Disabled College Student's First and Second Meal Prep

About two, or maybe three, weeks ago I made two cottage pies, fried potatoes, refried beans, and rice. (Both not pictured.)

It went pretty well for the most part, except I forgot to actually look into my microwave / convection oven and ended up cooking one of those plastic things you put over food to keep the microwave clean while preheating the oven.

Other than that it was very good adult-ing and I'm so proud of myself! The cottage pie was incredibly good. And the whole bunch lasted a lot longer than I thought it would.

Today I did another meal prep. The last time I picked a Wednesday because I have no classes that day and so would have enough time to go to the store and make everything, and potentially have a couple panic attacks along the way. For the most part it went okay.

I meant to cook yesterday, but I didn't have any clean dishes and so I spent the evening doing that instead. So this evening!

I cooked my left over ground beef from the cottage pies (about one pound), a water bottle of spinach and bell peppers, and a dozen eggs.

It smells heavenly, though a little burnt. It made so much food! I'm so excited!

Much like the cottage pie, I forgot to let the ground beef thaw. With the pie I was cooking it straight after coming home from the store.

I worked hard to chop it into smaller and smaller pieces while it cooked and that's probablly what I burnt. But I didn't set off the fire alarm so I count that as a win!

For some reason I'm never hungry after cooking, even if I am when I start.

But I'm looking forward to a relaxing Wednesday, food for at least a week already done.

I over came my issues with executive functioning (for the most part), anxiety, and PTSD. I'm really proud and I just wanted to share.
