meal prep monday
sausage and cheese tortellini pasta (from freezer - seeing how this freezes/reheats - update: BEAUTIFULLY. threw into crockpot on low, waited until thawed to stir, added in more liquid)
+ caesar salad
- 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?

- note for next time on pulled pork: I thinkkk I prefer to sear it and cook it in crockpot (and, possibly, once finished, broil shredded pulled pork for a few minutes on a sheet pan to get caramelized edges?)
