Snow Day Meal Prep

Snow Day Meal Prep

Well that "snow day" was a bust! I think I would have rather had some snow so we could have gotten out and played in it, rather then sitting inside because it was raining and then freezing cold! But being inside helped me meal prep for the week, so something good came...
