Make-Ahead Gaming Snacks: Cook Once, Play All Week for GTA VI

GTA VI comes out on November 19, and I'll be honest: I'm setting aside some dedicated time away from regular life to play it. The last thing I want during that time is to be standing at the stove. So this is my plan, and now it's yours. Cook once this weekend, then play all week.

Every recipe here is picked because it holds up. The batch dinners keep in the fridge for days, the freezer snacks get prepped now and cooked when you're hungry, and the one-hand snacks won't leave your controller greasy. Most of them have storage and reheating notes right on the recipe, so you'll know exactly how long they last.

Pick one batch dinner and one freezer snack this weekend, keep a drink on hand, and launch week is sorted. Here's the lineup: batch dinners, the freezer stash, one-hand snacks and drinks, plus how to reheat everything so it still tastes good.
