I finally did it! After spending the last 6+ months getting fast food nearly every single work day, my partner and I have decided to start a meal prepping schedule! This week, our entrees include a taco pie and buffalo/bbq chicken sandwiches; our sides include cheese sticks, cheez-its and sandwich crackers; and our sweet treats include homemade chocolate pudding and Greek yogurt with peppermint bark and s’mores granola toppings! 😄🥳

Recipe for the taco pie if anyone’s curious:
• 2lb 85/15 ground beef
• 2 cans sweet corn
• 2 cans regular black beans
• 2 taco seasoning packets of your choice
• 2 cans Pillsbury crescent rolls
• 3 cups shredded cheese (we used mexican blend)
• 1 jar chunky salsa
• 1/2 cup white rice
• 1 cup water
Preheat your oven to 350°. Oil a 13×9 casserole dish and line your crescent rolls around the entire dish, making a pie crust.
Into a large oiled pan, brown your ground beef and strain the grease.
Add in your corn, beans, taco seasoning and salsa and stir to incorporate.
Add your rice and water and put the lid on your pan, letting the rice cook.
After your rice is cooked, pour the contents of your pan into the casserole dish, and layer the top generously with shredded cheese.
Place into the oven and let cook at 350° for 30 minutes, or until the bottom of your pie crust is slightly crispy.

Please post all of your recipes / complete list of ingredients!
We recently added a rule (#6) requiring either a recipe or list of ingredients, since it is so often requested. If you wouldn’t mind adding that we’d appreciate it!
That’s pretty incredible for a baby. That shows a lot of good hand/eye coordination! You must be so proud!
Looks great!! Congrats on the milestone! ✊
I would def try and cut back on how much of this is still highly processed… meal prepping cheez its and sandwiches is … honestly.. ??? Not really meal prepping IMO. We all start somewhere so it’s okay if this is the starting point but unless you’re allergic to vegetables or real food I’d shoot to do one full meal next week made from scratch in its entirety and work your way up to not just taking premade stuff and putting it into containers..
Here’s the rest of the recipes too!
Buffalo chicken sandwiches (makes 3 sandwiches)
• 1 lb shredded chicken, salt and peppered
• 1/2 cup buffalo sauce of your choice
• 2 tbsp mayo
• 6 slices of bread
• 3 slices Swiss cheese (or whichever you prefer!)
We cooked our raw chicken for this, but you can use pre cooked and shredded as well! Just incorporate the sauce and mayo into the chicken and lay out your sandwiches!

BBQ chicken sandwiches
• 1 lb shredded chicken, salt and peppered
• 1/2 cup bbq sauce of your choice
• 6 slices of bread
• 3 slices Swiss cheese (or whichever you prefer!)
Same instructions as above, pretty much 😅
• • •
Greek yogurts
• 1 cup low fat Greek yogurt
• 1 crushed candy cane
• 1 tbsp chocolate chips
and
• 1 cup low fat Greek yogurt
• premade s’mores granola
Please add vegetables.

Se ve muy rico
Those bento boxes look so perfect, where’d you get them?
