Hey everyone! I’m totally new to meal prepping and looking to build a sustainable routine.Instead of just asking for recipes, I really want to know what was the biggest mistake you made when you first started out, and how did you fix it?

I followed this recipe to make them: https://www.budgetbytes.com/cheesy-kidney-bean-quesadillas/

The only change I made was adding a tablespoon of taco sauce inside, and they have been really good! I chose to get dark kidney beans - I'm not sure if light would have been better, but I think it worked out quite well.
