On the menu this week are some simple meal options! Meal planning helps make the week more calm and efficient. The rare week that I don’t have meal planning done really feels more chaotic and stressful! Some weeks I do an awesome job with meal planning and I have time to do all of my grocery shopping, meal prep and have everything really planned out, some weeks (like this one) just having the menu planned out is good enough!! It really helps to keep some basic items on hand to put together quick meals. I ordered 5 lbs of hamburger through a local site called Lonetree Foods. It’s a group of local farmers that sell produce, meat, cheese, etc. I love being able to buy locally and support local farmers.

- 3 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons of Red Wine Vinegar
- 1 Taco seasoning packet (or click here for a homemade version)
- 1 Ranch seasoning packet (or use a homemade version-1T dried parsley, 1tsp garlic powder, 1tsp onion powder, 1tsp dried onion flakes, 3/4tsp dill, 1/2tsp pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt)
*Throw everything in the crockpot, Cook on low all day, at least 8 hours
Holy Cow- it doesn’t get much easier than that!

Sweet Potato hash~
*Dice 2 sweet potatoes

*Put in some diced garlic, salt and pepper.
*Stir frequently and cook until potatoes are tender (easily poked with a fork, is the rule I use)

Sunday:
BLEATS- if you don’t know what these are you are truly missing out. Imagine a traditional BLT’s but you add an egg(fried) and avocado. They are pretty much one of the most amazing things you’ll ever have, so you should definitely try it if you haven’t.
