Tips for Easy and Efficient Prep:
- Make twice the amount when preparing staple ingredients like roasted vegetables, grains, or lean proteins. While you have the oven hot for your holiday cooking, throw in an extra sheet pan of Brussels sprouts or sweet potatoes. Store these prepped basics in clear containers at eye level in your fridge – they’ll make perfect building blocks for quick lunches and dinners throughout the week, saving you precious time during the holiday rush.
- Before the holiday chaos hits full swing, dedicate one Sunday to making and freezing portion-sized healthy meals. Focus on recipes that freeze well, like turkey chili, vegetable soup, or whole-grain breakfast burritos. Label everything clearly with dates and reheating instructions. When holiday shopping, parties, and family visits leave you short on time, you’ll have nutritious options ready to heat and eat.
- When chopping vegetables or preparing ingredients for holiday dishes, cut extra for everyday meals. If you’re dicing onions for stuffing, chop additional ones for weeknight stir-fries. Making a big salad for a holiday gathering? Prep extra greens and store them with a paper towel to absorb moisture, giving you ready-to-go salad bases for quick meals. This simple strategy turns holiday cooking into an opportunity for efficient meal prep.
