    I have been most successful at meal prepping and using it to stay on-plan, by doing what Rachel Ray calls "Cook for a day, eat for a week". I have a recipe for a crockpot chili that I developed, that I think is pretty amazing. Add me if you like, and I'll send you the recipe...
    I've got many, many others, also...

    That's awesome, congrats on the weight loss! I made vegetable chili for the first time and it turned out great! Here's the recipe:

    Vegetable stock, 3-4 cups
    Tomato paste, 4-6 tbsp
    Canned tomatoes, 1 can
    Sweet potato, chopped
    Black beans (no salt added), 1 can
    Green bell pepper, chopped
    Onion, chopped
    Paprika, 1 tbsp
    Garlic powder, 3 tsp
    Cumin, 3 tsp
    Mrs. Dash Tomato Basil Garlic, 5 tsp
    Salt, 3 tsp (or to taste)

    1. Dump all the ingredients in a big ol' pot with 3 cups of stock. High heat for 30 mins.
    2. After 30 mins turn down heat to low-medium for 2.5 hours.
    3. Add stock if too thick, add tomato paste if too thin.

    This is about 10 servings-- dinner for days (or a few days if you have a family)
    Sorry if this is a lot I loooove cooking, especially when it doesn't burn!
