In my household, we’ve followed a few tips to make it less daunting. For instance, we limit our preparation to only three meals (because we always have leftovers). We also choose freezer-friendly options to save the leftovers for another day just in case we don’t feel like eating what we made that night. Above all else, we use gear and equipment that won’t let us down. We’ve graduated from reused plastic takeout containers to durable [glass containers](. They keep our food fresher and have tight leakproof seals. Color-coded [flexible cutting mats]( help us stay organized and avoid cross-contamination. A good [peeler]( helps us prep what can seem like an endless amount of farmers’ market produce. Meal prepping is so much easier with [the right tools]( and it’s such a relief to start the week with dinner already covered. [Salad spinners]( Must-Have of the week A Salad Spinner It’s important to clean your greens well! Our favorite salad spinner works efficiently and effectively so that you can have the right type of fresh veggie crunch in your salad—not dirt. It has a round, spacious bowl and a responsive brake.
