Whether you’re a new cook wanting to learn more or someone who needs inspiration with meal planning, I’ve got something special for you. It’s Midweek Menu! Here, you’ll find making a home-cooked meal easy and enjoyable.
In This Post
This week, I’ve put together a menu that includes four of my easiest and most requested recipes. Each is made with simple ingredients that you can find in your local grocery store. I’m also staying true to one of my cooking mantras—”cook once, enjoy again,” because each of these dishes makes enough for leftovers.
Let’s Talk Strategy
Here are three tips for streamlining your meal prep and ensuring you’re not just eating well but also enjoying the process without the stress:
- Plan Ahead: Spend a few minutes during the weekend mapping out your weekly meals. The previous Midweek Menus can help. This simple step saves time and reduces the stress of deciding what to cook on the fly.
- Batch Prep: Preparing ingredients or parts of a meal in batches can be a lifesaver. Chop veggies, cook rice and pasta, or even prepare a whole dish in advance. These ready-to-go components make assembling meals much quicker.
- Keep It Simple: Select recipes with just a few ingredients and steps. Delicious meals don’t have to be complicated.
