Back to Explore Habits
A weekly cooking session of versatile base components combined differently each day.
Micro-habits to get started
Small actions of a few minutes to start this habit:
Two sheet pans in the oven
Roast two sheet pans of seasoned vegetables with olive oil at 400°F (200°C) for 35 minutes.
Two pans take the exact same oven time as one.
40 minBase pot into the fridge
Cook a pot of rice, potatoes, or legumes and refrigerate within one hour.
Cooling increases resistant starch. Cooked rice keeps for up to three days.
30 minTwo dressings
Whisk two distinct dressings or sauces so each day's bowl tastes completely different.
This is the lowest-effort, highest-impact component of batch cooking.
