I've been talking about make-ahead meals with a couple different girlfriends this week. Making a week's worth of breakfasts, lunches and dinners on Sunday can be a huge timesaver on busy weekdays. All you have to do is grab and go or reheat and eat! I like to grocery shop early Sunday morning, come home and turn on a favorite Pandora station and get to cooking for a few hours.
Here are my go-to make-ahead meals right now:
Breakfast:
Steel cut oat pucks - via New Nostalgia
Breakfast burritos - via hellobee
Lunch
Salad in a jar - via The Kitchn
Chicken tortilla soup - via Food Network
Dinner
Black bean and squash enchilada casserole - via skinnytaste
Quinoa stuffed peppers - via me
A couple of tips:
Stock up on mason jars and these storage lids for the oatmeal pucks, soup and salad.
Wrap individual portions of the breakfast burritos, casserole and stuffed peppers with aluminum foil.
With the exception of the salad jars, you can freeze all of these for another week if you don't eat everything!
