Planning your meals for the week is one of the best ways to stay organized and save money at the grocery store. I love having a set plan because it stops me from wondering what to cook when I am tired after a long day.

To make your week go smoothly, try prepping your vegetables or marinating your proteins on Sunday afternoon. You will be so glad you did when dinner time rolls around during a busy work week.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breast
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 large bell peppers
  • 1 head of broccoli
  • 1 pound pasta
  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 1 jar marinara sauce
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Start by washing and chopping all of your fresh vegetables so they are ready to use.

  2. 2

    Season your chicken breast and ground beef with salt and pepper before cooking.

  3. 3

    Cook the rice according to the package instructions and set it aside for your stir fry nights.

  4. 4

    Boil a large pot of water to cook your pasta for quick midweek dinners.

  5. 5

    Store your prepared ingredients in airtight containers in the fridge to keep them fresh until you need them.

  6. 6

    Cook your meals throughout the week by pairing your prepped proteins with the rice, pasta, or vegetables.

💡 Tips

Store your chopped vegetables in glass containers with a paper towel to soak up extra moisture. If you need to store cooked meat, keep it in the fridge for up to three days. You can also freeze portions if you are not planning to eat them right away.
