Chopping and Prepping Ingredients:

1. Before you start cooking, warm up the oven and set out all your ingredients and tools, giving the recipes a quick look so your meal prep stays easy and organized.
   

Cooking Phase 1: Oven Recipes:

3. Pineapple BBQ Chicken: Place chicken in a baking dish, coat with BBQ sauce, and top with pineapple, red onion, and seasonings. Bake 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
4. Cauliflower Sausage Pizza: Trim and slice cauliflower into 1-inch steaks, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 25 minutes. Top with tomato sauce mixed with thyme and salt, garlic, cheeses, and diced sausage, then return to the oven for 5–10 minutes until heated through and melted.

Cooking Phase 2: Stove Top Recipes:

1. One Pot Cajun Sausage Stew: Heat oil in a soup pot over medium-high and sauté onion, carrots, and celery until softened, then add garlic and sausage and cook briefly. Stir in broth, tomato sauce, bell pepper, okra, and seasonings, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes.

3. Cauliflower Rice: Sauté cauliflower rice in oil over medium-high until tender, then stir in coconut milk and seasonings and cook until thickened. Serve with the cooked chicken and finish with fresh cilantro.

Final Step and Assembly:

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

Meal Prep Run Down

Chopping and Prepping Ingredients:

1. Collect all ingredients, spices, tools, and equipment, and review the recipes beforehand to ensure meal prep goes smoothly and stress-free.

Cooking Phase 1: Instant Pot and Oven Recipes:

1. Harissa Beef Stew: Peel and cube turnips, layer beef in a pot with chicken broth, harissa, bay leaf, salt, onions, garlic, carrots, turnips, and bell peppers, then cook in an Instant Pot on medium for 45 minutes (or slow cooker on high 4–6 hours) before naturally releasing the steam.
2. Egg Stuffed Peppers: Halve and deseed bell peppers, crack an egg into each, bake 12–15 minutes until set, then top with harissa, pistachio pesto, and avocado slices.
3. Pomegranate Crisp: Grease a baking dish, toss thinly sliced apple and pear with orange juice and zest, sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and pomegranate seeds, top with a crumbly oat-butter streusel, bake 25–30 minutes until golden, and serve warm with pomegranate seeds and honey.
4. Harissa Chicken Tenders: Toss peeled and diced turnips with chicken, harissa, seasonings, and olive oil, bake 20–25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F, then serve with pomegranate seeds and pepperoncini.
5. Pistachio Crusted Salmon and Asparagus: Chop pistachios, spread Dijon on salmon, season salmon and asparagus with garlic and salt, coat salmon with pistachios, drizzle with olive oil, bake 12–15 minutes until 145°F, and finish with fresh lemon juice.

Cooking Phase 2: Stove Top Recipes:

1. Hot and Sour Soup: Sauté onions, garlic, and mushrooms in oil, add chicken stock, soy sauce, vinegar, and brown sugar, stir in whisked eggs to form ribbons, simmer 2–3 minutes, then finish with sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and green onions.

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.
