Overview

Cooking at home requires budgeting your time and money. Without a plan, your veggies wilt, meat goes bad, and your goals quickly go out the window. In the Meal Prep Contest, we want you to start thinking ahead about what you cook and show us how you prepare meals in advance.

Prizes include a Vitamix blender, Wusthof chef’s and paring knife, and FoodSaver vacuum sealing system. All Instructables that are about saving time and cooking ahead are eligible. Whether you’re chopping and portioning veggies on Sunday night or making batches of breakfast burritos, if it helps you stick to your plan, we want to read about it!
