Chef Ana's Perspective

## Chef's Notes

This meal prep features a vibrant array of flavors, from bright citrus chicken to rich, slow-cooked beef.

**Read the full notes**

I focused on creating balanced meals with diverse proteins and colorful, nutrient-dense vegetables.

The grilled orange chicken is a highlight, offering a fresh and zesty profile that's perfect for a light yet satisfying meal.

Slow-braised short ribs provide a comforting and deeply savory option, showcasing tender meat in a rich sauce.

Attention to detail in preparation ensures each dish maintains its integrity and flavor throughout the week.
