A few toddler meals on rotation lately 🍽️ Part two is coming with more ideas soon but what would you add to the list?

Every month the seasons hand us a new kind of grocery list, and May is one of the prettiest

Strawberries finally taste like strawberries again, rhubarb shows up at the market in those long ruby stalks, and asparagus is everywhere

This guide is your save-it-for-later list of what’s in season this month, plus a simple homestead recipe for each one

Save this for your next farmers market trip 🌿 And be sure to follow along for a new seasonal guide every month

Which one are you making first? 👇

With the holiday season fast approaching, I’m sure cooking a healthy dinner is the LAST thing on your mind!

Utilizing your slow cooker is the best way to solve this problem 🔥 Some of my favorite things to make are salsa chicken for burritos, tortellini soup, or even a pot roast, complete with carrots and potatoes!

And the best part? Most of the recipes only require you to dump in the ingredients then cook throughout the day, getting you back to your busy schedule in no time!

What other recipes would you make?

I hope you’re all having a good Tuesday!

Today is all about inventory! 🛒 Keeping an inventory will help you cycle through ingredients and meals. You’ll save money in the process too because you’ll use everything you buy!

Another reason to keep an inventory is to avoid repeatedly buying ingredients… I’ve definitely had at least 3 unopened containers of cocoa powder in my pantry before using this method 🙈😂

This week’s tip is to prep your veggies in advance! This always helps me eat healthier because it’s readily available when I’m hungry. This method also works for busy weeknights. Chop veggies in advance on Sunday for easy cooking (and minimal cleanup) for the rest of the week!

Happy Tuesday everyone! Rotating your freezer stash can bring so many benefits, including:

❄️ preventing spoilage/freezer burn

❄️ saving money by using up what you already have

❄️ clearing out space for more delicious meals

…and much more!

Remember, properly frozen food can last indefinitely but nutrient degradation starts as early as 3 months in the freezer!
