I often hear, people complaining that they don’t have enough time to cook every night, or that they simply don’t like to or want to. I get that; however I do like to cook, but I also have days when I am just too tired, or busy so here is my solution:
Cook in bulk. When you do have the desire and time to don an apron and get busy with the pots and pans, make sure you cook more than enough, and have plenty of sealable containers, a roll of masking tape, and a sharpie pen at hand. (There is nothing worse than coming home late on a cold and dark night, and salivating at the thought of that hearty beef stew that has been defrosting in the fridge all day, to discover on peeling back the lid, that in fact the unmarked previously frozen block of home made deliciousness is in fact cherry sauce left over from the last time you made that fancy duck dinner! Hmmm, not quite the yummy supper you had in mind. So, mark the containers! )
I do this all the time with soups, stews, pasta dishes, rice dishes, quiches, pies, and whatever else is timely to rustle up. I also do this in the morning when I make my juice or smoothie. I make up enough for two batches, so I can have the same at lunch time, as a snack, or save time the next day by grabbing it to go. Healthy, time saving, money saving. Not bad 🙂
