Rule 1: Protein first
Every recipe is built around a protein that holds up for days in the fridge, from chicken thighs to tofu.
Rule 2: Batch it
Most recipes make four to six portions and come with storage and reheating notes, so prep day pays off all week.
Rule 3: Keep it real
No miracle claims and no fads. Just tested home cooking with ingredients you can find at a regular grocery store.
