What Makes Rachel Cooks Meal Plans Different?
I know there are a lot of meal plans offered. Why pick ours?
We plan them with a hectic schedule in mind. Our main goal is to make these meal prepares affordable and sensible. That indicates were not just grabbing 5 random dishes and sending you off to the store with a ridiculously long grocery list. We consider what works well together and how to conserve you time. For example: Sometimes youll cook a big amount of food on one day (however with the exact same quantity of effort), and the additional food (dont call them leftovers!) is repurposed for a different meal the following day. 2 meals in one!Balance: As you most likely already understand, the bulk of the dishes on Rachel Cooks are easy to prepare. However, some dishes simply naturally have longer ingredient lists than others. Were keeping that in mind, and balancing the more complex dishes with easier recipes that have much shorter active ingredient lists. And speaking of balance, well typically be featuring a meatless dish on Mondays.Fun Fridays! We will take it easy on you every Friday (TGIF!) with a fun, easy-to-prepare meal. Believe tacos, pizza, or other kid-friendly dishes you can throw up with a few store-bought faster ways. Categorized Grocery List: Not just is the grocery list categorized to make shopping simple, however it likewise suggests which day the active ingredient is required. That suggests if you arent eating house on Friday, you can easily go through the list and cross off the Friday components. Possibly you think Mondays recipe sounds … gross. We disagree, of course, however you can cross off those ingredients without having to comb through each dish to figure out what you do or do not need.Meal Prep/Make Ahead: Many of our recipes consist of concepts to get a running start on recipes. This is optional, of course, however often doing a little meal prepping ahead of time (possibly on Saturday or Sunday) can make a huge difference on weeknights!
