I do bulk cooking with baked goods but not usually with meals. I do bulk shopping though, so I make sure that my meat is meal size portions before I put it in the freezer raw. Or for burgers, I make up my burgers raw and put in them in a freezer bag and put them in the freezer so I can pull them out to thaw for salisbury steak, or just grilled burgers.

Your menu sounds yummy this week!

Enjoy your week!

@Kate – I’ll have to check out your blog; thanks for letting me know!

@Bel – Wow, cooking quadruple for a family of 8 must mean a ton of food!

@Wifey – Yep, the chicken broccoli soup is one of our favorites – SUPER easy, too.

Your menu looks great, especially the chicken and broccoli soup.

I don’t really cook in bulk, but when I make soups or spaghetti sauce I freeze the leftovers if there is enough for another meal.

I do bulk cooking very occasionally just for that purpose (to fill the freezer), but mainly my freezer meals are leftovers from when I’ve just cooked double, triple or quadruple (no mean feat for a family of of a soup, curry, pasta sauce etc.

I love bulk cooking too. I’ve actually been blogging about it as part of a series with two other blogging friends. We’re calling the series 3 Moms, 3 Kitchens, 31 Days.

I have lots of bulk cooking planned for this week. Thanks for sharing the recipes. The chicken broccoli soup and tomato basil risotto sound just delicious!

@Sarah – Wow, I’m impressed!

@Org Junkie – I think making extra is sooo helpful. My problem is having enough for a whole other meal. My hubby is quite the eater. You can’t tell by looking at him, the jerk.

I don’t usually do any bulk cooking myself. I do make extra at each meal though so we have enough for lunches and leftovers throughout the week. Does that count

I definitely do bulk cooking. Today I mixed up 3 brownie mixes for future use and deep fat fried 6 pounds of chicken fingers. I make something in bulk every weekend. Sarahs last blog post..The Newest Addition to Our Bike Fleet
