Comments on: My first try at ‘once-a-week’ cooking http://sensetosave.com/2008/08/11/my-first-try-at-once-a-week-cooking/ Sun, 14 Mar 2010 19:16:20 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Ira Hubbard http://sensetosave.com/2008/08/11/my-first-try-at-once-a-week-cooking/comment-page-1/#comment-18153 Ira Hubbard Wed, 10 Sep 2008 01:38:24 +0000 http://sensetosave.com/?p=989#comment-18153 I love doing this it saves a lot of time during the week especially if you know you are going to have a busy week. I've found that I just need to go shopping and then go home and prep for the week or I end up not sticking with my initial plan which throws off the whole point. I love doing things like making a whole lasagna and then having it for dinner and lunch that way I save money by not buying lunch at work the next day. Plus its great for left over day. I hope you find this technique as helpful as I have. I love doing this it saves a lot of time during the week especially if you know you are going to have a busy week.

Because who really calls them that? "Oh, wow, these tenders are amazing." <33333 I like that you put “tenders” in quotations.

I will make extra to freeze when I make lasagna, but that's about it. Have you ever watched "Quick Fix Meals with Robin Miller" on Food Network? She doesn't freeze meals in advance, but she'll plan out extra, so she'll make chicken stir fry, but extra so the next evening she can make quick quesadillas.

When I buy ground beef or chicken in bulk I will take some time then to put meals together. Not necessarily for that week, but for the future. So I will do a big batch of several meatloafs and lots of meatballs and eat on then for a couple of months. All your meals sound so good, I think i will try some! I think you did great.

I spent about an hour yesterday cooking and for only one meal! I'm sure you save yourself lots of time, and money (considering the food is already prepared, so the temptation of going out to eat is reduced). <em>Frank's last blog post..</em><a href='http://milkyourmoney.com/2008/08/11/pictvs-preview-of-an-inconvenient-debt/?&owa_from=feed&owa_sid=' rel="nofollow">Pic.TV’s Preview of An Inconvenient Debt</a> That’s an interesting idea.

I'll try this one of these days as cooking every night is getting too much for me even though I tend to chop most vegetables and get evertything else ready on the weekend.
