Back to School
Lunches that come home empty. Turkey club sandwiches, mason jar salads, blueberry muffins, freezer breakfast burritos, and no bake bars, all built to survive a morning in a bag.
The Sunday prep plan is written into the recipes: what to make ahead, what freezes, and what to assemble the night before.

Questions cooks actually ask
How do I prep a week of lunches in one hour?
Freeze the burritos, bake the egg muffin cups Sunday, and assemble jars the night before. The meal prep page lays out the full hour.
What keeps sandwiches from going soggy?
Barrier layers, butter or cheese against the bread, and wet ingredients like tomato packed separately. Each sandwich recipe notes its build order.
