Quick, Easy & Healthy Recipes To Make Your Life Easier

Happy Saturday!
Recipe ideas was one of the most popular requests in the survey we sent out, so I definitely wanted to take the time to put together a little recipe guide for you.
From what I’ve been hearing, designers are crazy busy right now. Everyone is ready to get their house looking beautiful.
So what does that mean for you?
Long hours and not much time to care of the every day stuff, like cooking and cleaning. Is this you?
I want you spending less time in the kitchen and more time either relaxing (I hope you’re doing this) or creating amazing designs for your clients.
Here are 10 recipes that you can make quickly and that will make your life a whole lot easier.
Easy Instant Pot Chicken & Rice
Instant Pot Frittata Breakfast Casserole
Slow-Cooker Basil Chicken in Coconut Curry Sauce

The Power of Prep
Never underestimate the power of meal-prep! Many think that meal-prep means preparing every bit of food for the week, all the lunches, all the dinners, all the snacks or whatever else, all in advance. This is not true at all. In fact, just prepping one meal, one-item, or one type of food can make a huge difference.
April Firestone (@april_themacromama on Instagram) , fitness coach and full-time mama, suggests prepping your protein only as your first step. This alone is going to help you meet your goals. Take it one step further by prepping all of your veggies or pre-cooking your rice.
Even just placing snacks in easily grabbable baggies is going to make your life so much easier.
You can even just chop anything that needs chopping for your meals, so that when you go to cook, it’s already ready.
Start by taking one hour each weekend (or any day where you can find an extra hour) to cook as much food as you possibly can for the week. Prep
Are you catching my drift? Don’t get stuck in all-or-nothing mindset. No matter what you do, it’s going to make a difference in your week.
If you don’t have an instant pot or crock pot, these tools will be your best friend. If you are going to choose between the two, I would definitely choose an instant pot. This is basically a super-advanced and quick version of the crock pot!
This will change your life, I promise.
Happy Cooking!
