I find it hard to juggle being a wife, content creator, dog mom, friend, etc. most days, which makes it absolutely imperative for me to have quick things to grab from the fridge or freezer when I don't have time to cook a full, proper meal, or meal plan at the beginning of the week. Some of these items are more complete meals, but oftentimes, I find myself combining 2-3 of these items that each take very little time to prepare, to make myself a nice #girllunch or #girldinner that satisfies all the major food groups. I'm also throwing in some of my favorite snacks if you need an afternoon pick-me-up!
