I've been exclusively making your meal preps for about 4 months now. Im a shift worker and these things have been saving my life. Your food has made me feel so much better as I used to be a takeout king before eating TMPM food.

Got inspired to just started hitting the gym 2 weeks ago 🤘 Thanks man.

This is what makes this channel so good. You encourage people to use the recipe as an inspiration and do what they want with what they have. Not to mention its real hearty food that is also healthy.

Been using your meal prep meals for a little over a year now, and this is one of my favorite by far

I cooked this for my son last week and this is the best baked pasta I have ever eaten. I followed the instructions and recipe just reduced the spinach and added carrots. One can diced tomatoes had Basilikum and the other oregano flavor. I'm not on a weight diet or muscle gain but this recipe will def. cooked once a month. It's really tasty. Thank you for the recipe

[frenchiezzthetics]

YESS. Thanks a lot Josh. Gotta bring us more of these they make my bulking experience very enjoyable.

[nicoletapalbrooks]

My son just asked me to make this for him. Holy smokes and as I'm taking it out of the oven I'm like Thank you for this!

[thecooldude]

JOSH 😩 this recipe is bomb !! made it for this week meal prep, you are the best fr fr

[Kebutor]

I made it again! This time I took half of a head of green cabbage and minced it into almost rice like quality, that way when I added the sauce it looked like it was cottage cheese, and then layered it with cottage cheese. I'm absolutely stoked for it when it comes out of the oven!
Thank you a thousand times over for the awesome meal prep ideas!

[MrFunnyDad]

No, its not just you. I often wonder about the food paradox: good stuff taste bad, bad stuff taste good...
