One of the best ways to simplify meal planning is to build your own meal prep kit — and today I’m showing you exactly how I do it. This week, I’m prepping 10 meals for my daughter as she moves to a new town to start an exciting chapter in her career.
I do use a few Amazon products in these recipes.

Where do I find the little prep card instructions for these freezer meals for 1?
Hi Donna!
You could create the index cards yourself by hand or print the recipe, and put the recipe in the freezer bag. You can choose “smaller” as an option under the print option.
I hope this helps!
I just watched your YouTube video about this, and I love it! I will definitely be trying some, if not all, of these recipes!
