mom of twins, and Army wife – and she is also one of our Simply Recipes contributors and recipe testers!
I don’t know about you, but I find that just because I’ve fallen into a school/life routine by this point in the fall, it doesn’t mean life is easier. It typically takes me a couple of months to find my scheduling groove. Summer break does that to me for some reason.
And then, just when I think I’ve mastered the calendar — the holidays roll around and I’m back on the hamster-wheel.
The most powerful weapon I have in arsenal is my deep-freezer. As a food blogger, there’s always food that needs to be made, but not always the desire to actually make it — can you relate?
On those days when I don’t want to cook dinner, I like the option of going to my freezer and grabbing a pre-made meal that can be thawed and re-heated. I get a break from the stove without my family and I having to sacrifice a healthy, home-cooked meal.
For the meals this week, either do some prep work over the weekend so your freezer is stocked with food, or if you’re cooking during the week, make a double-batch and freeze the surplus for a meal down the road.
