Hey everyone! Weeknight meal prep is a lifesaver for me. One thing I always do is plan my meals for the week ahead on Sunday – that way, I know exactly what ingredients I need and can do one big grocery shop. I also like to prep ingredients in advance, like chopping veggies or marinating meats, so they're ready to go when I need them. Investing in some good quality meal prep containers has been a game-changer too – I can easily portion out leftovers or prepare meals ahead of time and just grab and go during the week. And don't forget about the slow cooker or Instant Pot – tossing ingredients in there in the morning means dinner practically cooks itself by the time I get home. Happy cooking! 🥘👩🍳

Start by planning your meals for the week ahead. Choose recipes that are quick, easy, and suitable for batch cooking, such as casseroles, stir-fries, one-pot meals, and sheet pan dinners. Consider incorporating ingredients that can be used in multiple recipes to minimize waste and save time.
