Batch cooking is the practice of making adequate food, in one cooking session, to get you through most or all of your week. Batch cooking saves time and cash. With good planning, it can be both healthy and exquisite, making it an all around great choice for those in the process of shedding pounds.
When batch cooking, you prepare 1 or 2 different recipes that share lots of the same ingredients. There’s not much or no waste, and the time spent in prepping the ingredients works for several recipes.
For example, you could make healthy, low fat versions of Chicken Cacciatore, Spanish Chicken, Hawaiian Chicken, and Chicken Vegetable Soup, all in the same afternoon. Low fat, skinless chicken fillet can be bought in a large, economy-sized package and split up into 3 or 4 lots. If you are not keen on chicken, you can substitute shrimp, skinless turkey breast, skinless baked or broiled white fish, tofu, legumes, and lots of other categories of fat-free, healthy proteins.
After you've produced a lot of delicious, healthy, home-cooked food, leave enough portion-controlled servings in your fridge that will stay fresh for the course of your workweek. You can make portion-controlled frozen dinners for future use, with any leftover food.
Consider what sort of time and money you may save with batch cooking. Since you will not be spending time stopping for forgotten groceries, and in extensive cooking and cleanup tasks every day, you will have more time to spend exercising and engaged in other enjoyable activities. If you only have to food shop and do one major cooking and cleanup session per week, you'll find you're more certain to skip the take-out windows. Rather than having to handle cooking each day, you'll get to anticipate enjoying the excellent meals that you have just prepared.
With batch cooking, there is nearly no nightly preparation and cleanup. It will only take minutes to microwave a delicious, homemade, portion-controlled meal—and only a minute or 2 to scrub up once you've eaten. Batch cooking may save you enough money per year to purchase a gym membership, vacation, or a new wardrobe.
Your home made, portion-controlled meals, when twinned with a fresh salad with reduced fat dressing and a massive tumbler of water, will be a pleasing treat. You will soon notice how straightforward batch cooking, organization, and preparation makes your life.
