Hello, hello, its time for Prep Cook!

Weve taken care of the hardest part of meal planning: actually choosing what to eat.

We test a weeks worth of recipes so you spend your time and money making the most delicious ones.

Prep difficulty: Easy

Boost it: Add in other frozen fruit to change the flavor as you like.

Jam filled muffins: If youre feeling fancy, these muffins look (and taste) decadent.

Great if you have an hour or so to spend baking on a weekend morning.

Boost it: Dip these in chocolate rather than just drizzling it on.

Yeah, more chocolate never hurt anyone.

Lunch & Dinner

Spicy buffalo chickpea wrapswithsmoky tomato soup: This meal has flavor, lots of flavor.

And it is simple to pull together, plus scales well with little extra effort.

Boost it: Add tahini to your wrap and sprinkle some fresh herbs on top of the soup.

Add meat: Swap the chickpeas for diced chicken.

Pack it for lunch: Keep the pita separate from the filling until its time to eat.

If you want leftovers for lunch the next day, make two pizzas.

Boost it: Add more toppings than you think will fit on the pizza.

Add meat: Ground beef, turkey, or sausage sprinkled throughout the veggies.

Otherwise use a container thatll keep the slices flat so the toppings dont tumble off.

The salad helps cut the oily fried latkes.

Boost it: Make your own dressing.

Add meat: Toss sliced or cubed chicken or steak into the salad.

Prep difficulty: Hard

Boost it: Add chili oil to your filling for some spice.

Add meat: Throw ground meat into the filling.

Pack it for lunch: Keep the salad and shumai separate.

I recommend serving this with rice, naan, or a good crusty bread (I choose olive).

Boost it: Add a hit of lemon or lime juice before serving to bump up the acidity.

Add meat: Pan fry a chicken breast and slice it to top a bowl of this curry.

Pack it for lunch: Scoop into a container and youre set.

Add meat: Swap the tofu for chicken or a white fish.

Boost it: Make your own pasta (or use fresh, not dried, pasta).

Add meat: Add in ham or pancetta.

Pack it for lunch: Pile it into a container and youre good to go.
