Week 24 Meal Plan Summary

Essential Notes for This Week’s Meal Prep
  • Maximize Flavor and Efficiency: When preparing the Thai Chicken Fettuccine, we highly recommend doubling the sauce recipe. This allows you to freeze half for a quick and flavorful meal solution on a busy future evening. Remember to label the frozen sauce clearly with the date and instructions: “Thaw and reheat over medium heat. Serve with sautéed chicken and red bell pepper over rice or fettuccine, garnished with fresh cilantro.” This small step can save significant time later!
  • Smart Freezing Tip: For any dish you plan to freeze, printing an extra copy of the recipe and tucking it securely between layers of foil or inside a plastic baggie with the food is a game-changer. This ensures you always have the cooking and reheating instructions readily available when you decide to enjoy your frozen meal, preventing any last-minute scrambling.
