MAKE AHEAD VEGGIE CHILI | MEAL PREP FOR NEW PARENTS
Hi Friends! Welcome back to Healthy Grocery Girl. Today I’m sharing with you how to make a Very Veggie Chili!
My husband and I are expecting our first baby due early April, 2018. In preparation for her arrival I’ve started creating a list of recipes I want to meal prep and freeze so that Aaron and I have nourishing meals after her delivery. Soups and chilis are my go-to meal prep dish because they are easy, a great way to sneak in tons of veggies and protein and the leftovers last for days! Another tip – make a double batch when you’re cooking whether you plan to freeze all of it or eat half now and freeze half for later!
