This week I put together a list of recipes that will help prepare for the week. Some are perfect for meal prepping and others require minimal prep time.
Tips For Meal Prepping and Using Leftovers
- Cut up the vegetables to use in multiple recipes early in the week. Store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to four days.
- Chopped salad is a meal all by itself, and it also tastes great with a charcuterie board and will help you to eat less of the meat on the board. Make extra salad and eat if for lunch the next day.
- Cilantro lime shrimp can be prepared a day ahead of time and serve it with an arugula salad and cooked rice, pasta , whole grain or stuff it in a wrap.
- Chicken piccata meatballs and chili freeze well. Make extra of these and freeze them for busy nights.
Tip - Plan Out The Whole Meal!
If you are making more than one dish for dinner, take a few minutes before you begin cooking and write out a meal prep list. Check the cooking times, and organize your time accordingly for each recipe. Instead of making one recipe at a time, think about consolidating any overlapping ingredients.
