Meal Prep should not be boring or time-consuming! Meal Prep Burrito Bowls use my popular freezer friendly IP or slow cooker carnitas recipe for the win!
Good morning friends! No baby yet! I’m only 39 and 2 days though so I’m trying to be patient because I know it could be a while or could end an induction. Praying for a natural labor over here but not opposed to an induction if my doctor thinks it’s a good idea. However, one of the reasons I’m feeling so impatient is because I have SO MUCH FOOD prepped in the freezer.
Between the freezer meals that I have prepped and my recent Butcher Box and Smoothie Box delivery, I’m STOCKED UP and nothing else can go in my freezer! And I’m so ready to eat all the yummy meals I’ve got going on in there!
Pork carnitas are one of the meals I have stashed away that I can not WAIT to dig into! The pork carnitas recipe makes almost 10 servings, so it’s enough to have for dinner and then to meal prep lunch for both Mr. Hungry and me for the whole week!
PS I’ve been sharing Mr. Hungry’s meal prep every week on IG stories (@hungryhobbyrd). It isn’t always pretty but it’s what he likes and a bunch of you said you wanted to keep seeing it, so I made it a highlight under my stories section. Let me know if you try this one, it’s a good one!
