Welcome to Week 1 of my Summer Stock-Up Series! Each week, we’ll be prepping freezer-friendly meals and pantry staples to keep your kitchen Trim Healthy Mama-ready — even when life gets busy or the summer heat turns up.
This week is all about chicken — a lean protein that’s budget-friendly, easy to prep in bulk, and incredibly versatile across both Satisfying (S) and Fuel Pull (FP) meals.
Recipe #1: Lemon Rosemary Grilled Chicken (THM S)
This flavorful, low-carb grilled chicken is perfect for summer! With just a few simple ingredients, it makes the perfect main dish for salads, wraps, or just paired with your favorite non-starchy veggies.
Freezer Tip:
Double or triple the marinade and freeze the chicken raw in the marinade. Pull out to thaw overnight and cook when ready!
Recipe #2: Crockpot Verde Chicken (THM FP)This crockpot verde chicken is a must-have fuel pull staple. It’s incredibly easy to make and so versatile — use it in salads, taco bowls, or over cauli rice. It’s light yet filling, and perfect for warmer days.
Freezer Tip:
Freeze the cooked shredded chicken in meal-sized portions or freeze raw chicken with the verde ingredients to dump straight into your crockpot later!
Pantry Staple: DIY Taco Seasoning (Sugar-Free!)Skip the store-bought packets and make your own taco seasoning with clean ingredients you probably already have. This blend is perfect for seasoning chicken, beef, or even roasted veggies.
Make a big batch and store in a labeled mason jar for easy access all year long!
Bonus: Dry Ranch Seasoning (Perfect for THM S & FP)Here’s a super simple dry ranch mix that you can keep on hand to season meats, mix into Greek yogurt for dips, or add to casseroles. It’s sugar-free, additive-free, and delicious!

2 tbsp dried dill
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
