Let’s get ready for the week!
On Sundays, before the week gets rolling for my family, I like to take a couple hours and prepare a few basic core items that will make eating whole, plant-based foods easier as we all go different directions all week long. This video will help you get organized, help you understand how to batch prep for the week, and hopefully, help reduce your stress a bit in the kitchen!
Batch Prep Ideas
Having a few things ready in the fridge makes the week a little easier. Here’s my list of favorite go-to’s that I prep on Sunday:
• break down raw vegetables
• par-cooked potatoes
• homemade dressings (reduces processed ingredients and extra sugars and saves money)
• pasta sauce (make double, freeze half)
• cooked grains and beans
• toasted nuts and seeds

WILD RICE SALAD
Such a simple favorite salad to highlight with that batch cooked rice. Freshness and crunch, and touch of
citrus to cut through the richness of the avocado.
SERVES 4
INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 C Wild rice, cooked and cooled
3 celery stalks, diced (any veggies work)
1 green onion, finely sliced
1 avocado, squeezed from skin
1/4 C Bell peppers, diced
3 T parsley, finely chopped (can use basil/mint)
2 T toasted sesame seeds, or mix of your favorite toasted seeds
1/2 lemon, juiced
3 T olive oil (or flax oil)
1 t sea salt
INSTRUCTIONS
• Combine all ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly.
• Serve as a salad on its own or with greens.
PRO TIPS:
• When you make a big batch of grains, spread out on a sheet pan and put into the fridge to cool safely.
• Have toasted sunflower and sesame seeds on hand to add to your batch cooking for a delicious nutty
flavor, or salad topper.
