I’m officially burnt out on high-stress cooking. In 2026, I want to prioritize easy, feel-good meals that don’t skimp on flavor or nutrition. I want eating to feel joyful again, not like another daily task that drains my time, energy, and patience.
Thankfully, I’ve rounded up a handful of seriously delicious meals you can prep on Sundays to keep you nourished all week long. Think: less weekday chaos, fewer last-minute chip grabs, and no more defaulting to microwave dinners when you’re too exhausted to cook. A little planning ahead makes it easier to support your health — without living in the kitchen.
Here are delicious meal plans to enjoy throughout the week.
