30 Easy Meal Prep Recipes You'll Want to Make on Repeat

When I wrap up work after a long day, the last thing I want to do is spend hours in the kitchen cooking dinner. During these occasions, what I really need are some easy meal prep recipes I can prep ahead of time and just pull out of the fridge at dinnertime. Otherwise, I steadily get hangrier as I search my refrigerator and pantry, tempted to just forget about cooking and order takeout instead. But while getting sushi delivered would cure my “what to make for dinner” woes in the interim, I’ll just run into the exact same problem the following night. To break the cycle, I’ve gathered a bunch of easy meal prep recipes I can rely on from week to week.
