Prep to Save Time:

Meal prepping, or batch cooking, is where you make many servings of a meal at one time. This meal can then stretch throughout the week. Meal prepping is a great way to portion your meals to ensure that you have enough to eat over a period of time.

For example, if you are making meatballs for dinner, double the amount of tomato sauce you make. Freeze the extra or add a grain and vegetable to make another meal for that week.

Also, if a recipe requires a lot of effort, prep parts of it ahead of time. Try washing, chopping, and measuring days before you cook your recipe to save time.
