Fridge and freezer purge first

whatever's about to turn decides the menu more than any plan does

Pick max 2 proteins, 1 grain, 2 veg roasts

more than that and something's always half cooked while you're still chopping

Get the grain going on the stovetop before anything else

rice needs its own timer, walk away once and it's mush by the time you check

Oven to 425, sheet pans lined before you touch a knife

Roast veg while protein #1 sears

trust the process, they finish close to together if everything's cut the same size

Braise or simmer protein #2 low and ignore it

Shred protein straight off the heat, not after it's cold

cold chicken shreds like rubber. do it while it still steams

Portion into containers labeled by day, not by dish

unlabeled and it's a fridge mystery by wednesday

Reset the counters and stovetop before you sit down

skip this one and monday starts already behind
