Prepped Ish Week 18

Menu: Ground Beef & Black Bean Quesadilla, Mexican Caesar with Blackened Chicken, Loaded Mexican Spiced Potato Bowl

First of all — thank you, as always, for being here. Whether you’ve been following along from the start or you’re jumping in this week, I appreciate you more than cheese appreciates being melted.

How are we doing? Did last week’s menu treat you well? Did you try something new? Did you, perhaps, not cook at all and just vibe with the grocery list energy? (No judgment — I love that for you.)

This week we’re heading south of the border — kinda. We’re doing Mexican-inspired comfort food that hits that sweet spot between cozy, customizable, and very “what’s already in my fridge.”

Here’s what we’ve got on the menu:

🌮 Dinner 1: Gringa Ground Beef & Bean Quesadilla with Caesar Crema
🥗 Dinner 2: Mexican Caesar Salad with Seared Chicken & Crispy Tortilla Strips
🥔 Dinner 3: Loaded Spiced Potato Bowl with Leftover Beef & All the Fixings

Each dish shares ingredients, cuts down on waste, and lets you remix leftovers like a pro. Because we're not just cooking — we're strategizing.

Oh, and one last thing:
The Celtics being down 2–0 was not on my bingo card. At all. I am genuinely considering fleeing NYC until this series is over. LOL but also maybe not lol.

Let’s get into it. 💚
