MEAL PREP SUNDAY
Five lunches, one Sunday,
perfect all week.
Ninety minutes on Sunday, five proper lunches that steam back to just-made — Monday through Friday.
The hard part of meal prep isn't the cooking — it's opening the lid on Wednesday to something lukewarm and dry. These five hold up all week and steam back to just-made, so Friday tastes as good as Monday.
