Southern Meal Planning—So Much Better Than Take-Out


Hey Reader!

Having to switch back to work/school/reality mode after holiday season can feel like a massive effort. A couple weeks ago you were living off of Christmas cookies, gifted toffee, and leftover ham and now you have to cook and eat like a civilized person?

I'm here to help with easy meals that you can throw in a crock pot or are easy to prep, will stay fresh for days, and reheat beautifully!

Cook Once, Eat Well All Week

Grilled Lemon Chicken

This flavorful chicken can be used as a main dish with your favorite healthy sides, on top of salads, in sandwiches, and pasta!

Morning Glory Muffins

Loaded with carrots, coconut, walnuts, apples, zucchini, and the just right amount of spice, they're the perfect grab-and-go breakfast or snack.

Garden Vegetable Soup

It’s easy to make, low in fat and calories, and features flavors that can be enjoyed any time of day!

The Best Tuna Salad

Prep this classic tuna salad ahead of time and enjoy on sandwiches, on a salad for a protein boost, or with crackers or tortilla chips!

Egg Breakfast Muffins

Make these egg muffins ahead of time using whatever you like or have in your fridge, refrigerate for up to 5 days, and just pop in the microwave for a hot breakfast!

Southern Caviar

This recipe can be served as an appetizer, side dish, on top of grilled seafood or chicken, or as a healthy lunch or snack!

Caprese Pasta Salad

Pasta salad is kind of the ultimate meal prep. Customizable, doesn’t need to be reheated, and only gets better after being refrigerated.

Bloody Mary Chili

A hearty bowl of goodness loaded with beef, beans, and warm, spicy flavors, and leftovers are even better the next day!

Cozy Crock Pot Soup Recipes

Crock Pot Soups are one of my favorite ways to bring together simple ingredients, big flavor, and cozy comfort — all with very little effort.
