I was originally going to do my Kitchen Prep Day this week, but since it is Easter and my plate is full, I am going to do it next week. I will be cooking on Tuesday, April 6th. So, I hope you are ready to start planning and join me! Checkout my previous Kitchen Prep Day posts to get an idea of how to plan and what to expect.
There are some templates on my FREE Downloads page that you can use to help keep you organized.
- Freezer Inventory Sheet – Have you filled out your Freezer Inventory sheet yet? If not, this is the best way to stay organized and know exactly what is in your freezer. It makes your meal planning and cooking days so much easier!
- Meal Planning Spreadsheet – This is your roadmap to nightly dinners, a list of what you can make with what you have on hand. Use the Meal Planning spreadsheet to map out what you are going to cook for your Kitchen Prep Day.

I’ve just revived my bread machine from the depths of my basement, and would love to have some of your recipes! We’ve recently decided to tackle Sourdough… I’m starting my starter this weekend! 🙂
Stephanie – I have a few that I will try to start posting for you. I LOVE my bread machine. Also, post any great recipes you find too!
I have a great bread machine but need some ideas for using it. I did the boxed mixes and put it in storage. Guess I will dust it off and wait for your ideas.
