Meal Prep Like a Pro - Slow Cooker & Skillet Favorites

Published about 18 hours ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

We're going window shopping this morning. We have gotten three quotes and holy moly 🤑💸

If you've gotten windows fairly recently, have you noticed a tint on them? Apparently for energy efficiency, there is a greenish tint which could be an issue for me and the natural light photography that I do.

Meal Prep Friendly Recipes

Make shredded chicken to use all week
Even cheaper than a rotisserie chicken
A crockpot turkey breast to switch things up
30 minute skillet - great with some rice
A big batch of salad to get your veggies in
These steak bites reheat really well
I always make two pot pies - one for now, one for the freezer
My kids pretty much exclusively eat green beans for their nightly veggie
And a little treat to get you through the week

I got my mom this bread box for her birthday a couple months ago & like it so much on her counter that I ordered myself one. It's coming today & I'm excited to put it together.

Talk to you tomorrow :)

Never lose a recipe again! 🥘

Hi Reader- I have a quick "techy" tip today that is actually going to make your life in the kitchen a whole lot easier 🤓 Have you ever searched for a recipe on Google, only to be buried in a mountain of results that aren't quite what you’re looking for? Or a bunch of sites that don't even look legit? (me too) Google has a new feature that lets you pick your "Preferred Sources." Basically, it’s a way for you to tell Google: "Hey, I know and trust Melissa’s recipes. Whenever I’m looking for...
