Batch Cooking – Not My Superpower, But I See the Magic
I’ll be honest — I’m not a batch cooking queen. But some of my friends? Total pros. What I’ve learned from them is that the trick isn’t just in the cooking, it’s in the planning: investing in decent, long-lasting containers, labelling things clearly, and making the most of your freezer space so you can actually see what you’ve got.

Batch cooking helps reduce food waste by using up whole ingredients and turning them into ready-to-go meals for future you. It also saves time and energy — fewer nights of “what’s for dinner?” panic and less temptation to order something random online.

Batch cooking is kind of like future-proofing your decision fatigue. You're not just cooking for today — you’re helping your next week self breathe a little easier. Plus, nothing feels more smug (in a good way) than opening the freezer and seeing it full of meals you already made.

Start small. Even doubling one recipe and freezing half is a win.
