Batch Cooking

​

A meal preparation strategy involving cooking large quantities of food at once, then portioning and storing for future meals. Saves time, reduces food waste, and ensures consistent flavors across multiple servings.

  • Choose recipes that scale well and freeze/refrigerate successfully.

  • Invest in quality storage containers with tight-fitting lids.

  • Label everything with contents and date for easy identification.

  • Cool foods completely before refrigerating or freezing.

  • Plan for variety – batch cook components, not just complete meals.

There was a time when I naively thought Busta Rhymes, Modest Mouse, Missy Elliott, and so many others were sell-outs…but I get it now. Certain pages and posts may contain Amazon affiliate links – I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Every item linked is a product I believe in based on my personal experience. Sometimes I'll link to Target, Costco, or another store instead – usually because the price or product is just better (looking at you, Ball jars). I don't earn anything from those links; they're simply where I'd shop myself.
