May often feels busier than the whirlwinds of December, so I wanted to share this full Month of Freezer Meal ideas that I found on https://lifeofahomeschoolmom.com/category/recipes/. She has some additional great printable weekly meal plan ideas too. These days of baseball, yearly banquet events, driver's ed and wrapping up the end of the school year, along with prepping for summer has me spinning as I try to come up with something for dinners. But with these meal plan ideas, I get a chance to breath a little and planning truly does help maintain the grocery budget. The dates for 2019 aren't accurate on this calendar image, but it does give a way to just get going with some meal prep for the month, and you can tailor it to the weeks of this year or add in meals here and there to make the busy week's a little easier with some healthy and ready to eat slow-cooker meals. Here's the link for the first meal, and if you Google these you'll come up with an assortment of recipes to fit your meal and lifestyle.
