Big Batch Cooking

[Guest guest]

Channel surfing often brings me to Ray because her daily show is

repeated three times on one local channel.

is perky and energetic and uses a lot of commercial foods that

we can't touch but I admire some of her time saving short cuts and

ideas for batch cooking. ( A few days ago she roasted three or four

whole chickens, used one for the evening meal and the meat from others

to create four or five oven ready to serve saving family sized dishes

that could be refrigerated and/or frozen)

I decided to apply the principle by preparing a very large batch of the

SCD spaghetti sauce from BTVC but making it very dense with lots of

minced beef. It took ten minutes to prep and a little over an hour to

simmer on the stove top.

Here are some of the ways I can use it for SCD:

Enchilladas or Canneloni: Make some plain pancakes, Roll the meat sauce

in as filling. Place in a baking dish and smother with shredded

cheese.*

Tacos: Make shells from Provolone cheese rounds* and fill with shredded

veggies and the meat sauce.

Cabbage rolls: Parboil cabbage leaves. Add some shredded parboiled

cauliflower and raisins* to the meat sauce, stuff the cabbage with the

mixture and bake.

Lasagna: Layer a baking dish with thin strips of peeled zucchini.

Combine DCCC with a beaten egg. layer this with the meat sauce and

shredded legal cheese* and bake.

Pizza: Make SCD pizza crust and use some of the meat sauce with

vegetables and cheese*

Scallop Stir Fry: Saute sweet red pepper cut in strips, Portobello

mushroom slices and fresh pineapple tidbits in butter or oil. Add

drained scallops and saute until lightly browned. Add some of the sauce

and a teaspoon of honey.

Spanish Omelet; add to any type of omelet

Spaghetti: use sauce with cooked spaghetti squash strings

Chili: soak legal dried beans* overnight, rinse several times, simmer

in salt free water two hours, add SCD homemade chili powder and the

meat sauce and bake or simmer on the stovetop.

* Some of these recipes contain dairy, beans, nut flour or dried fruit.

Modify the ingredients according to your needs and stage of progress

Without watching Ray, I never would have attempted this diet

with basically no cooking skills. I have several cookbooks also.

She's great! Thanks for the ideas on the batch cooking also .
