Sarah’s Top Tips for the Week
- Double up on aromatics. Chop extra garlic and onions when you have a free moment and store them in the fridge to cut prep time for multiple recipes.
- Marinate while multitasking. Toss the chicken in harissa marinade in the morning or the night before so the flavors develop without adding dinner-time work.
- Use the air fryer for speed and texture. Air-frying the stuffed peppers gives a great roasted finish fast, and leftovers reheat well for lunches.
- Make extras to save time. Cook a double batch of meatballs and freeze half. They thaw quickly and make a ready-made dinner for busy nights.
- Smart serving suggestions. Stretch meals with simple sides—roasted vegetables, a quick salad, or a pot of rice helps feed more people and balances the plate.
- Store leftovers safely. Cool food to room temperature before refrigerating in airtight containers and use within 3–4 days for best quality.
