April Menu Ideas

We’re sharing April Menu Ideas today!

After embracing a slow March, April finds us back on the road again celebrating birthdays, Easter, and other special occasions.

I’m so thankful we chose to ease into the year after a busy holiday season because it allowed us to take a breath and get crystal clear on our priorities.

While we’re careful to keep our focus to 90 and 30-day increments, Spring always feels like a fresh start and that sense of renewal is a fabulous motivator.

If Q1 didn’t look quite like you expected, use Q2 to prioritize your goals and dreams.

There’s still time to make them come true!

Here’s a look at what we’ll be serving up in April…

April Menu Ideas and Things to Keep in Mind…

April is a big month for spring cleaning #allthethings!

While we’re making lots of progress on our decluttering and organization goals, and making time to refresh our hearts with these 20 Ways to Align Your Growth with The Season.

In addition, we’re looking forward to things that help make our meal prep easier like these 25 Lunches You Can Meal Prep on Sundays and these 20 Quick and Healthy Lunch Ideas You Can Make on Your Busiest WFH Days.

Breakfast is hands down my favorite meal of the day, so while I’m diving into these 50 Energizing Affirmations for Spring, I’ll also be looking forward to making these 50+ Healthy Breakfast Ideas.

As always, you can find out How to Meal Plan By The Month here, our January Menu Ideas here, February Menu Ideas here, March Menu Ideas here, and a DIY Dinner Decision Jar for when you don’t feel like cooking at all.

Until next time, I’ll see you on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest.
