# Meal prep on Sunday

URL: https://gocutline.com/playbooks/meal-prep-sunday/

Meal prep on Sunday: One hour on Sunday decides four days of eating. 1) Pick two recipes from the library: one for lunches, one for dinners. 2) Shop once, with a list. Keep the same list until you are bored of it. 3) Cook both at the same time: the oven does one, the stove the other.

## The steps
1. Pick two recipes from the library: one for lunches, one for dinners.
2. Shop once, with a list. Keep the same list until you are bored of it.
3. Cook both at the same time: the oven does one, the stove the other.
4. Split everything into boxes. Three days in the fridge, the rest in the freezer.
5. Put the boxes at the front of the fridge, where you see them first.
