Let’s face it – every day we are routinely bombarded with questions. When you’re an emerging media company in Nashville, people just want to know what your opinions are on everything. It’s only natural. And, since our duty is to serve the people, well, we have no choice but to be present. That’s the SoBro Way. Also, aren’t mailbags just a barrel of laughs anyway? Welcome to the newest weekly recurring feature up in this bitch: The SoBros Mailbag. As always, hit us with those mailbag questions @SoBrosNetwork on Twitter, email ’em to me anonymously at thesobrosnetwork@gmail.com. And, holy shit, I need to update this terrible intro paragraph that I’ve been using literally ever since I started writing this column…
Question, from Dom via text message:
#sobrosballbag
Top 5 meal prep freezer meals
Top 5 garbage freezer foods
Answer:
Light week here on the SoBros Mailbag this week, but honestly, if you’ve been paying attention to the blog this week, it’s been a light week for SoBros Network in general. We’re all still kind of getting back to the routine and adjusting to everyday life once again after the holidays, and honestly, the day job and my personal life have been kicking my shit in this week. That happens from time to time, it is what it is, and we move forward as best as we can. So, I’m hopeful that as we get back to it, the SoBros Mailbag will get back to all its glorious frivolity. At the same time, I’m thankful for Dom for single-handedly saving this week’s column. Without him, there would be no SoBros Mailbag.
And, as longtime readers know, I relish the opportunity to get a light mailbag every once in awhile so that I can really dive into an answer. LFG.
I can’t claim to be an adequate meal prepper. Aura can do it, but I just suck at it, and even when I do, I never stick to the meal planning. Stuff ends up sitting in the fridge and going bad because I’ve abandoned the plan. I can’t put it any plainer – I am an abject failure at meal prep. But, I will say that freezing soup/chili after making a big pot remains undefeated. Nothing hits in the winter time, and there’s no greater feeling than craving a bowl and then remembering you left a tub of it in the freezer the last time you made it.
As for garbage freezer foods – I’m not sure if you mean the good kind of garbage, or if you’re asking for literally the worst freezer foods out there. But, since I love freezer garbage, I’m going to answer with the good kind.
At all times, I HAVE to have a bag of Tyson’s honey chicken tenders in the freezer. It’s a problem – I legit have to stop myself from eating them every day and remind myself of how terrible freezer junk is in general. I’m also a sucker for egg rolls and burritos. Just toss ’em in the air fryer for a few minutes and it’s like you’ve just gotten a fresh batch of junk food from the gas station. At #4, I’m going with the Tennessee Pride sausage balls. I know it’s a staple around the holidays, but I can’t get enough of them. I will gladly push my heart to the limits of its functionality during December. Finally, I’m going with frozen meatballs. Love ’em – just pour a few in the crockpot with some grape jelly and barbecue sauce and you have an A++ snack.
And now you all know why I’m 280 pounds.
Keep the questions coming – catch y’all next week!
