You don't need hours to make a delicious, healthy meal. Prepping or cooking ahead is a great way to save time and reduce the stress of cooking when you’re tired or have little time. Pick a day when you have an extra hour to do prep work for the rest of the week, marinate a cut of chicken, meat or fish in the morning or get your slow cooker cooking. No matter when you fit it in, preparing ahead of time will give you healthy and simple meals to enjoy when you need them.
