How Batch Cooking Saves My 2026 Pantry Challenge | Week 3 Meal Prep

Welcome to Week 3 of the 2026 Pantry Challenge! We are leaning into cozy comfort foods this week to keep us motivated and full. By batch cooking today, I’m saving myself hours of stress and energy for the rest of the week.

On the menu this week:  Breakfast: Big batch Sweet Potato Pancakes (using canned sweet potatoes) with a side of eggs.

Lunch: Loaded “Baked” Potato Soup made effortlessly with instant potatoes and canned potatoes, plus sandwiches or crackers.

Dinner: A rotating feast of Enchilada Casserole and Mexican Pork with rice and beans.
