Life in the Cassels family is dynamic, to say the least, and we have so much to fill you in on! Tray is back from his hunting trip and recounts his experience in all its glory (and hilarity). We find out what knocked him off the bandwagon of his gluten-free diet and how he felt when he came home! Amy fills us in on the progress she’s making in real estate school, and for those walking the same path, she shares some helpful exam prep tips. While we’re on the topic of “prep”, let’s get into what we’re really here to talk about today: food prep! Amy shares her new food prep plan, the food groups she prepares, how she processes and stores them all, and the wonderfully easy (yet delicious) meals she’s able to make on the fly throughout the week! Finally, Amy fills us in on her new hair plan to prevent her hair from graying, prevent hair damage, and stimulate growth. Join us for this informative, yet fun episode about life according to the Cassels!
