Sundays are where I organize our meals. I don’t meal prep in the traditional way of cooking a bunch of meals and putting them in the fridge for myself and Lee to grab for dinner and lunch. Instead, I peruse different websites and find what I want to make for the week and make sure we have the ingredients for said meals. The odd time I will prep a sauce or something like that but typically I just make sure I have the ingredients on hand… lol that is enough prep in my mind. I will typically try to cook things that have the same ingredients to help with food waste and it has been going really great. The kids on the other hand, that is where I like to meal prep and have things that are quick and ready to go. They typically eat what we eat but there are days we are eating things that are spicy so I do like to have meals ready to go. We are also sticklers for a whole foods and nutritional breakfast. No cereal or pop tarts in this house. Again, no judgement it’s just never been something we have never fed our kids so they don’t ask for it. The other day when I shared on IG a few things I prep for my kids I had a couple of you asking for the recipes and although I more of a guessapee girl, I will try my best to put them writing for you! Some are my own and some are taken from other websites… I will share below:

Breakfast: This is not alway the same but typically we always have eggs prepared in some way for breakfast. This has been our go to lately! We call them rainbow egg muffins and the kids love them!

Rainbow Egg Muffins
+2 ripe bananas (fresh works best)
+5 eggs
+berries

Smash the bananas, add in the eggs, mix together, pour into muffin tin! I prefer these silicon ones. Make sure you oil these well they like to stick!
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. You will know when they’re done, just touch the middle and if they’re solid they’re good to go!

Lunch: We ALWAYS have a batch of Hulk Mac + Cheeses in the freezer! The kids have always loved them but Dane is especially loving them now that he is a Hulk fan! This is just a fun spin on mac and cheese but it’s PACKED with goodness! You can find the recipe here! I make a big batch and then freeze them in these containers. They are super handy. They’re on the pricy side but trust me they’re worth it!

Dinner: This week I tried a new chicken nugget recipe and the kids really loved them! I can’t take credit for this recipe- I will link it here! I made a double batch, flash froze them on my cookie sheet and then popped them in a ziplock bag.  I just throw them in the air fryer and they’re perfect for dinner! If you kids like dipping their nuggets, try mixing a olive oil mayo and honey (make sure you baby is over a year if you’re serving honey) it is a delicious healthy alternative to ketchup. Whip up some rice, and throw some veggies or sweet potato fries in the air fryer and you’re good to go.

Snacks:
MUFFINS! What kids doesn’t love muffins?! We have a few that we rotate between week by week but lately we have really been loving these ABC Muffins! Again, I cannot take credit for this recipe either- here is the link for the recipe!

Fruits + Veggies: this is not ground breaking but I swear if you wash, chop, and store your fruit and veg so it is ready to grab and go you (and your kids) will eat it and lots of it. I always have this container full of a variety of fruits and veggies and usually restock it 2-3 times a week. If you don’t have a container like this yet, I HIGHLY suggest it. It is perfect in the summer for beach days, picnics, or even in the car for road trips. I haven’t had it in the cupboard since I purchased it, it is always being used.

I hope your kids like these recipes as much as mine do!

The Eloise Eyelet Blouse
This blouse is the first one in the collection as soon as I saw it I was like YES! It’s a feminine blouse that has the prettiest details: functioning buttons, square neckline, eyelet details on the sleeve and throughout the body, sheer sleeves, lined body, and elastic ruching through the body making for a super flattering and easy fit!

This blouse fits true to size. Holly is wearing size small.

Available in sizes S-L.

The Poppy Blouse
I have been seeing blouses like this and I absolutely love them! Most of the poplin blouses I have seen in this style are white and as much as I love white I am just not in my white clothing era #momlife. This blouse has playful puff sleeves, fun tie details and peplum! Whether you’re heading to a summer brunch, a casual day out, or a fun evening gathering, this blouse will leave your feeling like a million bucks!

Holly is wearing a size small. This blouse fits true to size but if you’re larger in the chest area we would suggest sizing up to accommodate.

Available in sizes S-L.

The American Motors Tee
This tee is the same fit and feel as the I love LA and the Malibu Maybe tee you all love! It’s perfectly oversized, has the cutest graphic (the colour combo is just perfection) and has the vintage lived in feel we all have come to love!

This tee fits oversized. Holly is wearing a size small.

Available in sizes S-L.

Daisy Dreams Long Sleeve
When I saw this long sleeve I had to bring it in. It is the same shirt as the Forever Floral you all went nuts for just a gorgeous cream color with a fun daisy patter. It is double lined through the body but sheer on the sleeves! Wear this with jeans, denim shorts, or to work under a blazer! It is the perfect not so basic, basic to add to your closet this season.

Available in sizes S-L.

Never Better Jacket
This is the first windbreaker style jacket I have brought in and I am so excited about it. The textured nylon fabric is perfect to help protect you from the elements all while looking stylish. It has kangaroo pockets, an elastic hem, silver zipper pull, and oversized funnel neck! This jacket is a relaxed fit and fits true to size. Holly is wearing a size small.

These pajamas are the epitome of comfort and style! The leopard pattern is sooo cute and so on trend! The style is just adorable and they are so comfortable- what else could one need?! Holly is wearing size small and they fit true to size!

Champagne Pop Mini Dress
The last time I asked you all what you wanted me to bring in I had lots of requests for fancier dresses that could be worn to Christmas parties, weddings, and just formal events in general! This grabbed my attention right away… I mean just look at it! The adjustable length is so fun- pull the strings to make it shorter, loosen them for length!
The spaghetti straps are adjustable, the chest is double lined and has a gorgeous draping detail, and the colour is just pure perfection! 10/10 OBSESSED!

Available in sizes S-L.

Brighter Days Button Down 2.0

I feel like I don’t need to do much explaining when it comes to this top! The BDBD is my most popular selling item… ever! So when I saw this version I had to bring it in! I absolutely LOVE the pastel colour blocking and the slit details on the side- a few upgrades to the original!

Available in sizes S-L.

Summer Nights Long Sleeve
This long sleeve was likely the easiest piece for me to name as it is just so perfect for summer nights! Picture sitting around the campfire, on an evening bike ride, or just walking out to get some ice cream… this is your grab and go piece! It fits true to size. Holly is wearing a size small!

Speaking of smoothies, I share my fav protein on my stories today and said I would share the recipe and I thought I would just post it here so you can refer back to it whenever you need. The good thing about the protein I take is it really is a full meal replacement just on it’s own… you don’t need to add anything to it to make it a full meal. Now, I am going to be honest it is just okay tasting if you just mix it with a milk of your choice, but if you add just two ingredients I promise it is SOO good! Oh my it is seriously do die for!  This protein powder has 24 grams of protein in a single serving which according to Lee, is very good. In fact, he did his calculations on this nutritional facts and he was very impressed! He has informed me he will be switching to this protein once he finishes his MASSIVE container he got from Costco lol. He said the macros ingredients are very good. To be honest I don’t know a whole lot about that but the way he explained it to me is you should have 2 to 1 protein vs carbs or more. So basically you should have twice as much protein as you do carbs in a protein supplement and this does… it actually has more than double.

Last, the coffee flavoured protein is ELITE…the coffee flavoured protein blended with milk and lots of ice, I it tastes like a frap! Such a good little afternoon treat!

Okay, I am going to share two recipes. They’re both super quick and delicious but the one only has 3 ingredients which is right up my alley! The other has a few more if you’re looking to switch it up or add some more healthy fats in there!

Funky Monkey Smoothie (My fav)

1/2 banana
1 heaping scoop natural peanut butter
About half a cup of your milk of choice (I use Almond)
Scoop of Chocolate Meal Replacement Shake (24 grams of protein!)
ICE- don’t skip the ice!

Blend it up and enjoy…. seriously so good!

Berry Chocolate Smoothie (Lee’s Fav)
1/2 cup frozen berries from Costco
Scoop of peanut butter
Milk of choice (he uses almond)
1/4 egg whites
Handful of spinach
ICE- again don’t skip the ice!!

Blend and enjoy!!

Here is the link to the protein I am talking about and right now is the perfect time to order as there are so many perks! Right now if you spend over $165 you get your Preferred Client membership for FREE… and don’t worry, it does not auto renew so you don’t need to worry about having a random charge a year from now and wonder what the hell it’s for!  Wondering what preferred client gets you?!
