Three Tips That Make Meal Planning Stick
Cook once, eat twice
Monday's chicken becomes Wednesday's creamy pasta, and Sunday's big batch of rice covers lunches. Planned leftovers save the most time.
Prep for 20 minutes on Sunday
Chop onions and peppers, wash greens and make one dressing. Twenty minutes now takes ten minutes off every dinner this week.
