My husband and I spent three days over the last weekend to meal prep. We ended up with over 600 individually portioned meals. We made 13 different meals, with some of them being flexible in how they are served: fajitas/stir fry.

How much did you pay for the ingredients this is wild.
Recipes! Come on .
An average of 46 servings per meal? Are you worried you’ll get tired of them?
This is impressive! Do you keep any fresh ingredients to throw in that maybe don’t freeze well?
I hope you have a generator 🫣
Wow, that’s 3 meals a day for 2 people for 100 days or ~3 months!! That’s amazing. What are the 13 meals that you planned?
How many people does this cover? Just you and your husband or are there more?
We have something called Love Fridge near me. It is a refrigerator/freezer and small alcove available to the public. People donate food components like bread loaves and bags of apple but also meal sized portions of prepared foods.I donate leftovers from Thanksgiving in reheatable containers from carry out places: turkey slices, mashed potatoes green bean casserole. You are required to have a label showing ingredients, but thats all.
People can donate and people can take food as needed. Usually there is a neighborhood person who hangs around to informally keep an eye on things,but it works well on an honor system.
What are you, a restaurant?
Honestly I’m impressed but it seems…. excessive? What’s the reasoning for so many at a time, just to get it done with?
Legendary!!!
Meals? **Prepped.**
Have you considered selling some of those to your neighbors?
I love you so much and also can you come do this for my freezer too? 😂
Living my dream
This is where I need to be.
Would love to know how long this took you
Would some of this go bad before you get to eat it?
where do you keep your fruits and herbs etc?
This is where I’m at too, at some point you have to start eating the food!! 🤣🤣
I’m curious to hear more about your process over the three days of prepping, if you feel up for sharing more.
Careful, Icarus!
Is that a giant block of paneer in the last pic?? 🤩 Or is my perspective somehow off?
This is the perfect amount of meal prepping, btw.

Dude can you meal prep for me? I’m autistic and burnt out and can’t get the energy for it right now.
You win. That’s awesome!
How long did it take to do all the dishes?
Congratulations now you never have to cook again
Enjoy not cooking for 3 months!
Well, now you’re just showing off 😉
It’s impressive and daunting at the same time.
I am interested in sincere friendship with you hahaha
You are our new meal prep god!!! Amazing. So pleasing to look at!
Amazingly impressive. 🍽️
Wow – this is impressive!
If the apocalypse kicks off I know who I want to be friends with
Bro is starting a restaurant
I can’t even imagine the level of organization it takes to do this
I’ll do some prepping like that then the next night I’ll have a craving for takeout lol.
Yet, all I thought to myself was, “This is the kind of person I want to be friends with.” Lol
Ummmm how will you eat all
That in time ? Spoilage ??
Why though? I get meal prepping for a week to save some time, but at this point I don’t know how you won’t get tired of the same thing over and over and over! Won’t it get freezer burned?
You wont have to cook for so long, you might forget how.
are you feeding a whole army???
You’re welcome to come to my house 🏠 and prep your heart out !!! I’m so impressed!! Way to go …. Hope you have a generator in case the electricity ⚡️ fails !! Bon appétit !!! 😋
