It’s December 11th and life is moving at the speed of light.

To add an extra layer of fun to our lives I am going to be helping out a friend and doing some fragrance freelancing the last 10 days before Christmas.  This kinda gives me mini-panic attacks!!!  😉

So…it’s not a good week for me to wing it with our meal plan!

It took me a few hours to get all this done- but I am basically set up for the week with breakfasts for myself and the boys, lunches for myself and food prepped for easy packing for the boys and dinners are planned.

Breakfast:

• 4 jars of overnight oats for me- click here for recipe!
• pancakes and french toast made for the boys
• hard boiled eggs on morning I don’t have the time or patience to make scrambled

Lunch:

• 4 jars of salads ready to go- here’s my favorite dressing!
• hard boiled eggs to add to salads (if I don’t eat them at breakfast)
• 2 sweet potatoes cooked in my Instant Pot to quickly warm up.
• shredded chicken made in my Instant Pot to add to salads or to a wrap
• mystery tupperware defrosting- it is either spaghetti sauce or chili- either will make quick lunches for the boys.
• fruits drawer full of apples and cuties
• veggies cleaned and cut for easy adds to lunches or to snack on

Dinner:

• Monday- Red Beans and Rice in my Instant Pot (new recipes- I will share if it works out)
• Tuesday- eating out while visiting Santa
• Wednesday- Perfect Chicken and potatoes
• Thursday-Tacos

After sitting down to plan and doing the work to prep all of this I am feeling pretty good about the busy week ahead.  I also love that since I did most of the work today there is much less mess and dishes to wash through out the week!

Here we go!  Its almost Monday.
