Better Homes & Gardens: Meal-Prep Recipes – August 2020

Put together a meal prep strategy to make your life easier. With just a little extra prep time spent on the weekends, you can jump-start meals for the whole week. Better Homes & Gardens Meal Prep Recipes magazine is packed with more than 80 recipes that you can plan ahead, then finish off when a quick breakfast, lunch, or dinner is a must. It’s all about strategy. For example, double up on casseroles—whip up one for dinner, stash the other in the freezer. Or put together a sheet-pan dinner that yields enough leftovers to transform into a completely different dinner tomorrow. When you buy meat in bulk, divvy it up, add a marinade, and freeze it all together for later (the marinade flavors the meat while it thaws!). Jump-start slow-cooker dinners for the week by assembling the ingredients in a bag, then refrigerating until you’re ready to pop it in the slow cooker. Or fix a big batch of protein (chicken, pork, ground beef, or a vegetarian blend), then remake the extras in two different ways during the coming week. BH&G Meal Prep is all about prepping smart so you can eat at home with less weeknight fuss and bother. Are you ready to simplify? Let’s go!
