When I say Cinco de Mayo Edition, I just mean it’s the 5th of May. There’s nothing Mexican or even spicy about this meal prep. Sorry. Not really though.
But – yay for another successful meal prep! This one took me about 3 hours from start to finish, including washing produce, baking, grilling, assembling snacks and cleaning up. It sounds like a lot, but if I made my meals every day of the week it would take much longer. Plus, I wasn’t rushing and I may have taken a few breaks to watch whatever home show was on HGTV. Is that one of the signs of being an adult? Watching HGTV instead of VH1 must mean something.
Every time I’m at the grocery store and end up in a fit of rage because the packer is doing a terrible job and putting cold stuff in the same bag as dry stuff, smashing my delicate produce, etc…that’s when I truly know that I am an adult. Having a job and a car? Nope. Just the grocery store rage tells me I am grown up.
Anyways…
