Open in Pepper →A bowl of rice, something warm on top, and a little sauce covers a lot of weeknights. Cook it Sunday, eat it Tuesday, and nobody has to ask what's for dinner.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when the week looks packed — practice nights, long shifts, lunches that need packing before 7 a.m.
Every recipe here stacks up in a container and reheats well, from the Mediterranean Chicken Bowl and Best Chicken Burrito Bowl to Salmon and Sweet Potato Meal Prep Bowls, Beef and Pepper Rice Bowl, and a Warm Harvest Quinoa Bowl with kale and lemon.
Cool before you lid
Let rice and meat sit out 15 to 20 minutes before sealing containers, or steam collects and turns everything soggy.
Keep sauce separate
Pack cilantro lime sauce or guacamole in a 2-ounce cup and add it after reheating so it stays fresh and bright.
Undercook the vegetables
Pull zucchini, peppers, and broccoli 2 minutes early — they finish cooking in the microwave later in the week.
Salt the rice pot
Add 1 teaspoon salt per 2 cups of water before the rice goes in; seasoned rice keeps a bowl from tasting flat on day three.
