Week 14 Summary: Your Blueprint for Delicious Dinners

Key Notes for This Week’s Meal Preparation
  • Baked Potato Soup: A Savvy Way to Use Leftovers! This creamy and rich soup is not just incredibly satisfying but also an excellent opportunity for smart meal prep. Consider baking extra potatoes over the weekend or on an earlier day. By having pre-baked potatoes on hand, you can significantly reduce the preparation time for Day 1’s soup, turning a potentially longer cook into a quick and easy weeknight delight. It’s all about working smarter, not harder, in the kitchen.
  • Chili Cheese Burritos Filling: Prep Ahead & Freeze for Future Meals! The hearty filling for these Chili Cheese Burritos is wonderfully versatile and freezer-friendly. You can prepare a larger batch of the chili-cheese mixture in advance, allowing you to easily portion and freeze it. This strategy not only makes Day 3’s dinner come together in mere minutes but also provides a convenient, ready-to-go meal starter for future busy evenings. Imagine having a delicious, homemade burrito filling ready to thaw and serve whenever hunger strikes!
