🧊 Weekend Meal Prep Sheet — Week of Sep 26

Optional prep session — the same prep from the podcast. Check off each task as you finish it. Prep is never required; it just makes the week easier.

Cook once, eat twice

Double the Sheet-Pan Breakfast Bake and the Banana Cottage Cheese Muffins — they cover breakfasts for 4–5 days.

Rice & grains

Cook a big batch of rice on Sunday for the firecracker meatballs, Korean BBQ bowls, and stuffed peppers. Cool it quickly and refrigerate; use within 4 days.

Sauces ahead

The firecracker sauce and the Korean BBQ sauce keep 5 days in the fridge — whisk them Sunday and weeknights are 15-minute meals.

Chili & bolognese

Both taste better the next day. Make a full pot Sunday; portion into containers for easy lunches too.

Storage

Meatballs, chili, bolognese, and bowls keep 4 days refrigerated in airtight containers. Freeze anything beyond that for up to 2 months.

Reheating

Salmon reheats best gently — 275°F for 10 min or in a covered skillet with a splash of water. Everything else is microwave-friendly; sprinkle water over rice before reheating to keep it fluffy.

Overnight oats

Assemble Monday's oats Sunday night in a jar — zero-morning-effort breakfast.
