Reading · One Balanced Meal Prep

Upgrade to Paid

Hi friends! Happy Thursday! Happy back to school if you’re in that season right now too. I know August brings craziness with summer coming to an end and school starting back up, so I’m hoping that my new Back to Routine series can be helpful for you in feeding your family these next few weeks.

In case you missed it, I’ve shared two new recipes to the blog! These Savory Protein Muffins which are SO good to have prepped for easy breakfast in the mornings. There are many ways to switch them up and I truly think will be loved by adults and kids. I also shared a classic, Baked Ground Beef and Bean Tacos which are one of my go-to’s when I don’t know what to make for dinner. I generally keep these ingredients around too so there isn’t any last minute running to the store either. I’ll be sharing these recipes either exclusively here in my meal plans or on the blog.

For this week’s plan, we have another Back to Routine recipe featuring these Blueberry Cottage Cheese Protein Muffins. I know you may be sick of hearing about cottage cheese, but trust me it makes for such a great addition into recipes (and you can’t taste it!). As someone who didn’t like cottage cheese, I now love adding it into meals and especially baked goods for the added protein. These muffins are great for grab and go in the mornings or afternoon snack/treat!

Other meals on the menu this week are another favorite that’s great to prep for the easiest breakfast. These Make Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches have been a long time favorite in my meal prep and so easy too. Tip: make a double batch and keep them in the freezer for the next week!

I also did my Italian Grinder Chicken Salad which stacks up there as one of my favorite chicken salad recipes. It’s so flavorful and so good to have ready for lunches. This is also a Substack exclusive from a previous meal plan!

Lastly, I did my Crockpot Chicken Enchilada Casserole for dinner prep. I love the crockpot and can’t wait to pull it out more in the Fall/winter. It’s especially great when you’re prepping because you can toss everything in and let it do the cooking for you.

I hope you enjoy the recipes this week and can’t wait to see what you’re prepping!!
