In an effort to make mealtimes easier & cut down on the cost of convenience foods, I try to have a cooking/baking day occasionally. Mondays is my assigned day. I feel that by assigning myself a specific day to do it, I am more likely to actually do it. Some ladies do once-a-month cooking, and I think that is great. However for me, just having a baking/cooking day allows me to not feel so overwhelmed. I try to do it every two weeks.
My cooking & baking day usually consists of making some breakfast foods for the freezer, cooking a few pounds of hamburger meat, and cooking a whole chicken and freezing it into meal-sized portions. Sometimes I fix a large pot of beef stew or something similar and freeze into portions so that we can have some easy & healthy lunches.
Here are a few ideas for breakfast. Click highlighted words for a link to the recipes:
- pancakes
- cappucinno muffins
- breakfast burritos.
- Sometimes I also make a quiche to heat up for the next morning.
