For the past eight years I have planned meals when we go to the beach. It allows the Mom in me to truly be on a vacation by NOT having to worry about ‘What’s for Dinner?”. If you are renting a house, cabin or condo with a kitchen, I highly recommend planning meals while you’re there. It will save you a lot of time, energy and money. I like us to stay on our healthy meal plan and I particularly like using the saved money on our vacation recreation 
Here’s our line-up meals this week on our beach vacation. You’ll notice I use a lot of the protein from dinner for lunch leftovers. It makes lunch so much easier and more frugal.
Breakfasts {I generally rotate 3-4 available options}:
- Freezer waffles with fruit, World’s Easiest Boiled Eggs
- Make Ahead Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Bagels
- Cereal and milk, mini-bagels, fruit
- Fruity Overnight Oats {This is my new personal favorite; I’ve been enjoying blueberries and strawberries}
Lunches:
- Leftover Burgers and Dogs, pasta salad
- Southwest Freezer Wraps with leftover Steak Fajita, beans and brown rice
- Buffalo Chicken Wraps with leftover BBQ chicken
- Make Ahead Pizza Bagel Bites for Kiddos, Pineapple Chicken Salad Wraps
- Leftover Greek Chicken Spinach Salads and Chicken pitas for kiddos
- Turkey Sandwiches, carrot sticks and chips
Dinners:
- Steak Fajitas and Crock Pot Black Beans
- Chicken Parmesan and Alfredo Pasta
- Chipotle Turkey Burgers, Hotdogs for kiddos, Greek Pepperoni Pasta Salad
- Greek Chicken Spinach Salads {with cooked chicken made ahead of time shredded using my Kitchen Aid Mixer}
- BBQ Chicken Kabobs, brown rice and grilled vegetables
- Pizza Kit for 3 pies, salad
Instead of forking out lots of cash for our family to eat out, we’ll be enjoying our meals at the beach house. We’ll have more money and time for making memories because I’ve planned ahead.
Have you ever made freezer meals for your vacay?
