Hey guys! I’m finally back with a Meal Prep Monday post after a couple month hiatus while writing my second meal plan/meal prep eBook. This post will look a little different than some of my previous meal prep posts because: 1) I have a new blog design that incorporates recipe cards, and 2) I can actually use multiple recipe cards in one post now! Which is awesome for you because now you can easily print all the recipes for the week, or at least whichever ones you want.
Two of the recipes for the week have their own blog posts, so I went ahead and linked back to them in the meal plan in case you want to see all their glamour shots. Otherwise, just keep scrolling for the full recipe cards. And with that…I leave you with my meal plan. Happy Meal Prep Monday!
