How many people do this?

 

I'm cooking a month's worth of chicken right now. It's going to take a few more hours.

 

Tomorrow I'm cooking a few days worth of various leftovers. Which I will repeat on Wednesday.

 

I use fresh ingredients in all of my meals day to day. I'm at the grocery store every other day at least. But I have to stock up staple food items in the freezer and prepare sauces and ingredients that will last a few days to put it all together quickly.

 

Anybody running the home kitchen like this?

Yes, but thankfully my fiance does it.

you like chili? have you considered making a gigantic pot of chili and freezing it? only thaw out and reheat the portion you want to eat. That chili lasts forever in the freezer.

every now and then, yes.

 

We even order a big tray of food from our favorite restaurants and freeze it after packing in smaller (serving size) containers.

Adobo and sisig are excellent for freezing! Tried and tested

 

I also work for a seafood company so there's always some shrimp and fish in the freezer ready to go.

I have to cook most of my own food from scratch. Here are the staples I cook and freeze for a month:

 

- Spag sauce

- Chili

- Enchilda sauce (and a few enchilads)

- Chicken

- Sausage

- Baked beans

 

There are dozens of sauces and beans and stuff I make about twice a week and keep in the fridge. I prepare most meat and vegatables fresh daily. And I use fresh veggies and stuff to complete meals. But in order to have variety ready for breakfast and lunch I want to have some ingredients ready to go before I put the finishing touches on the meals. I can't have a 100% fresh meal 21 times per week.

Half done :|

 

Serious PITA
