Set Your Pace

• If you’re a beginner at meal prep: Be prepared to set aside 2-3 hours. Once mise en place is complete, all of these recipes can be completed one by one.
• If you’re a meal prep pro, use the sequenced steps below: These steps give you the flexibility to cook items simultaneously in a sequence of events.
• Be sure to set timers and check on food items to avoid overcooking. Sequencing will save you time and meal prep can be done in 1-2 hours.

Meal Prep Run Down

Chopping and Prepping Ingredients:

1. Before you start cooking, chop, measure, and prep all your ingredients. This will make the cooking process smoother. Preheat your oven to 400F.
2. Review your recipes and gather all of your cooking pans and utensils.

Cooking Phase 1: Start with the oven recipes

1. Layer all of the ingredients for the breakfast pizza and place it on a sheet pan. Bake it in the oven.
2. Season the chicken and vegetables for the fajitas and set them on a sheet pan.
3. Season the chicken for the pizza and place it on a sheet pan.
4. Season the potatoes, corn, and bell peppers for the corn hash on a sheet pan.
5. Place all items in the oven to bake. Be sure to set timers for each recipe respective to their cooking times.

Cooking Phase 2: Stovetop (while oven items bake)

1. Season the salmon and pan fry it on the stovetop, along with the cherry tomatoes and polenta.
2. Marinate the steak and cook it on an indoor grill pan.
3. Then, cook the breakfast polenta pancakes on the stovetop.

Cooking Phase 3: Assembly

1. After the chicken cooks, chop it into small pieces and assemble the BBQ chicken pizza. Place it in the oven until the cheese melts.
2. Assemble the mango salsa.

Final Steps:

1. Storage: Once all the dishes are fully cooked, plate everything into individual containers. Allow them to cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator for storage. This will keep your meals fresh and ready to enjoy throughout the week.

If you’re sequencing your meal prep, be sure to keep an eye on everything! Make sure food is kept refrigerated under 40F degrees until ready to eat.

Assembly Tips

• Evenly divide meals according to the serving size
• Let all items cool before placing them in the refrigerator
• Keep all items refrigerated under 40F until ready to eat or reheat
• Breakfast: Both can be reheated in the microwave. Serve the fruit chilled
• Lunch: You can reheat the proteins in the microwave, serve the mango salsa chilled
• Dinner: Both meals can be reheated in the microwave

Extra Flavors and Substitutions

• Breakfast Pizza: Serve with a side of fruit.
• Polenta Pancakes: Add a dollop of Greek yogurt for added protein.
• Fajitas: Pair with additional condiments such as jalapenos or pickled peppers.
• BBQ Pizza: Enjoy with a fresh side salad.
• Salmon: Squeeze lemon on top of the salmon for citrus flavors.
• Grilled Steak: Feel free to use your choice cut of steak.
• Supplement meals with additional snacks such as fresh veggies and fruit for additional daily caloric needs. You can use lime/lemon and olive oil in place of salad dressing

Extra Leftover Ingredients Not Used

• Protein: Freeze any uncooked meats and save for a later recipe, or you can cook the full amount, and freeze the portion that you do not eat, and save for later use.
• Fruit: Use leftover fruit in smoothies, on top of yogurt, or with your cereal
• Veggies: Freeze any leftover veggies for later use. Use leftover herbs in omelets or other dishes for the weekend
