This is a 2 week menu I followed a plan from the cookbook, “Once a Month Cooking: Family Favorites“.
When volume cooking, plan your time in this way:
- Menu Plan: Either choose an existing menu or create your own. Make a grocery list.
- Shopping: This session cost about $250.00 for 14 dinners. This menu chart provides 4x 4 serving recipes, 5x 6 serving recipes, 2-x8 serving recipes, and 1-x12 serving recipe.
- Prepping: This is the biggest time commitment. You chop, dice, brown, slice, all the ingredients.
- Assembling: Assemble all the ingredients together according to the recipe, and freeze.
I did this over two days. I think it was about six hours for the prep and assemble.
The prepping:
Veggies, herbs, nuts, juices…
Massive Mound of Meats…
The results: Green Chicken with Lemon-Pistachio Rice, Adobe Chicken, Chicken to Go, Grilled Southwest Chicken with Cilantro Sauce, Ham and Winter Vegetable Potpie, Korean Pork BBQ, Pork Chops with Apples and mushrooms, Penne in Cream Sauce with Sausage, Corn Soup with Basil, Avocado, and Crab, 5 Cheese Spinach Quiche, Red Mesa Tacos, Uptown (Sloppy) Joes, Roast, Orange Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry
The freezer is FFFFUUULLLLLL!!
