After months of loose tracking and intuitive eating, I’m back on my macros this week, cutting for our wedding (100 days! Eek!). My travel isn’t making it easy, though, so I’m taking my meal prep along with me, thanks to my 6 meal ISO bag. In the bag this week is a new lo mein-inspired…
Main Course
Thai Mini Meatloaf Meal Prep
I have a strange love affair with meatloaf. It’s one of those comfort foods that I can never get enough of. Still, it’s hard to justify the fatty beef and mashed potato topping more than once a year, so I’m constantly on the lookout for a new, healthier take on the classic. Meet Thai…
