[quote=Anonymous]Breakfast for my kiddo is usually a smoothie bowl. Once a week (Sundays) I preportion the frozen fruit with protein and green powders. Then to make she can empty the container into the blender, add 3/4 cup green juice and she's good to go. DH and I will eat fruit or I'll make a batch of muffins for the week. This week is pumpkin muffins.

Lunches right now DH and I do panini's. Nothing crazy fancy, but it's easy, quick and a warm lunch on a cold day. We sometimes pair with soup if we've got that leftover, or will swap for whatever dinner leftovers exist. DD takes dehydrated fruit, yogurt, and leftovers in her thermos for school. If no leftovers I'll heat up some mac and cheese or chili. When I make a big batch of chili I tend to put a few small servings into the freezer for her lunches.

I plan 1 instant pot and 1 crock pot meal per week. This splits up the week and makes cooking seem more manageable.

Sunday (prep day) I chop all my veggies (onion, peppers, carrots, celery) for dinners and put into the fridge or freezer depending on when I'm using it. This week I'm doing roaster butternut squash soup tonight with homemade biscuits. Tomorrow is instant pot chili. Wednesday I'll make a chicken pot pie. Thursday potato soup in the crock pot. Friday is always pizza night, and Saturday will be leftovers.

The Sunday prep day helps a ton, so does using some frozen ingredients. You'll get into a groove. A schedule/plan definitely helps. I do LOVE to cook but even I don't want to make every meal per day... I'd never have time to work![/quote]
