Storage Containers:

🥡 I bought a multi-pack of THESE Snapware containers (affiliate link) at Costco a year ago and we really love them. This particular 5.5 cup size is my favorite as it allows me to fit a complete serving of a meal without it being too crowded.

Meal Prep Tips:

I like to do my grocery shopping on the same day that I meal prep or else some things will get lost in the abyss that is my fridge.
Monday: This whole recipe is best made night of but it’s very easy!
Tuesday: Another one that is SUPER easy but best made night of. You *could* prep the chickpeas ahead of time but it’s not my preference.
Wednesday: Prep the cilantro onion mixture ahead of time + shop all of the veggies. Gather the canned goods and measure out the spices into a small container.
Thursday: Chop the veggies (you could also go ahead and roast them).
Friday: Prep the tofu and pre-make the rice
BONUS: This whole recipe is IDEAL made ahead of time and truly gets better after it sits for 24 hours.

I REALLY hope that you find these meal plans helpful. PLEASE PLEASE respond back to this email if you ever have questions OR suggestions for making the meal plans better.

Happy cooking!

Vegetarian Sushi Bake (vegan friendly!)

This Vegetarian Sushi Bake is my take on the VIRAL trend that has been ALL over Tiktok and Instagram for many months! Instead of fish, we’re using a simple tofu mixture to keep this close to the original BUT fully meat and seafood free.
