Real talk: have you ever resolved to start meal prepping and then you found yourself dreading every Sunday?

You spend the whole day in the kitchen, which is a bummer when weekends are so fleeting to begin with. And then there’s that stack of pots and pans overflowing from the sink onto the countertop…

I’ve realized that meal prep only works for me when it’s easy, and that’s what you’ll get with these recipes. They’re all simple to make, with short shopping lists, and minimal effort. (And that includes the dishes you have to wash afterwards!)
