    ABOUT ME: Hi everyone! My name is Abby and I am a working mom living in Texas with my husband, Trey. We have three kids named Truett, Vera and Sybil. We live a very hectic and busy life trying to balance kids, family time, housework, and working full-time. I thrive on DIY projects, saving money, and anything homemade. My hope is to share with you an honest glimpse of our life. Thank you for taking the time to watch. :) Leave me a comment and share! xoxo

    And before anyone hates on pre-made items...keep in mind that it is still better than any fast food option -even the 'healthier' options out there!

      I doubt any mom hanging on for dear life day by day is going to hate on pre-made food options. I'm big fan of Costco's keto, veggie lasagna 😋. And just like that, the kids' dinner is on the table in 4 minutes!!

    This is so helpful. Meal prepping is so intimidating to me! For one, I have no idea WHAT to meal prep. You have good, simple ideas! I’m a stay at home mom and this would help me so much. I typically don’t even eat breakfast or lunch because I get too busy making all things for my toddler and baby! Thanks! 🙂

    Check your spray oil. I checked mine it had silicone in it. That was baking into my food. My mom checked hers and it had no silicone but it had propane.

    Love all your meals in this post!💜 I’d have to cut them in 1/3 for myself.. I’d have leftovers for days.. I’d personally never have time to eat it all in one sitting, on the go, as a nurse no time to eat, drink water or bathroom breaks until I get home. Can’t say how many times I’ve brought my bag packed full of goodies 1/2 eaten back home and gave to my dog...then all I wanna do is sleep!!! So bravo, it all looks so yummy! 😊

    1) do you reuse those meal prep containers
    2) while at work what do you do with the lettuce in your taco salad or do you eat the taco meat cold
