I used to cook dinner every single night, which, as anyone with a busy schedule knows, can be exhausting. Then I stumbled upon batch cooking, and let me tell you, it changed everything. Instead of slaving over the stove daily, I spent a few hours on the weekend preparing large portions of meals that I could easily reheat throughout the week. Think chili, soups, casseroles—all made in bulk and portioned out for later. Not only did it save me time, but it also kept me from resorting to unhealthy takeout. Now, I can enjoy homemade meals every day, all without the hassle. If you’re busy, batch cooking is the ultimate life hack.
