• • Batch cooking or freezing: Make multiple meals, then portion and store them for the week. This method is useful for recipes you can easily cook in large batches, such as soup, quinoa, or mashed sweet potatoes.

• • Meals for one: Prepare food and portion it in single-serving containers. 

• • Ingredient prep: For people who like to cook and serve food all at once, just prep parts of your recipes. Chop veggies, mix spices, make sauces, or marinade meat in advance until you’re ready to cook.

Tips:

• • To save time, select recipes requiring different cooking methods. Having too many recipes requiring the same appliance—the oven, for instance—will limit the number of dishes you can prepare at once.

• • Limit your grocery runs.

• • Organize your meals based on your schedule. Knowing exactly when you’ll shop for groceries and when you’ll eat your meals will help you form a good routine.

• • Invest in quality storage containers of all shapes and sizes to stay organized and keep meals fresh.

• • Use an app on your phone or pick up a weekly meal prep planner to keep track of recipes and meals for the week.
