About Meal Prep

Meal prep recipes are made in bigger batches and divided into containers. Think grain bowls, chicken and rice, roasted vegetables, egg muffins and hearty soups. They hold up well in the fridge for a few days.

Make Ahead recipes are cooked in advance for one meal or event. Meal prep covers several meals for the week. Freezer Friendly dishes are made for longer storage.

Questions folks ask

  • Keep sauces separate so food stays fresh.
