    🍽️ Meal Planning and Prep Tips

    I'm here to share with you recipes to make during the week that aren't hard to make and take little prep. Most feed 4 so if there are just 1 or 2 to feed, you may want to scale down and halve a recipe OR just make a couple of these and enjoy leftovers throughout the week.

    Most of my recipes are easy to make in a short prep time, however I do have some tips to help you with this week's menu!

    Any prep that can be done on Sunday (January 1) is called prep day.

    This week's meal plan is a little different because it involves Christmas leftovers and also because prep day is also New Year's day. For this reason this week is going to be made as easy as possible for you.

    There is an extra section this week with ideas for New Years Eve which falls on Sunday.

    • Make the meatloaf on prep day and store in the fridge until ready to bake on Monday. Remove meatloaf from fridge to remove some of the chill while the oven is preheating.
    • The tuna noodle casserole can be made on prep day and stored in the fridge until ready to bake. Remove casserole from fridge to remove some of the chill while the oven is preheating.
    • Depending on the thickness of your pork chops, the cook time may vary in the air fryer. Be sure to have an instant read meat thermometer handy to check temp as it cooks.
    • The chicken takes about an hour in the air fryer, while the chicken cooks, you have time to make the mashed potatoes and green beans.
    • After dinner on Thursday evening, dice up the chicken for the buffalo chicken baseballs to prep for Friday night dinner.
    • If enjoying the brownies this week, make them on prep day to allow you to enjoy them all week long!
