I’ll be honest—last year threw me entirely off my meal prep game. Life got hectic, routines fell apart, and meal prepping happened only in scattered, last-minute bursts. The start of this year has been chiefly about playing catch-up, sorting through the leftovers (pun intended!) of the chaos. But finally—finally—I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel. My kitchen rhythm is coming back, and I’m ready to dive into regular meal prep again. Let’s just say… I’m back, baby!
