TIPS FOR USING RECIPES/
MEAL IDEAS
THESE RECIPES ARE DESIGNED TO YIELD ONE SERVING BUT CAN BE EASILY
DOUBLED FOR YOUR WEEKLY MEAL PREP. SAVE TIME BY PREPPING SEVERAL
SERVINGS OF A RECIPE.
Because meal prep can take a lot of time, we've designed these
recipes to minimize clean up wherever possible. Pack each part
of the meal as you go and reuse the same bowls, pots, pans and
skillets to save time and energy on clean up.
These are suggestions to help you get started. Feel free to
swap out the protein, grains, fruits or vegetables to suit your
personal taste or to match what's in season where you are.
Get creative.
If you're all out of oregano or just don't like
cilantro, sub your favorite fresh or dried herbs to pump up the
flavor. If you enjoy more or less garlic, let your taste buds rule.
• Cook grains in broth or add a splash of fruit juice to water
for extra flavor and pizzazz.
Take shortcuts:
• Pick up a rotisserie chicken for a quick protein that
doesn't require cooking.
• Rinse and drain canned beans if you don't have time to
make them from scratch.
• Buy frozen vegetables and pre-washed salad greens to
save time in the kitchen.
• Make your own sauce or buy a good quality one. These
days it's easy to find bottled sauces and dressings that
are free of preservatives and artificial ingredients.
• You'll notice that some of the recipes include sauces
made from scratch and others call for store-bought
dressing or marinara sauce. This reflects real life for
most people. Get the best ones you can to fit the time
you have available.
