What are /r/MealPrepSunday's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Here's my method:

English muffins (lightly pre-toasted)

Egg beaters baked (325F for 15m) in silicone molds with a little salt & pepper (note: works just as well with whole eggs or scrambled eggs, I'm just trying to minimize calories. This whole sandwich is 257 calories, 227 for the bacon ones).

Cheddar cheese

Jalapeno slices

Bacon or Morningstar Farms maple breakfast sausage (vegetarian)

Assemble sandwiches when everything is cooled to room temp (this is crucial or you will get crystallization and sogginess), wrap in paper towel, then foil. Freeze. The night before eating, move to the fridge. When ready to eat, remove foil (save for next batch if desired) and heat in paper towel in microwave ~90 seconds. Enjoy!

Chicken (2 breasts, butterflied) - $4.55

• Beat meat to flatten. Season (I used this smokey turmeric stuff that someone recommended in this sub a while ago). Pop into cast iron skillet over medium high heat.

Russet Potato - $0.63

1 tbsp olive oil - $0.09

• Dice, toss with oil and spices. I used s&p, garlic powder, and a bit of paprika. Roast at 450 for 25 or so minutes.

Broccoli - $1.41

1 tbsp olive oil - $0.09

• Toss with oil and spices. I only added s&p this time 'round. Roast at 425 for 15-20 minutes.

About $1.69 per meal

Edit: I ain't spell good

If this is something you enjoy packing for lunch often (and who wouldn't, it looks delicious), I would recommend investing in some more small reusable containers/baggies to reduce your paper and plastic waste! I have some Sistema tiny containers, as well as some baggies like these ones- it also allows you to buy things in bulk rather than individual serves (like your carrots and yogurts, for example), which is usually cheaper.

During the baby food making part of my life, I bought silicone ice cube molds on amazon. Each cube is one ounce. Once frozen, all the little cubes stacked super neatly in a freezer bag. It made it so easy to add a one fruit cube to oatmeal, or to mix together different veggie blends. You always know exactly how many ounces you are heating up and waste very little.

Edit: like these- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0139S3L3C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_UGpcEbQDQP84S

it looks like the answer is in the upper left corner of the picture - Souper Cubes Extra-Large Silicone Freezing Tray - makes 4 perfect 1cup portions - freeze soup broth or sauce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0789BHWWY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_aiPNBbK3R804V

Rice: Make brown rice per recipe instructions. In a wok, add your favorite vegi mix (frozen) to the pan with canola oil until soft. Add cooked rice to pan and cook and incorporate the rice. Create a ring in the pan, like a donut and crack a couple of eggs in there and scramble them up. Mix it up and add some tamari in there with some garlic poweder, salt and pepper. Fried rice is pretty easy to make and you can dress it up however you like it.

Beijing Beef: I used this recipe because I wanted to get it pretty close to the original. Only changes are that I used red and yellow peppers, and tamari instead of soy sauce. This turned out REAL tasty.

Mushroom Chicken: Cut 2 chicken breast into small pieces and coat with corn starch. Cook in oil until browned and remove. Add mushrooms and zucchini (I didn't measure, sorry), add garlic and cook until fragrant. When veggies are soft, add chicken back in and add tamari, rice wine vinegar, and some hoisin sauce. I used more tamari to vinegar in a maybe 4/1 ratio? Hoisin sauce was added after I was done cooking, the tamari was a little too powerful but it tasted about right after maybe 2 tablespoons of hoisin.

Sorry again about the instructions, i don't do a lot of measuring.

EDIT: A lot of people are commenting about the plastic trays so I thought I would just post that they ARE reusable and recyclable. Here is a similar product for those interested.

Second: Soy sauce has gluten in it as it is fermented in grains. Tamari is a very similar product that IS gluten free, however, Panda Express does not use this product. There are also other products out there like "Liquid Amino" which is also gluten free.

nice macros man! a few pointers to help out

1. i've found, if you mix protein powders from different brands or types of protein, you get way better flavor. chocolate whey + chocolate casein from opimum nutrition is better chocolate than either separate. pure protein vanilla + ON chocolate whey, tastes like melted chocolate ice cream
2. you're pretty close to a "homemade quest bar", which is protein powder, oligasacharide syrup, and "flavor chunks". the flavor chunks are things like 1 crushed up oreo per bar, maybe 50g of captin crunch cereal. it's meant to be a protein bar, but you could still use it as a base for your meal bars

https://smile.amazon.com/VitaFiber-Sugar-Free-Syrup-28-4/dp/B00TIX50OQ?sa-no-redirect=1

it's a very low calorie, low glycemic sryup that's used in the quest bars to make it bind together. i bought some and it does not have a funny fake sugar taste at all. worth trying if you want to make more "meal replacement bars".

also, cocoa is a natural vasodialator and could help boost the chocolate flavor in the bars.

Supplements. My pups are older girls. The powdery stuff is Nupro and the tablets are Cosequin. We just add a little warm water to make it into "doggie stew."

Yes, they are! I got them off Amazon, and the brand is called Squooshi

https://www.amazon.com/Squooshi-Filling-Station-Large-Pack/dp/B01AMUDANG/ref=sr_1_5?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1491345060&sr=1-5&keywords=squooshi%2Breusable%2Bfood%2Bpouch&th=1

I kind of cheated with this chicken by using an out of the box mix (this one specifically).

But it turned out delicious.

http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Sizzlin_-Sriracha-Meatballs-1428859

I used mushroom stems to help add to the meatballs. Had them left over from making stuffed mushrooms and it worked out better then expected

yess! this is the one i have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZIMZ1C?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

i got the cheapest one i could find. ive only had an issue with the locking mechanism - i have to really force it. but once i get it to click its all good

I got the same ones on Amazon. Lemme see if I can find the link.

That didn't take as long as I thought it would.

There are even wide mouth models specifically made for more solid foods instead of the traditional coffee.

Also, to increase hold time, pour boiling water in first and keep it for a minute or two. Drain, then add your boiling hot stew, etc. The hot water is like a preheat cycle, cools the food less. Reverse it with ice water for cold stuff.

https://www.amazon.com/Winco-0014-05-12-Piece-Dominion-Stainless/dp/B004UND74O/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1538713811&sr=8-11&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=forks&dpPl=1&dpID=31WF9Sb%2BhRL&ref=plSrch

For just $7 you could have too many forks!

On Amazon! here! They're super great. Have used them pretty much every week for a year - dishwasher safe, microwave safe, and they don't leak.

I have what would appear to be the same containers. I guy them on Amazon. They work well but you should use plastic cutlery with them because metal knives will score them.

They are microwave and dishwasher safe.

Enther Meal Prep Containers [20 Pack] 3 Compartment with Lids, Food Storage Bento Box | BPA Free | Stackable | Reusable Lunch Boxes, Microwave/Dishwasher/Freezer Safe,Portion Control (36 oz) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072B9F7W4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_oqSXAbGC479N4

I have 3 rules in my kitchen:

1. Clean up as you go
2. Clean up after yourself
3. If you see a mess, clean it up (even if it's not yours)

When meal-prepping, at minimum, I hose off all of the equipment with hot water using the sprayer immediately after using it. Sometimes soaping stuff off with a dobie or loading the dishwasher interrupts my workflow too much, but at minimum, I can walk my bowls, pans, and utensils over to the sink & give them a quick rinse off so they don't get food glued onto them by the time I'm done.

What made it really convenient was getting a kitchen faucet with a built-in sprayer in the head. This isn't the exact model I have, but the idea is the same:

https://www.amazon.com/Ufaucet-Commercial-Stainless-Sprayer-Finished/dp/B016I75C2Y/

There's a push-button that cycles between regular faucet & shower-spray output, and you can pull the head off to angle around whatever item you're rinsing off. So if I just finished up with my Instant Pot but I'm still cooking other stuff, I can bring the pot to the sink, give it a quick rinse with hot water from the sprayer, and then it's easy to clean by hand or throw in the dishwasher when I'm all wrapped up for my meal-prep session. This setup creates a fairly low-friction environment mentally, which makes it easy to use.

These look great! Get yourself a pack of silicone cupcake liners!... those are great, reusable and also work well for wet stuff like hummus that would get gross in the paper liners.

This is my first time using them, but they were advertised as dishwasher, microwave, freezer safe so I’m going to try and get a few uses out of them. They do feel pretty flimsy though.

I just bought those same containers the other day!

$10 for 20 of them on Amazon right now!

EDIT: OP commin in clutch with the link while I was distracted by the NFL Draft. Good lookin out /u/Ikantra

This awesome tool.

Finely chopping the beef is actually a very important step. Allows more surface area for seasoning per bite.

Edit: like the other comment or said, start with ground beef.

Maybe overkill but I have this by the sink so I can do just that.

Actually someone recommended it to me on this subreddit months ago (can't find the comment). I got it off amazon

I'm a huge fan.

Hey everyone, since OP isn't being helpful, I'm you're hero today. * Here's the keyboard

• And here's the crab pen holder available in 4 colors. You're welcome.

Also, when you buy through Amazon please consider using Amazon Smile! You can get to it at [www.smile.amazon.com](www.smile.amazon.com) . Amazon will donate 0.5% of your purchase to a charity of your choice and it's at no extra cost to you!

I'm partial to Pyrex. It is a durable glass which doesn't stain, holds up to multiple washes and they offer containers that are perfect single portion size. You can find it fairly cheap around this time of year on amazon or from local stores that are offering deals. Its worth the extra cash since it lasts foooorevvvver.

edit: in case you didn't know what it was Amazon

Got these on sale from Costco a few months back. Been doing great. Can't go wrong with Pyrex, but it's nice to have the flexibility in sizing, and Made in the USA.

Folks all prices are regional.

/u/sapphiresky If you live in the US google the name of your state and "produce calendar". You might find apples are thirty cents a pound at certain times a year for example.

I also want to point out here that peanut butter and beans are much cheaper protein than any meat you come across(at least in my experience in North America).

Produce in most places is cheaper than meat.

If you live in North America you will not beat potatoes for dollar per calorie density. Look for dishes that use lots of potatoes.

Carrots are also very inexpensive year around because they keep so long.

Consider a chili because most recipes are a attempt to extend the taste of tiny bit of meat by adding bean proteins and spices.

Also freecycle (https://www.freecycle.org/) a request for a rice cooker or a electric cooking element pots/pans whatever you need. If you are not in a low density population region you can pick these things up with patience and timing.

These are knockoff Pyrex. I don’t expect them to last forever, but they def got the job done! Found them on Amazon.

Looks like he got the 3 compartment meal trays you can get from amazon. If I were to get these I would reuse them every week. He probably changes up the meal prep every week so sometimes he may or may not have 1-3 items to put in there.

And its pretty cheap for a 20 pack!

How are these op?

>But for real, you need a knife with a nice depth to it, so you can get a good chop on. Even a cheap one treated well would be better than chopping with the one you have.

https://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Fibrox-Chefs-Knife-8-Inch/dp/B008M5U1C2

A decent knife is a must. That's the classic "low cost, but decent" choice (there are others, but this is the most commonly available choice). It will make a big difference. Makes a good present if you can't afford it outright.

https://www.amazon.com/Breville-BOV900BSS-Smart-Oven-Silver/dp/B01N5UPTZS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1548051755&sr=8-2&keywords=breville+oven

not sure how different it is from https://www.amazon.com/Breville-BOV845BSS-Convection-Toaster-Stainless/dp/B00XBOXVIA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1548051755&sr=8-1&keywords=breville+oven

Not OP but I recently transitioned my dog to homemade food from kibble. During the transition I slowly phased kibble out and the new food in.

My dog is a St Bernard/Shepherd mix but ate about 2 cups of kibble per day plus chews/treats. Currently I use the same base for the food and vary the grains/veggies.

In the crockpot on high for 4-4.5 hours or low for 8 put in the crockpot in the following order: 1.5-2 cups water 1 cup brown rice (or quinoa mix) 1-2 cubed sweet potatoes 3 chicken breasts 1 (16oz) bag frozen peas/carrots 1/2 bag frozen broccoli florets* 1 (16oz) bag frozen green beans* 1 multi-vitamin tablet in each serving (he eats twice a day)

My pup reeeeeally likes frozen broccoli florets in any form (cooked, frozen, thawed but cold) so sometimes I just throw in a couple florets in his bowl when I feed him instead of cooking them in the food.

Yields about 10-14 days of food depending on if he gets peanut butter-filled Kongs that week, etc.

Vitamin: ProSense Multivitamin For All Life Stages, 90-Count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MV4N0DD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_R3p3AbMEAXH23

Amazon. These are my preferred choice

I was just about to say this. I use these Pyrex bowls and I'm not sure if you use the same ones, but they are awesome! Super easy to clean and I often find them on sale at Target. I have about 10 of them. Way easier to eat a salad out of!

There are similar ones here, but reusable! https://www.amazon.com/Komax-Biokips-Storage-Lunch-Container/dp/B06VWGX1JS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1547147243&sr=8-3&keywords=Reusable+food+4+compartment+square. More expensive, for sure, in the short term but depending on how much you use they could end up saving you money. And it’s so much less wasteful. There are also glass ones, and if you want something that will outlive you, steel.

I got them off of amazon. The total came to $50 for both.

Yum - These look lovely and colourful!

I make salad jars for my husband to take to work occasionally , but have just discovered a new lunchbox which is the Systema Salad Max.

That way the salad leaves keep even fresher underneath and if he isn't in the mood for certain toppings/tomatoes etc, he can just not put them in the salad. The bowl underneath is large enough that he can just throw the toppings in and the dressing and voila! I also like the dressing tub, though I worry it may be too small. Time shall tell.

If you do get a vacuum sealer, don't buy the name brand sealer bags. I buy mine from amazon. These work just fine and they're half the price basically.

Amazon.

I hope that link works sorry if it doesn't

"can and freeze jars" look like this.

I've done endless batches of chili in them, but don't think it's tempered glass or anything. They do not go from freezer to microwave. It's best to let them thaw out in the fridge the night or two before and move to a lunch container to reheat later that day. I like borosilicate glass food storage containers with the plastic snap lid

Also, because you're not pressure canning, I would buy these plastic lids and reuse them over and over.

(non-payola amazon link because of photo and server uptime, buy them where you want.)

It's a chocolate/biscuit snack called Alfort ! Think cookies/biscuits with dark or milk chocolate on top.

Recipe:

I work as an RN and have started meal planning the evening before my shift, I love it! The containers I bought on Amazon, they have pretty colored lids and are super sturdy:

Might I suggest an anti-fatigue mat? I used to absolutely hate cooking dinner after I got home from work because my feet would be so tired that standing for another 30 minutes was excruciating. I got an anti-fatigue mat for Christmas (the exact one in the link) and it’s been magical. I can stand and cook for much longer without pain. I could never go back to life without one.

Not OP, but we get a packet of butter chicken flavor paste (it's like $2). Follow its directions and throw in whatever protein you like: chicken, pork, chick peas, etc. it's a very easy meal!

Edit: I think we use this brand - Amazon sells a 6 pack

Butter Chicken curry paste

A lot of Japanese bento dishes are meant to be eaten at room temperature rather than microwaved. I've gotten a lot of recipes from Effortless Bento which have been very tasty. You could also check out Just One Cookbook, which has some bento recipes too.

It usually comes in a box like this and is probably labeled "sauce mix". I really like Vermont Curry but Golden Curry is usually more common in US grocery stores and it's good too.

The back of the box walks you through the steps and suggests ingredients, but specifically what I did here:

2 potatoes, 1 onion, 1 head of cauliflower, 'bout a cup of carrots and a cup green bean, and half the curry mix.

This guy right here

Hunted high and low for days searching for a lunchbox that met my measurement needs. Basically this does two things exceptionally well:

1.) Fits two medium sized glass containers side by side without straining the zipper on this lunchbox.

2.) Fits the popular Amazon reusable Bentobox/tv dinner style thing you see a lot on this subreddit.

In both cases there's enough room for an ice pack or two plus other snacks if I need them. It goes without saying that it's big enough for a normal sandwich. Works great, I'm going to use it until I run it into the ground and then probably buy another one just like it!

You can use mason jars that are freezer safe and use the FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer Wide-Mouth Jar Kit found on Amazon do that you minimize plastic and also for certain foods you don’t crush it.

There’s always something! I’m really sorry you live far away, even as a partner it can be hard to see your SO struggle with that burden. Sending care packages is also a great idea! Things for the caregiver as well as things for the person whose sick. There’s a really good clock you could send to help the dad as well as treats for the mom, audio books and other things. If it’s within your means offering to fly down for a weekend to help every so often may be good but isn’t always possible. :) Or calling snd setting up meal delivery or adult-sitting services.

> freeze dried skittles

https://www.amazon.com/Rocky-Mountain-Freeze-Dry-Skittles/dp/B0836PVGB2

What Are Freeze Dried Skittles? Well, for starters, they are absolutely AMAZING!!! Freeze Dried Skittles are the result of Skittles Candy after they make it through the lengthy process of sublimation and lyophilization! What's that you ask? The Freeze Drying Process uses sublimation and lyophilization to create a perfectly preserved product. The products that undergo this process have an amazingly long shelf life when stored properly of up to 25 years.

Sublimation is the process of a substance changing directly from the solid to the gas phase. During this process, the Skittles are frozen to a chilly -40 degrees.

Lyophilization is the process in which water is removed from the Skittles after they are frozen and placed under a vacuum, allowing the ice to change directly from solid to vapor. During this process, the Freeze Dryers slowly heat the trays of frozen Skittles creating Skittles Vapor which is sucked out of the Skittles with a high powered vacuum pump. While the vacuum pump is sucking the vapor from the frozen Skittles, they explode into amazing crunchy Skittles balls, bursting with more flavor than ever before!!

At Rocky Mountain Freeze Dry, our snacks are freeze dried over a mile high! This distinct lack of oxygen in the Denver Metropolitan area creates the perfect environment for freeze drying and creating the best and crunchiest Freeze Dried Skittles in the world!

I use three different brands, but the one I like best is this one: ME.FAN It is large and stable. I haven’t tried soups in it before but they should be ok if you don’t fill it too high and make sure it’s sealed well.

So, I didn't even like salmon until I learned how to make it this way: and now I can't stop eating it!

I cut up the filets pretty small, rub on a bit of olive oil, season w/ salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika. I feel what makes it taste incredible is adding some dried dill, along with a nice drizzle of honey. Repeat this on both sides; however, I wouldn't add honey to the bottom side of the filet as it may burn while baking. Bake for ~40 mins at 375F. Maybe hit it with a broil for a minute or two at the end.

For the taters, I buy a big bag of bulk yellow/red mini potatoes from Costco and cut them up into quarters. Season with some green thai curry (linked below) and paprika. Bake ~45 mins at 375. The key is to broil them for about 3-4 minutes at the end to get a nice crispy exterior.

I use this one which has a lid: OXO No-Spill Ice Cube Tray

I don't have access to an actual grill, so I've been using a cast iron grill pan over pretty high heat (pounding out the meat makes this much easier). Not easy to clean, but worth it to me!

We just got this book called “Ruffage” which has soooo many good ways to prepare almost any vegetable you can get at the store. It discusses different methods of cooking and is super informative!

https://www.amazon.com/Ruffage-Practical-Vegetables-Abra-Berens-ebook/dp/B07L6SJS6M

Itshelped us buy more veggies at the store and explore new flavors.

If you ever have problems with sticking (even the non-stick tins give out fairly quick, in my experience) I've had very good results using something like this silicone muffin pan.

Also a pilot. This changed my travel food game in a big way. Bring two sizes of Pyrex that stack in themselves and you’re golden.

We’ve gotten way off the topic of meal prep, but this interests me; I’m a linguist.

I tried two different brands from Amazon, these and these - they seem to be the exact same thing except for the printed logo but I like them so far.

I mean it’s in no way gourmet, but it does get the job done. There’s products like this to help make the egg patty for fast breakfast sandwiches

Paper towels are this kind of product. You can see the ones I used in the lower half of the photo. Yes, just wrap it, I place the assembled sandwich in the center of the towel, fold 2opposite sides over the sandwich, then fold the other 2 sides, then wrap in foil.

I don't understand the last question you asked but in general, water is wet ;)

I've bought mine from amazon though I've found them in asian markets for half the price

Sorry for your bad luck? IDK what to say.

When I was running 90 miles per week (sub 2:40 marathon goal), I had 0 problems with it because I basically only ate rice.

In 2012 I hiked the 220 mile long JMT. My first ever backpacking trip. I knew very little.

I learned very quickly that I had to cut my lantus from 25 units a day to 11units, as I was going through all of my food just to keep my sugar up.

By the end of that trip, I learned that I didn't need to take fast acting Humalog and could rely on just my 11 units of Lantus, just by taking out half of my carbs (probably still consuming around 100g a day).

What I didn't realize was that my blood acid levels were on the rise and I was in great danger, later confirmed by my endo.

> Without enough insulin, your body begins to break down fat as fuel. This process produces a buildup of acids in the bloodstream called ketones, eventually leading to diabetic ketoacidosis if untreated. source, from first link on google

So if I am not eating a ton of carbs, I don't take insulin. No insulin = fat break down, which leads to ketoacidosis.

Many T1 backpackers bring ketone strips for this exact problem. Why non diabetics don't have the same problem? I am not sure.

I recently bought something similar that you may like. They look to be a bit bigger, but you might be able to find something of similar size to the pick you linked on Amazon. The product I linked was at a pretty substantial discount, I think I paid ~$15 for a 10 pack.

These seem to be the same. Though I got them from I different seller for like 25 for all 6. I’ll find the link

I’m not sure if you’re being facetious or not (based on the winking smiley face) but on the off-chance you’re not:

You can use compartment containers like these to reduce plastic waste as well as keep your food separated.

I use Isobag's reusable containers and I've had them for over 2 years. It looks like that people are using reusable to me.Amazon containers

Here are some on Amazon I like I suggest hand washing but haven’t run into issues microwaving them. And they actually keep the foods divided. I don’t like my foods mixing so that’s a big plus for me

It's a joint support supplement since they're older pups. Luckily, it's flavored and chewable so they gobble it right up.

The recommended set is $24 at Costco right now.

It's Pyrex glass, freezer/oven/microwave/dishwasher safe, and supposedly 100% leakproof

This is based on components of this recipe. It has changed a bit over time. We have this semi-regularly for dinner, and it always makes the best lunches! So I decided to do a batch just for lunches this week.

There is no one meal that provides all of your nutritional needs, as the body requires quite a variety of vitamins and minerals. However, you can get a good portion of your necessary nutrients by eating something like chicken/rice/broccoli or spinach and drinking milk.

Assuming you eat 3 oz chicken breast, 1 c brown rice, 1 c broccoli, and drink 1 glass of whole milk 3 times a day, that puts you at about 1800 kcals, where you've met or exceeded all macro/micronutrient goals except:

• Fat (omega 6 variety)
• Vitamin D and E
• Iron
• Potassium
• Sodium

If you cook your food in a bit of oil and season it, you should be able to hit the fat and sodium requirements. Otherwise, you could look into condiments or maybe avocado. Then, all you have to do is find a way to get in more vitamins D and E, potassium, and iron.

I used Cronometer to determine the caloric and nutritional values of the food listed.

Here ya go.

I will say these are a little smaller than the plastic containers I'm used to (22 oz. compared to at least 30 oz.) and I was a little worried about that but it wasn't an issue at all. If one was bulking or intermittent fasting and needed large portions the same brand also offers a bigger size.

Trays I bought from amazon and so far so good for how cheap they are!

Spinach salads with bell pepper, cucumber, craisins, walnuts, and blue cheese crumble. Raspberry walnut vinaigrette dressing is my preference.

Quinoa salad with chickpeas, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, chopped parsley. Dressing is basically just fresh squeezed lemon juice and garlic.

Mandarin chicken pasta salad = farfalle, chicken, spinach, mandarin oranges, red bell pepper, sun dried tomatoes, shaved carrots, and chopped green beans. I use ken’s sesame ginger dressing for this one.

We got these. They’re fantastic, reusable, lightweight, durable, lidded, and microwave safe. Probably not oven safe though, since they’re plastic.

They are little biscuits cookies called Alfort ! It's from Japan, and it's a cookies/biscuits with thin slice of chocolate on top. Darker blue is dark chocolate, and lighter blue is milk chocolate. I crave them from time to time and end up eating the whole bag in a few hours :/

Dude. I use a set that meets all the criteria BUT microwave safe lids. Might I suggest you get a microwave protector dome that could go over your Tupperware as you heat it up? You can get one real cheap on Amazon and it saves a lot of headache.

Yup! On amazon there’s a ton

Here’s one kind but you’ll find more from there.

You can get them in both red and blue and they have a lot more components than what is pictured!! Super cute and great for portions!

I developed an app which helps to keep organized meals and am I am looking for feedback. I don't know if that may help you or if you need any special feature, I would be glad to add it.

Yeah just make sure you buy your vacuum sealer bags on amazon. They're like half the price of name brand and work very well.

If you want these containers, I get them from amazon here and here's a coupon code for 10% off (I don't make anything from it, don't worry): 2YUJKO5E

From the top, its pot roast with carrots, celery, and potatoes, chicken salad with cucumber salad and grapes, and turkey meatballs over oven baked zucchini. :)

Those baggies will get expensive! If you want to do this for the long run, invest in some glass tupperware from Amazon. I've been really happy with these, but they also make one with more compartments. Mine don't collect smells and they've carried some pretty stinky stuff.

Also might want to pack the tzatziki separately. Not sure if it will make your salad soggy. Great start though! Hope it works out for you.
