Meal Prep Tips

A few minutes of prep at the beginning of the week can make these 30-minute dinners even easier.

  • Prep a few basics ahead: Cook rice for Wednesday's stir-fry, wash and chop lettuce for Tuesday and Friday, and hard-boil eggs for the Cobb salad.
  • Use ingredients more than once: Lettuce, avocado, tomatoes, and herbs can work across the taco skillet toppings and the Cobb salad.
  • Keep quick sides simple: Steamed vegetables, bagged salad greens, rice, tortillas, and crusty bread are easy ways to round out 30-minute meals.
  • Make the strawberry bread early in the week: It keeps well and gives you an easy breakfast or snack option for several days.
  • Check your pantry before shopping: You may already have pasta, rice, taco seasoning, soy sauce, vinegar, olive oil, flour, and baking staples on hand.
