I first made these, when I was preparing some weekly meals when I was pregnant with Wendy. I knew that she would make an appearance within a week and wanted to make sure I had some premade food in the fridge to make the transition from pregnant to mommy easier.

The last two weeks have felt like we’ve lived a year. I honestly can’t tell you what I did last week because my focus has been on trying to understand and protect my family, friends, and myself from coronavirus or covid-19.
