How to make Egg Cups

I make these for Easter each year and thought it would be fun to share. The Egg Cups are easy to make and are so cute!

Here is what you need:
Bread- any kind you want
Something to cut it with (I used a julienne cutter)
Eggs (one for each cup you make)
Rolling pin
Muffin tin

First your going to want to flatten your slice of bread

Once your bread is flattened you want to cut all of the crust off.

Gently fold your bread slices into your muffin tin


You can either cook your eggs in your muffin cups or you can scramble them stovetop and add the eggs to the cups afterwards (whichever you prefer) our kids prefer scrambled.

Cook at 350 for 10-15 mins (longer if you are cooking your eggs in the cups)

Take out and let cool, enjoy!

How to start meal prepping

A few years ago I started meal prepping and it changed our family for the better. Meal prepping is a fantastic way to save time, money,, and eat healthy throughout the week. I didn't realize how much it helped our family until I stopped meal prepping a few months ago. Afte everything sort of broke down and I realized how much time meal prepping was giving back to my life so I thought I would share some of the things our family does.   Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to get started with meal prepping:


Plan your meals: Decide on the meals you want to make for the week, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can include a variety of foods Make to keep your meals interesting or you can be a little crazy like or family and have themed weeks. Yes, we had a "asian week" and a "Mexican food week". My kids really get into it. 

Make a grocery list: Write down all the ingredients you need for your meals, including any snacks you want to have on hand.

Go grocery shopping: I find when I make the list above it helps me avoid impulse buys.

Prepare your ingredients: Wash and chop your fruits and vegetables, cook your proteins, and get everything ready to be portioned out into containers.

Portion out your meals: Use airtight containers to portion out your meals into individual portions. Label each container with the date and type of meal.

Store your meals: Store your meals in the refrigerator or freezer, depending on when you plan to eat them.

Enjoy your meals: When it’s time to eat, simply take your meal out of the refrigerator or microwave from the freezer, and enjoy!

Meal prepping is a great way to ensure you have healthy, home-cooked meals at your fingertips. With a little bit of planning and preparation, you can save time and money while maintaining a healthy diet.
