Meal Prep & Leftover Tips

Crock Pot Beef Roast: For the most tender roast, I recommend a beef chuck roast. It’s well-marbled and flavorful, and after several hours in the crock pot, it becomes incredibly tender.


Three Bean Salad: You can use any kind of beans you have on hand or like — garbanzo, black beans, navy beans — or make it a 4 or 5 bean salad. Feel free to add some crunchy veggies like bell pepper and cucumber.


Skillet Cinnamon Apples are sweet and easy to make. They are the perfect side dish at the holidays.

Skillet Cinnamon Apples: For this recipe, you can use almost any kind of apple. I like a combination of Honeycrisp and Granny Smith for a sweet yet tangy flavor. Toss some on Southern pound cake, top your favorite ice cream, or eat for breakfast over pancakes or waffles.


Perfectly cooked slice of a gluten free frittata on a plate with strawberries beside it.

Sausage Frittata: You can throw in almost any leftovers you have in the fridge — mushrooms, spinach, bell pepper, and diced potatoes, chorizo, bacon, or diced ham, cheddar, feta, goat cheese, and pepper jack are all great additions.


Gray stock pot with mushroom soup and fresh thyme.

Healthy Mushroom Soup: Making You can make this soup in the crock pot. Sauté the onions, carrots, celery, and mushrooms in a skillet first, then transfer everything to your slow cooker on low for 5-6 hours or high for 3 hours.


Roast beef sandwiches with melted cheese and sauteed onions in toasted buns are served with a side salad for a delicious weeknight meal, game day, or a get-together with friends.

Roast Beef and Cheese Sandwiches: Use up any leftovers from your pot roast and make these melty, juicy, sandwiches that are loaded with flavor!


Southern Pound Cake: Since this recipe does not have any leavening, it’s important to beat the butter, shortening, and sugar for 5-7 minutes to whip air enough air into the batter.
