Part of Spring cleaning is getting organized in different areas of your life. What better way to get organized than by starting monthly meal lists! These meal ideas for April are perfect for spring and can be a great starting point for many other meals. 


April has so much promise, don’t ya think?

Baby chicks, plant sprouts popping up in the garden, weather warming up.

I just love it! 

It’s a great time to clean the house and get organized. That’s why I’m here to help you get organized with your meals!

If you don’t have a list of meal ideas for every month or season, you need to get on that. Pronto! It’s so helpful to have meal ideas at the ready, even, or especially, if you don’t meal plan.

Chicken shawarma is so easy to make at home and tastes so fresh and delicious!

As the days get warmer, it’s tempting to stay outside longer and put off cooking until you absolutely have to get dinner started. Try to get in the habit of prepping meals and/or ingredients ahead of time so you can more fully enjoy the warmer days.

Tuna melts are simple, easy, and delicious for lunch or dinner in early spring!
