A cook-once, eat-twice meal plan gives every extra portion a specific second job.

To meal plan for a week, begin with your calendar and choose dinners only for nights when you can realistically cook.

Use leftover roast chicken in tacos, white bean soup, fried rice, pot pie, pesto pasta, chopped salad, or quesadillas.

For one-pot chickpea tomato pasta with a thick sauce, simmer 12 ounces of short pasta with one 28-ounce can of crushed tomatoes and 3 cups of water or broth.

For 8 sweet potato black bean tacos, roast ½-inch sweet-potato cubes at 425°F (220°C) for 25–30 minutes, turning once.
Reliable main dishes designed for real schedules and ordinary equipment.
Satisfying vegetable, bean, grain, and pasta dinners with no apology course.
Simple systems that turn groceries and cooked food into several good meals.
