Ideas for Food Prep:
- Think about pre-chopping your onions. It’s nice to have them already done and ready to go.
- Slice up your sweet peppers for snacks.
- If you can’t use up your tomatoes soon enough, just pop them whole in the freezer. Come winter, just toss them in a pan with some olive oil, onions, and garlic and roast them at low heat for a couple of hours for a fantastic sauce.
- Go ahead and pre-wash your arugula so it’s ready to go! Make sure you’ve got salad dressings on hand.

Please read! If a recipe can very easily be made vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free using simple substitutes like non-dairy spread, vegetable stock, gluten free pasta, gluten free soy sauce or a small amount of gluten free flour, or by leaving out an ingredient, I’ve coded them with that in mind. If they include things like mayonnaise, eggs, milk, honey or large quantities of flour, I haven’t coded them as such. I don’t have experience using things like egg substitute, non-dairy cheese or subbing in gluten-free flours. Please double check the ingredients for your own safety!
