This is one those LCF treasure threads. I love it! Subbing and now I;m gonna figure out how much I would need for the stuff in the first post because there's only two of us eating and only me doing low carb.

I do something similar once a week but I try to use what is on hand or cheap at the time. Here is a recent post I did about my "Big Cook". I like having meals in the freezer. I am a SAHM so I have some flexability afforded me but it's nice to have something to heat up when the rest of the family is eating something that I can't have or if I'm home alone and don't feel like cooking. I didn't even have to bother this week as I made so much last week.

Mommie22boys · 03-04-2011, 10:19 AM

Bumping because I just saw a post in another money-saving thread that made me think of this post.

h82bl8 · 03-04-2011, 12:00 PM

I buy when proteins are on sale.
Recently I bought:
15 lbs.of 97% fat free ground sirloin @ 1.99 lb
5 lbs. of chicken wings (found price reduced) @.99lb
3 lbs boneless/skinless breast fillets (price reduced) @ 1.25 lb
7lbs eye of round roast $1.99 lb

Put all these in serving size ziplocks, some with marinade, set aside one package of each and make lunches/dinners for week.

This week I grilled chicken tenders that were marinaded in Caesar dressing, cooked up taco meat with home made seasonings, baked chicken breasts in green enchilada sauce served with sour cream and cheese.

Mommie22boys · 03-04-2011, 06:05 PM

I found another batch (once a month cooking) session posted in another thread. . .grocery list included!

HI there, thanks for the good ideas.

I make ahead One Minute Muffins.

Go ahead and measure all the dry ingredients and put in a ziploc & them put it all back in the flax meal box. I keep the directions written directly on the back of the box.
Add an egg and some melted butter & in 1 minute I have breakfast!
((err.. pass more the butter!))

Hey! I was looking for one like this. It had a woman's list of everything she did to prepare for the week. I will take this instead.

shelby'snana · 01-27-2013, 04:11 PM

bumping too ! I do this the day or two before I work my 6 - 12hr shifts. I definitely don't have time to cook ! Cook every day on my days off though.
