Can I tell you a secret? I’m not an organized person.
I know you see all these meal prep breakfasts and make ahead lunch bowls and maybe some neatly stacked containers of chicken fajita lunch bowls and you think ‘wow, that Denise? She’s organized!’.
The truth? I’m so not organized. I mean, my bag is still not unpacked from travelling last week!
The recipes that you see on the blog are a product of my disorganization. This is me, trying to overcome my disorganization. And I hope you don’t mind: I’m bringing you along for the ride!
