Batch Your Food Preparation And Reclaim Your Evenings
Recently on a plane flight, I was talking to a gentleman who was sitting next to me, and he mentioned an idea worth sharing. He said his friend’s household was constantly busy; everybody had different schedules, and didn’t have a lot of time to cook food.
One day they tried batching their food preparation. Every weekend they spend a few hours in the kitchen cooking a week or more worth of food for the whole household. Once cooked, they pull out their vacuum sealer and create individually sealed meals. Both the main dish and the sides are individually sealed with one multi-segment bag. In effect they are creating healthy boil-in-the-bag TV dinners.
After a busy day, they come home, go to their freezer, pull out a meal and throw it in a pot of boiling water. After the food is heated, they cut open the bag, put it on a plate and eat up.
Time saved? Many hours every week. Try it yourself and see if it works for you. Drop a line in the comments if you try it, or if you have done this yourself.
