Hey everyone! I hope you had a great holiday weekend. My entire weekend was filled with family, friends, and fun! I did get a burst of energy to get my meal plan done yesterday but then I was persuaded otherwise when one of my friends call me up and invited me to a party. Don’t have to ask me twice. Anyway, that’s why my meal plan is a day late.
But…today I was a meal prepping machine. I feel like I haven’t gone grocery shopping in weeks so I started my day by planning out our meals then I headed to the grocery. After that I spent the rest of the day prepping food and taking videos. I made 5 recipe and “how to” videos today!! I spent about 8 hours cooking, video taping, and taking pictures. And I still have more to do tomorrow. Sometimes I feel like I could work 24/7 for a month straight and still have a million things left to do. But I can’t complain because it was quite relaxing. I had country music playing in the background and worked away on all my recipes.
Okay, let’s get right to my meal plan because it’s late, I’m exhausted, and I want to get this posted so I can move onto video editing.

Nina says
Do you find that you can get your smoothies that you make ahead back to normal once they’ve separated a bit waiting in the fridge?
Tammy Kresge says
I wouldn’t say they taste exactly like when I first blend them – the consistency is different. However, that doesn’t bother me so I drink them anyway. I know that might bother some. Give it a try and see what you think. I compare it to the thinner smoothies you purchase in the grocery store.
