Tag: batch-cooking

I'm cooking for myself in a small apartment and hate getting stuck with the same leftovers for days. I'd like to prep once or twice a week for convenience but still have variety so I don't burn out on a single recipe. My fridge space is limited, and at work I only have a microwave. Budget is moderate, and I prefer simple ingredients I can find anywhere. What strategies or base components can I batch (like grains, proteins, sauces) to mix and match into different meals? Tips to keep produce from going limp and to avoid waste would be really helpful.
