ABOUT

Hello! My name is Marina Racetin and I am a mother, wife, working professional and a huge outdoor enthusiast.

My biggest passion is my family. I have incredible twin baby girls, Alex and Kate, and an exceptional little boy, named Jasper. My husband (also Alex) is always encouraging my “dreamer-and-do-er” side, which means there are some beautiful disasters in our lives. My second greatest passion is cooking healthy meals for my family. After having twins, I became obsessed with finding ways to save time and energy so that I had more time to spend and enjoy with my family, as well as for myself. We’ve always led healthy lifestyles and clean eating has been a significant part of that, but with a large family and meeting various needs daily, it seemed impossible to find any time to cook. I needed that to change and I started to research recipes that were “do-able” and simple for a busy mom, or a busy anyone, yet still nutritious, wholesome and that could yield several servings. I created plans to combine different recipes that provided a variety of meals that were achievable in a limited timeframe. It was a huge bonus when I discovered the kid-friendly ones, as tried and tested by my 3 minis. In my research and prep I discovered the true power of a freezer and a wealth of amazing options it created for future family meals. When my friends and family started asking me for tips on how to batch cook and freeze food, I knew there was a need to enable others to also prep-up. And that is how my method “PrepUpbyMarina” was born! 

I hope you enjoy my blog and feel inspired to save time, money and your sanity in preparing delicious meals.
