Weekly Preparation Strategy

• Every evening : Preparation of lunches for the next day

Sunday Optimization

Sunday preparation allows you to:

• Have Bolognese Sauce Ready for Multiple Meals
• Prepare chicken for quesadillas and salad
• Save time on weeknights
• Making morning lunches easier

Sunday's Strategic Preparation

The preparation of sauces and meats is strategic because it:

• Saves energy (grouped cooking)
