Meal prep goes faster with the Queen of Soul. Aretha Franklin passed in 2018, but her records still fill a kitchen like nothing else.

## Start with the classics

- "Respect" while you clear the counters
- "Think" chopping vegetables
- "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" while things simmer
- "Chain of Fools" for dishes

## Go deeper

Put on *Amazing Grace* her live gospel album, while you portion lunches. It is one of the best-selling gospel records ever made and a reminder of what her voice could do.

## The point

Sunday prep is a gift to Monday-you. Her music makes it feel like a celebration rather than a chore.
