Re: Re: WAS yogurt: giving up and starting over (now bulk cooking)

[Guest guest]

I do a TON of bulk cooking on the weekends...my

favorites on stage one/two are to make a giant pot of

chicken soup and boil 2-3 pounds of carrots as well. I

also cook a few pounds of chicken breasts and sirloin

patties in the oven to have on hand for lunches (me)

and dinners (my son and I).

I make two pans of egg bread and package it up for my

son for school for the week as well. I hard boil a pan

of eggs for quick breakfasts. My son likes to eat two

hard boiled eggs in the morning.

I also make my condiments on the weekend -- mayo and

ketchup.

Then during the week, I only have to make a couple

things, like veggies and extra meats, hard boil eggs

halfway through the week as we run out. Sometimes I

cook extra chicken breasts in the oven and shred and

freeze for chicken salad later. But that depends on if

I have room in my freezer. LOL.

Hope that helps!
