Meal Prep – From a week long, long ago

Meal Prep


Well, as the name suggests this is a prep I did a while back but just haven’t had the chance to post!  What’s ironic is that I just made some turkey meatballs and slow cooker verde chicken yesterday too…but the meatballs were for an appetizer which I’ll share soon.  Btw, did you know that if you wrap up a skillet full of meatballs covered in tomato sauce with aluminum foil it will EAT AWAY THE FOIL?!  Apparently the tomatoes are acidic enough to do that.  Kind of scary :/
