Spending an hour or two on meal prep can save time and money all week. Start by choosing a protein, a grain, and a few vegetables you can mix and match.
Cook everything in batches, cool it quickly, and store meals in clear containers so you can see what you have. Most cooked meals keep well in the refrigerator for three to four days.
Pin Tip
Label containers with the date so you always know what to eat first.
Kitchen Tips for Success
Prep and measure your ingredients before you turn on the heat, taste as you go, and adjust seasoning at the end. A sharp knife and a clean workspace make every recipe faster and more enjoyable.
Make It Your Own
Swap in seasonal vegetables, your favorite proteins, or spices you love. Simple recipes are easy to adapt for picky eaters, special diets, and whatever is already in your refrigerator.
