Here Are 25 Days of Easy Meals from the Grill
updated NowWe love meal planning and meal prep — we think it’s the secret to getting dinner on the table on busy nights — but there are certain techniques and tools that make it notably easier in a way that can feel magical (like, in the way that everything was somehow easier to pull off than it should have been and you got away with something really great). As we move deeper into spring and head into summer, the best tool for both easier weeknight cooking and meal prep is your grill.
In addition to low-effort cooking, the grill is one of the most useful tools for meal prep . And if you haven’t been meal prepping with the grill in mind, hold on and stay here right now because we have got a plan for you!
Use the Grill to Prep Your Meal Plan
It’s easy to prep for the grill. You don’t have to add much flavor to foods like chicken breasts, asparagus, and tofu before throwing them onto a smoky grate to cook. You don’t need to prepare elaborate dishes or dirty many pots and pans. Just marinate some chicken and veg, or string a few skewers, bang it all in the fridge, and you’re done.
Secondly, the actual cooking is easy and satisfying. Just prep your food ahead of time and then during the week, fire up the grill, put your food on, and then strut back in with swagger. You’re not eating reheated leftovers; you’re eating something fresh from the grill.
Last but not least, when you meal prep for the grill, cleanup is extra easy . We love the cleanup, in fact; just brush down the grill and you’re done. No sheet pans or skillets to wash.
Ultimately, the work involved in prepping for a week of meals from the grill (or with some grilled flavor added during prep) is one of the most satisfying, magical approaches to meal prep that we know, and we can hardly wait to share these five meal meal plans with you.
