Food and drink
The Sunnah at the table: beginning with Bismillah, eating from what is in front of you, praising Allah afterwards, drinking in three breaths, and not finding fault with food. Meals come several times a day, which makes these some of the easiest Sunnahs to attach to something you already do.
