It’s hard to believe that our summer vacation is over already. We were lucky enough to stay at two different resorts this past week with some family members. We stayed at Riviera Resort which has been deemed a new favorite for me and that’s saying …

Yes, that only means one thing in our household…Olivia is finished with school! It took a little longer this year because of all the things that happened during it. From going on vacation, traveling a little during the fall to having friends move in with us for a few months. And then when my dad got sick and we weren’t so sure about if my grandma was going to make it, we have officially completed 9th grade! This year seemed to be more challenging then anything and when we were basically on lockdown with the whole Coronavirus, it’s been quite depressing for us all. But this summer we want to be able to do a few different things and enjoy life a little more.
This year we are trying our hardest to find some portable electronics to keep ourselves busy since we are still in lockdown a little. We are still allowed to go outdoors but many of the parks, businesses and more are still shut down. That means that even playing outdoors with others is really frowned upon in the state of North Carolina. Boo! It’s been incredibly hot so far and honestly since we don’t have a pool, we are staying inside instead. One of the things that we have looked into getting are new headphones for everyone in the family. I am looking into getting the new Apple Airpod Pros and Olivia would love to have a new pair of Beats for herself. Jason wants to get himself a new pair of Bose Headphones so it looks like we may be doing that this year.
We have found several things that we all would like to get and have found a good deal using Rakuten. So now we just wait to see if we are able to get those things…even if it’s getting them one at a time. We want to save some money and any little bit helps during these crazy times in the world! I can’t wait to start making new memories this summer with the family with new things happening and getting new portable electronics to help the lockdown more.

Disclosure: I did receive 3 months of using Prep Dish Meal Plan for free in addition to being compensated for this post. All my opinions are 100% my own!
When I first learned about Prep Dish Meal Plan I was super excited about using it. I was eager to get started with cooking healthy meals for my family and learning new dishes that I could cook. I was able to get a 3 month plan for free and enjoyed using it. I liked this plan because it is for people who are looking for delicious gluten-free and paleo dishes. I love this subscription because it helped me plan for the week that I wanted to cook and the meals I wanted to cook.
You log into your account and Prep Dish has already did the hard part for you. They have thought of a weeks worth of meals that feature seasonal ingredients to make the best meals on a budget. They understand that not everyone can afford some of the most expensive meals and they wanted this subscription to be for everyone. Along with the weekly menu, they also provide you with a grocery shopping list (how awesome this was to have) and instructions for prep day! Normally this would have taken me over the 2 hours they have already completed for us. And when it was time to start cooking, the easy to follow instructions were just perfect. I know that I personally am not the best cook in the world and I don’t like for my meals to take me all day to prep. This helped make those days that we had appointments for Olivia a lot better and more manageable.
And for when it was time to cook my meals, it only took roughly 20-30 minutes which is just the perfect time for me. I hate it when it takes longer than an hour for my meals to cook because I am the most impatient person in the world at times! One of our favorite meals that we made happened to be the Honey Mustard Chicken with Tarragon Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Asparagus. This meal we cooked often and still cook to this day! It was and is hands down my favorite meal by far.
Another recipe that we loved and still cook today would be Grass-fed Beef & Mushroom “Tacos”. I love how easy both of these recipes were to prep and make and when those days came we didn’t have a problem cooking them up. I even took one of them and used them in my instant pot which I loved doing. Sometimes I don’t have the time in the world so adding it to my instant pot helped some. I used it for Honey Mustard Pork Lion. Perfect for a day like today which is busy for work and all that fun.
When I think of the amount of times we have gone out in a month eating, it’s definitely the perfect amount. You can either select one of 3 subscriptions montly, yearly, and premium. Here is more information on the subscriptions you can choose from below.
These prices are definitely worth this meal plan and as soon as I can afford it again, I will be getting the monthly meal plan again!
