When I was just cooking for one, I had a turkey chili and a chicken chili recipe that I used to make frequently. I would eat one serving and freeze the others. I don't freeze much now because there are two of us and so a recipe for 4 servings makes dinner and lunch the next day. I can dig out the recipes if you are interested. They are easy and tasty.

We eat a lot of grilled meat now, and before a trip we usually grill up a bunch of pork chops or chicken thighs to freeze and take along - it doesn't take any longer to grill lots of meat than it does to grill a meal's worth.

: I've recently been experimenting with
: doing a bulk cook over the
: weekend. I've started classes that
: are requiring a lot more of my
: time, and I want to make sure I
: don't fall into preparing
: half-hearted meals in a rush or
: late because of my new schedule. I
: like feeling good and don't want
: to give that up

: So this past weekend I cooked several
: servings each of taco fixings,
: black beans, brown rice, pasta and
: meaty marinara, turkey burgers
: with onions and green bell peppers
: added, and a heap of baked sweet
: potatoes (I tried some purple
: ones! They are tasty!). I put the
: turkey burgers in the freezer to
: pull out later in the week. Plus I
: boiled some eggs for quick snacks,
: and bought some quick and easy
: veggies like a prewashed salad
: mix, and some steam in the bag
: frozen veggie mixes.

: Meals during the week are coming
: together so easy, and I'm feeling
: very cared for by myself. I'm
: trying to decide if it's actually
: more efficient to do my cooking
: this way, since I'm multitasking
: preparing the meals all at the
: same time... anyways this is my
: current experiment.

: Anyone done this type of bulk weekend
: cooking before and have tips? Or
: meal suggestions that work well
: for cooking ahead and freezing?

: I'd love to hear.
