🍱 FREEZER MEAL PREP DAY 2 + 👩🏻‍🍳 COOKING FOR SANDY
If you saw my “Where Have I Been?” video:

… you’ll be all caught up but the gist of the last week is this…

I had a really rough week both physically and emotionally where I basically ate either a SmartOne frozen meal, a can of soup or a can of chili beans every day. Nothing to show you.

I didn’t cook and I didn’t make wise food choices from a food reactivity standpoint. Between weather changes, stress and eating far more processed stuff than normal… I currently have an +11.6lb inflammation gain.

So part of getting back into the swing of things is to prep a bunch of meals I could freeze so that if I am hurting, I can pull one out and know what I’m eating fits what I need to be doing.

Today was Day 2 of prepping and I had decided to make enough to take Sandy some of everything so she will have plenty to choose from.

Here’s the PREP LIST and recipes I based them on:

💉 If you aren’t familiar with my situation, basically I live with several autoimmune issues… an “inflammatory overstimulation response” brought on by my basic blood cells thinking they are Spartan Warriors and attacking everything in sight.
