Pro Tips & Cooking Tricks

1

Invest in quality glass containers with compartments - they keep food fresh longer, prevent flavor mixing, and are dishwasher safe

2

Cook versatile base ingredients (chicken, rice, roasted veggies) that can be mixed and matched into different meals throughout the week

3

Label everything with dates and contents - use masking tape and markers, or invest in reusable labels for your containers

4

Batch cook in strategic order: start with oven items, then stovetop, utilizing every surface and appliance simultaneously

5

Freeze half your portions if prepping for two weeks - prevents food fatigue and ensures peak freshness when you eat it

6

Keep dressings, sauces, and crispy toppings separate until serving - prevents soggy salads and maintains texture
