Meal Prep Tips and Tricks

Meal prep looks different for everyone. I'm definitely not a person who preps entire meals for the whole week. Instead, I prefer to prep different ingredients that can be used throughout the week. For example, roast a whole chicken for dinner one night, then shred the remaining chicken to use in a different recipe. Or, make a large batch of rice, then freeze portions for an easy side for weeknight meals.

One of my favorite meal prep tips is roasting a large batch of garlic ahead of time and freezing it into small portions to use in different recipes. Check out How to Roast Garlic to see the steps.

Or cook up a big batch of soup or chili, and freeze it into individual portions for easy lunch or dinner options. Check out One Pot Chorizo Chili. It's easy, delicious, and freezes well.
