It’s clearly September, because I’m finding myself scrambling to get back into all things routine.
Is it just me? Or is this happening to you too?
And when chaos erupts in my life, I feel like healthy meals are the easiest thing to let slide if I don’t have a good plan in place, or at least easy and healthy go-to recipes that I can whip up in a flash.
If this is a problem for me, I figure I must not be the only one.
So, I thought I’d share with you some of my go-to recipes when life drowns me in too many “to-dos”. With these on hand, I’m able to keep my family eating healthy and skip take-out!

Plus, I’m sharing one of my fave meals to throw together during a busy weeknight (and it makes great lunch leftovers too!).
A little disclaimer for you – this recipe is low maintenance and pretty quick if the beans are already soaked. If you make them from unsoaked beans in a slow-cooker or instant pot it will take longer, but still requires very little prep work!
Alright – now it’s time for you to try my Maple Baked Beans recipe.
