Oven Batch Cooking
I absolutely love shortcuts!
My daily life is always super busy with patients, blog, yoga, friends…but cooking my own food is extremely important for my keto paleo lifestyle.
So I created the all the easiest and quickest ways to prepare very tasty meals that will keep me happy and healthy!
One of my favorite ones is oven batch cooking. I just prepare meals for the whole week in just a few hours. I usually start with roasting a whole chicken, on the bottom rack of the oven, and some fish on the top, or a thick cut of steak.
As things get ready I take them out and add in new trays: Zucchini, mushrooms, some sweet potatoes, a spaghetti squash, asparagus….and cauliflower!
Everything pretty much cooks at the same time, saving time and energy! (Mine and the electricity bill!)
Then I put everything in glass tupperwares, and the week of meals is pretty much ready! Just add a salad or some avocado to the side…

If you batch cook, how do you reheat everything and it come out tasting good? And not dry?
I usually reheat whatever portion I will be eating in a ceramic nontick skillet on the stove with a lid, and it comes out perfect! 🙂
