Sunday Meal Prep Basics

Time: 2 hours Yield: 5 days
food prep meal ideas kitchen tips

Good food prep is the secret behind consistent quick meals. A couple of hours on Sunday can save you hours of decision-making during the week.

What to Prep

  • Cook one grain (rice, quinoa, or pasta)
  • Roast one tray of mixed vegetables
  • Prepare one protein (chicken, tofu, or boiled eggs)
  • Wash and chop raw vegetables for snacks
  • Make one simple dressing or sauce

How to Store

  1. Use airtight glass or BPA-free containers.
  2. Store sauces separately to prevent sogginess.
  3. Keep cooked proteins and grains in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  4. Label containers with the date so nothing is forgotten.

Cooking hack: Prep ingredients, not full meals. Components mix and match better than identical lunches every day.

Cooking Hacks

Knife Skills for Speed

Time: 15 min practice Skill level: Beginner
cooking hacks kitchen tips recipe guide

Slow chopping is one of the biggest bottlenecks in home cooking. These kitchen tips will help you prep vegetables faster and more safely.

Three Cuts to Master

  • Slice: Long, even strokes for capsicum, onion, and cucumber.
  • Dice: Small, square cubes for sauces and salsas.
  • Chiffonade: Fine ribbons for herbs and leafy greens.

Safety First

  1. Keep your knife sharp. A dull knife slips more easily.
  2. Use a stable cutting board. Place a damp cloth underneath if it slides.
  3. Tuck your fingertips under and use your knuckles as a guide.
  4. Cut away from your body and never leave knives in soapy water.

Cooking hack: Group similar shapes together on the board so you can cut several pieces with each stroke.
