One of the biggest trends right now in the food world is meal prep. If you’re new to meal prep, the basic idea is that you shop, prepare (usually on one designated day), and then pack multiple meals that are easy to assemble throughout the week. Meal prep saves time, money, and a bit of your sanity! From lunch and dinner to breakfast and snacks, meal prep is perfect for busy people who crave homemade meals with convenience, good nutrition, and great flavor.

I’m not a meal prep guru, so I turned to Toby Amidor, RD this week to get us started. Toby is the author of The Healthy Meal Prep Cookbook: Easy and Wholesome Meals to Cook, Prep, Grab, and Go. I'm giving away a copy, so scroll down for instructions on how to enter!

Drawing inspiration from her grandmother, Toby's cookbook is infused with step-by-step guide for grocery shopping, cooking multiple meals all on the same day, and storage dos and don'ts. Together, we share our favorite cook-ahead recipes including Tuna Nicoise Salad and tips for using up leftovers in crepes, tacos, soups, and salads.
