Transcript excerpt

Save money and time by doing this once a week. Welcome to another episode of Don't Call It Meal Prep, because meal prep's a cult and I don't associate with those freaks. Today, we're making bacon, sausage, and egg wraps from a place that rhymes with shmarshmucks. I'd say the full name, but I'm not trying to get sued for worse blowing how much money you're wasting. Now where I live, these worst $7.31 a piece. And if for some reason you needed 16 of them, that's a 120 bones. But I was able to pick up all the ingredients I need for $30 at my grocery store. And I hate to break it to you, but when you order this from Shmarshmux, they're not cooking it back tier. They're just reheating it. Now tier reason I made 16 of these is because I'm a lazy parent. My daughters can reheat these in a minute before school, and I don't have to do a thing. I like to put a few of these in the fridge and the rest in the freezer. My family will eat them for up to a year in tier, but I think rules are made up. And I would eat a 400 year old frozen burrito. Reheat these in the parchment paper no it steams them. If you're concerned about the texture, just throw them in a hot pan. They'll crisp right up. Go ah
