A Week of Ingredient Prep - Part 1

Instead of meal prep, try prepping recipe ingredients to make your life easier.

Do you like to meal prep? I honestly can’t stick to it. I totally understand the convenience of it, but I need more variability. I am a person that does not like the same meal over and over and over again. I can stomach the first day of leftovers, but by day two I have lost interest and that container I stored in the fridge is likely going to become a science experiment.

So instead, I lean more into ingredient prep. You prep the ingredients you need in advance that way you can use them to build full balanced meals in much less time. No more repetitive meal prep, and it's easier to customize to meet your needs. If you're on board or want to give this style of prep a try, download the full guide that includes grocery list, ingredient substitutions, and what to prep in advance below.

Then when you are ready, start to cook with the corresponding recipes below in whatever order you’d like to make them.

• Chimichurri Meatball Grain Bowls

• Herby Nut Roasted Butter Bean Wraps

• Green Goddess Roasted Potato Bowls

• Lemon Dill Orzo Pasta Salad with Tofu Cutlets

• Chimichurri Marinated Chickpeas Over Toasted Garlic Quinoa

And that’s all I have for you today. If this is something you’d like to see more of, let me know in the comments and I’ll see what I can come up with.

Until then, wishing you some peaceful cooking.
