I moved to Mexico and got tired of spending my weekends meal prepping instead of exploring. So I put a freezer in my gym and cooked 2 months worth of keto meals. Enjoying my freedom today!

I posted this in a meal prep sub but thought I’d drop it here as well.
Costco freezer $325USD+ $25 delivery
Costco groceries $500USD
I have cooked almost all of my own food for years. Instead of knocking out a week at a time, I just made my meals until mid-March. There’s more in my actual fridge/freezer. I’ll do one-off stuff and fresh veggies, etc. as needed.
I prepped all of the ingredients on Friday night. First time I ever bought giant pieces of beef/pork and cut them down into cubes, strips, and steaks. I shredded all of the cheese, chopped the veggies, and ran the garlic cloves through the food processor. It took about 3 hours to do it all.
I managed to get through everything except all of the bacon. It took me about 7.5 hours to cook, cool, and portion everything out. I definitely started losing steam towards the end.
I based all of this on the recipes below and modified for my own personal taste and allergies. It is all keto (thanks for the weight gain, peri-menopause)
-sheet pan beef fajitas – beef strips, peppers, onions, garlic, seasoning blend, oil in the oven for 20 min
-pizza casserole – I made it up. browned ground beef, sauteed onions, peppers, garlic, pizza sauce, shredded mozz, and pepperoni on top
There are some other basic things like baked chicken thighs, sauteed mushrooms, etc.
