Best Dinners Meal Plan Week 1

🥦 Meal Prep

Choose one (or more) of these steps to make cooking on the day of go faster and smoother. I included checkboxes for those of you who want to print the list out and check it off as you go.

I actually prefer to only mix dry ingredients and make sauces ahead of time because I like to keep the nutrients of the veggies (and my schedule allows me to cook when I want). But I include all the meal prep steps to give you options.

• ▢ When you get home from grocery shopping or on the weekend, wash all the vegetables, lay them out on a clean kitchen towel, and thoroughly dry them. This alone will save a lot of time when you're ready to cook. Store the veggies separately in airtight containers.
• ▢ Chop the veggies 1-3 days in advance, depending on the water content. Veggies like cucumbers should be chopped 1-2 days in advance.
• ▢ Measure out and add all the dry ingredients for the vegetable fritters to a mixing bowl. Whisk and set it aside in an airtight container on the counter. Add a note to the top of the container so you remember which recipe it's for.
• ▢ Measure out and add all the dry ingredients for the mac and cheese to a mixing bowl. Whisk and set it aside in an airtight container on the counter. Add a note to the top of the container so you remember which recipe it's for.
