Happy Monday again, meal preppers! I am loving the spring weather we’re having in San Antonio right now…it’s been around 75 degrees and sunny most of the past week and change. Although I think summer is well on it’s way – it’s going to be 87 later this week. Ooof. Good reminder that now’s the time to stick to my macros and get ready for sunny pool days! Here’s what’s on the menu this week:
