Cooking every day is exhausting. Between work, family, and everything else, dinner can feel like one more thing on your plate—literally. Batch cooking flips that script. With just a couple of focused hours each week, you can stack your fridge with healthy meals and skip the daily stress.

1. Pick 2 Proteins, 2 Veggies, 1 Carb Base
Keep it simple. Grill chicken and roast chickpeas. Roast broccoli and steam green beans. Cook up a pot of quinoa or brown rice. Mix and match during the week for quick meals that don’t get boring.
2. Use Sheet Pans and One-Pot Recipes
Minimize cleanup. Roast everything on trays. Cook soups, stews, or curries in a single pot. Big wins with less mess. Bonus: most batch meals taste even better the next day.
3. Portion and Store Smart
Use glass containers or meal prep boxes. Separate by meal if you’re going grab-and-go, or store ingredients separately to mix things up. Label everything so you don’t forget what’s what by Thursday.
4. Add Freshness Last-Minute
Throw in fresh herbs, greens, avocado, or a squeeze of lemon right before eating. It keeps things from tasting flat and makes even reheated meals feel fresh.
