Monday:
meal prep monday - make something for freezer
- I like to halve the amount of sausage - and I like to slice the sausage, then quarter each slice, so it's smaller pieces (we like a higher ratio of sauce and tortellini to sausage)
- ALSO. We like to double the sauce + tortellini. BUT YOU DO YOU, BOO.
- And then at the end, I add a littleeee more cream/milk so that it's a bit saucier. And then I season to taste. This is not a health blog.
- freeze leftovers in containers like this or this?

- refried beans are from Chuy's, but I love this recipe

Wednesday:
chicken/fish + veggies
fish sticks with roasted veggies + bagged salad
- roasted brussel sprouts (I kinda wing this recipe, so take these directions with a huge grain of salt)
- i buy shredded brussel sprouts from HEB or Trader Joe's, I toss them in olive oil and generously sprinkle with garlic salt. I cook in an oven at 400 degrees (move the rack to the top third of the oven) and I cook until browned and crispy (like 30ish minutes? I DON'T KNOW). Then I drizzle them with TJ's Balsamic Glaze and put back in the oven for 2-3 miutes.
- maybe roasted sweet potato cubes (I cook them much longer - until caramelized)
