Time to face another Monday, meal preppers!  This week I’ve got two new recipes coming at you and I definitely plan to use these ones again in a future meal prep.  The first is a baked barramundi (found it in the freezer section at HEB) with butternut squash mash and sautéed kale.  Yeah, I said it.  I sautéed kale again and I really like it.

The second new dish is a super duper easy (even for a crowd) Chicken Fajita Bowl.  Literally all you have to do is toss a few ingredients in a oven-safe dish, bake it off, serve it with rice, and top it off with guac and salsa.  Trust me, you’ll want to try it.  Here’s what else is on the menu this week:
