Meal Prep Sunday Basics

Batch cook a week of simple meals

This guide covers selecting recipes, shopping with a list, batch cooking proteins and grains, storing safely, and rotating combinations through the week.

Plan 2-3 base dishes

Choose protein, grain, and veggie components that mix and match; write a concise shopping list.

Batch cook efficiently

Cook items in parallel (oven + stovetop); season lightly and add sauces later.

Portion and store

Use labeled containers, cool quickly, and refrigerate or freeze within two hours.

Reheat smartly

Reheat only what you need, add fresh greens or sauces, and track fridge durations (3-4 days).
