Typically, when I meal prep, it's breakfast options to make our mornings go more smoothly and snacks for school lunches and after school. Dinners are usually cooked every night from scratch which works just fine with plenty of easy meal options, but one recipe I do always like to have prepped and in my freezer for emergencies are these turkey zucchini meatballs. Thanks to the zucchini, these meatballs are super moist and tender and also pack in some extra veggies. My kids will have these heated ... continue reading...

Frosted Sugar Cookie Bars
When it comes to desserts, I am typically someone who requires chocolate. I love a gooey brownie or cookie loaded with chocolate chips, and dark chocolate peanut butter cups are my favorite candy to keep on hand.
