Batch-Cook Strategy
Cook double portions of the bolognese on Monday — use the rest for Friday pasta.
Roast extra chicken on Sunday to use in wraps or salads mid-week.
Make the lentil soup in a large pot; it keeps for 4 days in the fridge.
Prep all vegetables on Sunday evening to cut daily cook time by half.
