Breakfast hashes are always my go to on busy weeks. I meal prep them over the weekend and eat them all week long. It still amazes me how many people don't meal prep. Someone signed up for my meal plans recently and said she didn't realize she would have to meal prep. She was making all her meals at meal time and making different ones at that.

I'm a big believer in meal prep! Not only is it a huge timesaver (no multiple trips to the store or making multiple meals throughout the week), but it also saves you money from buying multiple foods you don't eat throughout the week and end up throwing out.

Call me crazy, but there's nothing better than looking in my fridge on Friday and seeing it empty. Meal plans work and make healthy eating so easy!

How To Make It

In a skillet! Everything is cooked on the stove together on the skillet until the veggies are tender and meat is browned. It's really simple! That's why I love making breakfast hashes for meal prep because they take less than 30 minutes and I can enjoy them all week long.

Helpful Tips

Buy pre-cut butternut squash. This is a HUGE timesaver! I'm all about taking shortcuts and saving time whenever possible. Buy freshly chopped butternut squash at the store in the produce section or in the freezer section. Make sure you thaw and pat dry with paper towels before cooking. Also note, thawed squash will cook faster than fresh.

    This is so delicious. I had to add half sweet potato and half butternut squash because my squash was on its last legs, but still, yum! I loved the combination of veggies with the sweet of the apple and cinnamon.
